Now colour me interested Will I'd love a 1/16 '251' to add to my fleet of vehicles

Cheers, Lee.

Ohhh, now there's a toy on my to-do list - what were you planning on using for tracks? I was considering getting some more flexible PLA from Rigid.ink and printing them out like old style vinyl tracks, and gluing the ends together.

Honestly i think i am going to cheat a little. I was toying with idea of stealing nylon tracks from a HL tank like a cut down Pzr3 track. Also looking to steal some 1/ metal sus arms to setup a lower torsion bar sus setup. but not got that far yet. To be proper i need to draw up the tracks, but early days. ONly spent a couple hours on the 251 so far so it is weeks/months away
I have a whole host of half tracks to look at including famo etc and i still want to do my 88

Funny how many people have said that lol
i love the 251, so lots of different variants aswell to produce like Tiger6 Trucks

There's always the 251/10 Greif

The Pak36 mounted in the back you mean
Don't worry Pak36 is on the list, but low down.
There is a 251/4 which towed the artillery pieces like Pak40 as it was a tractor variant in the C type shape with mudguards.

The 251/22 had a Pak40 mounted in the rear, but i believ it was a D type shape hull, but that is easy to modify later as another variant.
I hope this is where i can produce a range of variants, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. I love making these things

I still trying to track down info so i can do a Famo, but that can wait

Oops, I may have had some misinformation, I probably mean the 250/3, this thing.

Ah yes, it is a cut down chassis of a 251. The 250 was more of a scout or command type vehicle rather than a tractor or mobile artillery in itself.
There is alot different, but i should be able to modify my 251 to a 250 relatively easily. But yes good idea as it utilises the foundation in the 251. Looks like i going to end up with 30 Halftracks built up now to showcase the versions haha.

Tiger, i think i better leave you to get on with the 88, i going to be busy here by looks of things hahahahahahahhaha

Will, I have a 1/6 scale 250 half-track in case we need it for details or Dimensions. Just let me know.

Cool. Track width and wheel and sprocket sizes and teeth count would be good
