Sd Kfz 251/21 Ausf D Alemanha1943 1:35

To summarize: In your opinion is the process is all wrong, since the year of existence, painting through the antenna to montangem in general!

So I have the greatest praser to meet the gentleman who owns the grounds, passing a declaration of ignorance to a mere mortal with a remarkable level of knowledge purists.

But you know the owner, I want to ride kits and the colors I pick at my leisure.

Their criticisms are definitely directed at extremely high modelers.

OK: but the 2cm Drilling variant, the SdKfz 251/21 was produced in August 1944.  You say it's an SdKfz 251/21, German 1943.  I'm saying the 251/21 did not exist in 1943.  It's your model -- title it what you want.

And you still want to make sure the interior is the same paint as the exterior.  Straighten out the antenna.  German antennae were hollow rods -- not a flexible whip antenna like the US/UK antennae.  Your MG42 is mounted incorrectly -- the swing mount attached to the rear area of the MG barrel housing, not the front.  The cross decals have very bad silvering too.  Good luck w/your project.

The chassis remained largely unchanged during development. In the Ausf B accounted for the side slits at the rear structure. The Ausf C was redesigned in mid-1940, taking account of operational experience. The front bumper fell off, the Bugbleche were reshaped and designed the new engine room ventilation. With the Ausf D, both the production as well as simplifying the fight experience was taken into account in 1943 again. In particular, the tail were simpler and more spacious, increases the storage boxes and improves the shape of the armor. From the Ausf D, most copies were made ​​with 10,602.

The annual production started slowly and remained until 1941 produced more than 1000 SPW per year. 1942 1190 SPW could be made​​, while there were 1943 4250 and 1944 7800 piece. A total of 15,252 vehicles were of all types and variants built

I looked up the 251/21.  It began in August 1944 according to Chamberlain and Ellis

Thanks for posting your picture Alexander.  I noticed that your halftrack interior is a different color than the exterior and the drilling gun.  FYI: All portions of the interior were painted the same shade as the exterior -- dunkelgelb.  Also the 2cm Drilling 251/21 configuration probably was a late 1944-45 variant, not 1943.  Hope this helps

Very nice. This is one of my favorite variants of the 251 family. Looking good!
