Milling the flats onto our driveshafts for the front drive sprockets
How the chassis should look after assembly
Still got to handmake all the torsion springs for the roadwheels, but have another JIG designed and made up for those

Ooh! That milling machine and a lathe would be such fine complements to my drill press. You are getting all the great toys! I sure do enjoy seeing these videos of the SdKFz 251 in the making. Thank you!

Re: 1/16 WCP Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. C
So whilst finishing off the stock 251's we also had requests from various customers early on for certain modifications also
So this one is a Uhu setup and we are using a modified version of our 60cm searchlight to model the infra red unit, some parts still to change, but its starting to come out nicely
The lens deflectors will be removed as they would not be present in the infra red lamp unit
The unit rotates and elevates using some small 90° geared motor units which are coupled to small escs which will be hidden underneath.

Hey Will,
the 251/20 UHU is a very seldom Model.

Looks good, i see uses asiatam front rubber tyres and metal tracks, who is the manufacturer of the rest of the model?
Re: 1/16 WCP Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. C
Hello Will,
the model is unique and built entirely of brass by Manfred Zinnecker.
The front tyres look like asiatam but are smaller in diameter.

It's starting to look like a Hanomag assembly line. I wish I could visit to pick mine up at the factory door. Aber...so geht's.

You would be more than welcome to pickup in person.
But might be a long commute and more expensive than us just posting it
Production Line yes really. Its hard going fitting in around full time work and family life, but they are tantalisingly close now
Weather is also with us, so will be putting in primer soon
