SdKfz 2 Kettenkrad from Xion.

Post by FredtheFrench »

Good evening everybody.

This is my new vehicle from Xion, a kettenkrad very difficult to find and with all options except passenger and trailer.

I found it on catawiki with a luck, because I was on this site to find a Half track and the site purposed me this kettenkrad, but with a mistake in title because writing was: Kettenrad...

I think I was lucky for this auction...

I bought the book kettenkrad in detail and decals sheet from peddinghaus.

Hi Fred,

Great find with the kettenkrad :D they are very rare now and very expensive for what you get in the kit, they need a lot of work to run properly, Eddyk here on the site has a couple of fantastic examples of these which he has put a lot of work into. I was lucky enough to buy one before the price skyrocketed but then it was still expensive 8O I think it cost me around £350 which included the driver and passenger though, I made a trailer for it myself which now houses the battery as the space in the main body is very tight, look forward to seeing it come to life :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

This is the trailer that I made Fred, the stowage is removable so I can place the battery underneath and the cable's run through the tow pole into the main body :thumbup:

Thank you gentlemen.

Good idea the battery in the trailer. I don t know if mine will use the same system or will be in the original place.


Your trailer is beautiful and I would like to know, where do you find the wheels of your trailer ?

Have a good day.

Fred.

Hi Fred, I bought the wheels off of Ebay, they were just a random find and only cost me a couple of pounds for 4 of them :D here is a link to how I made the trailer :thumbup:
