Latest Toy
Along time ago in a land far away, I bought a flat plastic kit for a turret that turns a 1/6 Armor Hobbies SdKfz 250 into a SdKfz 250/9. The turret mounts a 20mm gun and a MG 34 mg.
This kit sat on my to do bench (as is usual for my projects, especially those involving sassembly and painting) for awhile until I sugessted to Pickel (as part of another deal) that he could assemble the kit.
He did and the result is just a super 250/9. OK, so the paint is off and will be corrected but it looks super.

Re: Latest Toy
What you can't see is Pickels assembly of the gun itself.
Pickel thought the seats that came with the kit were not 100% correct so he made new ones.
Also I didn't like the 20mm gun that came with the kit and substituted a 20mm made by another 1/6 modeler, Toysurgeon. Pickel modified the mount to accept the new gun.
It must be great to be talented..

Re: Latest Toy
That looks fantastic, even in the gray color. There was a near-identical kit offered for sale at Toychestandcollectables.com a week or so ago. I almost bit the bullet, but decided to hold off... Still, it looks great

Re: Latest Toy
Cory at Toychestcollectibles sold me my turret. That was awhile back. Cory recently had a new shipment of these turrets and they sold out very quickly.
I bought one of the new turrets and gave it to a buddy, I owed big time, over a vehicle I sold him that arrived at his house smashed. Damn shippers. Sometimes you just can't win.
