    For everybody who's been saying " I WANT one",The Czechs kept those in production until the late 1960s as the OT-810..... they've been on the used vehicle market for some time..... The reenactor groups who you see tooling around in 251's are actually using these vehicles bought and backdated... Also the Czecks put them a more modern diesel engine into them. With a lot of Money,Time and some sheet metal work,you too can drive the pride of the Panzergrenadiers.....(that's if they're street legal...lol)

    the balkenkreuz was later in the war not on every halftrack, even tanks were often not marked with it, so i don´t see an error in this;) they created an SS Wiking Divison Halftrack with late Camo, so it´s not unusual to have no "Balkenkreuz" on it.

    Beautiful restoration that sounds as good as it looks, well done. The thing I always thought odd about the SdKfz 251/7 was why the decision was made the mount the bridging ramps so high as to need extra metal framing to mount them horizontally atop the vehicle superstructure. I would have thought it would be easier to simply place mounting cleats just above the side sponsion boxes. This way the flanged edge of the ramp would rest on the cleat groove and lay inboard against the sloped hull side wall since there are no cab doors. This would lower the silhouette and provide unobstructed firing arcs for the crew, as well as providing some additional spaced armor effect from the ramps themselves when mounted. Additionally making it easier to mount and dismount the ramps. just a few thoughts. ^_^
