CyberHobby Sd.kfz 251/2 Aufs C

[spud]

So i looked at the instructions for the Puma the other day and i just couldn't get going with them instructions. there a nightmare to read and kill the mojo, so i dug this guy out to get me motoring again

The Kit. although i think mine is older because my box doesn't have this on the back like the new kits do, I wont be using the rocket things on the side because im Doing a Captured one in US hands


So far so good anyhow with this one, Instructions are fine and easy on the eye and brain,





I was going to buy a Resin Canvas cover but at almost 20 euro for a bit this size i think it was over priced.
So i decided to make my one after.

This thing was a disaster to make, putting in the support beams i broke them 4 times. spilled some oil and a cup of water and lost the rag at that point and things got kicked and my magic sculpt went flying that 20 euro would have saved all that,

Bring it on spud! Cover looks good despite the trouble you had with it.

[spud]

Thanks John.

[Leon]

Hi Spud ... I thought I was the only one who bought that kit ..lol I've never seen anyone build it up , so I'll be watching .. I was thinking of doing it as a 251/2 as well and keep the rockets for another Dragon 251C kit .. Nice start ..keep it coming .

Fantastic work on the cover... 20 EU just for a cover?!?!? Crazy!

Is that the kit you bought from Bill earlier? Always loved that 251 version as I built one out of Tamiya kit decades ago.

Count me in for this one, always fun seeing a 251 come together. have to agree that's a lot of cash for such a small casting, looks good though.

[spud]

Thanks alot guys

Andy yes this is the one Nice kit not found any errors so far .

Hey Rick Thanks for hopping in, ill use the pods on something at some point also.

thanks Vlad yea for something so small its not worth it then there is the wait for postie.

I thought it looked familiar! Nice to see you taking this one on Spud!

[dupes]

Spud - are you doing this as the mortar variant (as you aren't using the rockets)?

[spud]

I am dupes.

[tonylee]

[spud]

hehe, Thanks Tony

[spud]

Some progress on this one, the top half was a bugger to get to fit right and so was the rear, all one now so im happy.

The rear doors are a crappy fit so will most likly be in the open position apart from that the rest of the build is fine.

[deafpanzer]

Looking good! Sounds like a good plan... maybe a small diorama with troops coming out to catch those beach bunnies suspected of being too friendly with US GIs in a duck.

[spud]

lol. i was thinking of having it attached to my M5 3inch Gun from AFV Club

That's some nice floor weathering, boots a plenty!

[bullardino]

Nice start

I love the weathering of the floor

[spud]

Ty lads its all primed up now all i need to do now is cut some wheels clean them up and make some track

[Leon]

Great job on the floor weathering Spud.Coming along nicely.

[wbill76]

Off to a great start spud! You should move this one over to the MHISC before you get it too far along. Love the look of that floor. Here's the link to the new forum: www.myhobbyinfo.com/forum/index.php
