Hi all!, I am just signing up to the forum part of the website here. I have been a subscriber to the magazine for years, and with the site for a couple.....I don't know why I never created a user acct? I once had a question of mine published in the magazine???? whoo hoo claim to fame!! haha
I thought that this would be a great tool for me in that my skills are above average, but I would definately like to improve them, and I would love to be able to hear from others, their opinion's, knowledge on a subject and their suggestion's in regards to building in general. I have read thru a lot of these forums and I really like how they are very informative, and yet very laid back and friendly!
I work, currently, exclusively in WW II land 1/48 aircraft and 1/35 armor...and have a modest start on a good "stack" of models that "need" to get done!! haha I am preparing to build my first diorama. It is going to be a smaller one done in 1/35 scale and I plan to have it set in the Battle of France circa 1940. I haven't fianlized all the details but I know I plan on having a Sd.kfz. 251 in it. ...........?
Which brings me to my first official "Forum question" if anyone can help?? I have looked pretty good for a definate answer, but didn't see anything official.......Does anyone know if the Sd.kfz. 251 Ausf. C was in service with the Wermacht by the Battle of France?? Let alone a 251/10 version?? I read somewhere that the "C" version came out in middle 1940...but no definate answer whether or not it served in France??? Reason being I don't have a kit of an "A" or "B" Ausf.
Well I thank you all so much for all your input on mine and every other topic!! I look forward to perusing the forum often!! Till Later
