I'm really hoping this is a six-wheeler*, otherwise that nose is going to be a plough^! :o


*: Maybe a five-wheeler? Single wheel front-&-centre? ??? :-\




EDIT: ^US plow corrected to English plough. ;)

Something similar in concept. An ad hoc 6-wheel Sd Kfz 251 rebuild for an old extended Spanish Civil War theme.

Little bit of progress today

There's one drawback of whiffing for me .... seeing that one plans by imagination there's no formal build plan to follow... and this makes for delay in some cases :(

File this under confirmation bias, but I went a googling to see if there was a real wheeled 251 (hey, the Germans did all sorts of strange stuff) and found this -
