Here are a couple of progress pics of my Leichte Zugkraftwagen, which was a late-War vehicle based on the Sd Kfz 251 chassis. The AFV Club 1/35 version is in the background.
If anybody has a loose, broken Kubelwagen (either 21st or Minichamps), I need the headlights, Notek, and tail lights from one.

Cool

Very good gary1930... how hard was it taking the Hanomag apart? {assuming thats what you used}

I may have to try my hand at one of these...

Not easy. They screw it AND glue it. It looks to be impossible to get the track assemblies off as the road wheels are glued on and cover up access to the screws holding them on.

Wow, everything looks spot on by the 1/35 version. Nice job.

Gary, you're like a mad scientist when it comes to customs. That is one way to get a truck! I have to come see this one.

Gary brought the halftrack over yesterday. Even unfinished it's a beauty.
If Gary ever starts selling kits, I'll have to get one of these to tow my Pak-40.
