Takom Sdkfz 250/1 build

[Dan]

Step 1 done. Good fit so far.

[Dan]

Step 2 almost done.
Roadwheel arms have a bit of play and I’ll have to figure out what the neutral position is.

[Tank_1812]

Looks good so far.

[Dan]

Thanks, figuring out the ride hight will be interesting.

[Tank_1812]

Except for a possible track length issue a terrain can fix any issue with the height.

[Dan]

I guess in time I’ll figure it out.

[Tank_1812]

You know it should be below the idler and sprocket center line. Add a wheel or two on the outside edges and add Legos or some other material to raise the hull to give you a nice track sag line to your eyes.

[Danny_Herron]

I have this kit, so looking forward to see howvthis turns out. Can hardly wait for the Das Werk 1/16 scale. Oh, down my beating heart.

[Dan]

I’ve been using Panzer Tracts 15-1 to help out.

[Dan]

Some puttying is needed.

[Dan]

Front suspension is getting on the lower hull.

[Dan]

All the front suspension parts are on.

[Dan]

Added the small rings at the end of the front tow hooks.

[Dan]

Wheels!
Salami sliced works well, but part B10 is actually B11.

[SableLiger]

I’ll be keeping an eye on this build, since I have two of these in the stash, plus the “Grief” on order from my LHS.

[Dan]

Some of the transmission assembled.

[Danny_Herron]

Bought it and its on the way…not too sure if I’ll build this as a pre-lim for the 1/16 scale from Das Werks…

[SableLiger]

I hope this helps out on your build.

[Dan]

Thanks, I noticed that it has hand grenade holders on the storage box, which I’ve not seen before. I’m now looking for engine compartment photos.

[Dan]

I think the transmission is done. I added the tread plate from Archer.
