Hey Guys,
I am finishing up the run of 222's and will be making the 223 molds this week .
Get your orders in now because I need to get back on the HIND project.
$200 for either the 222 or 223 plus shipping.
All of the 222 orders should ship on Tuesday. 1-30-18
Except for Zelda . I will ship your 222 with the 223 and turrets . Should be next week with no problems.

I HAVE ONE REJECT SDKFZ 222 KIT AVAILABLE .
Reject meaning that most of the parts have larger than normal holes thinner parts and slight warpage.
You will get all of the parts with the kit.
With more elbow grease than normal you will be able to make this popular AFV at half the prize.
Some parts may be fine with no extra work.
Normally I would fix all of the parts but I just do not have the time.
$100 plus 10 shipping in the lower 48.

Matthew,
do I need to order the 2 longer turret for the Sdkfz 251/23 in an offical way?
If yes, please take this as an order.

Hello Sven,
I probably will not be doing the longer turret until I get the HIND kits wiped out.
But the 222 turrets are available. I made them with the roof for the 251

All of the 222s and 223s are packed and will ship out tomorrow .
On the 223 I cut the large frame antenna into 2 pieces and reinforced the join with wire.
I have wires sticking out from all 4 ends just pull ONE SIDE out and slide together.
I casted the t-tubes with brass so that they would be hallow just slide them off of the tube.
I casted tiny rings ( insulaters) that go just under the t-tube . The main supports will line them up.
I made notes in the flash film look at them before you cut the flash .
I made and internal frame that needs to be cut away so that the T-tubes will slide on the large frame.
Pictures to fallow.
