Anyone try to dope out a SdKfz 251 Ausf C custom?

Topic pretty much says it all. I was looking at a spare Hanomag and it appears as though a conversion wouldn't require too much intellect. At least, more than I possess.

Anyone done the math on something like this?

Indeed. Seems like the blisters should be fairly easy to do with sheet styrene. Are there any issues with the hood to front vision port plate angle, or the width of that plate?

Also, do you have any measurements, such as overall length, or do you know of a good source to find them?

This is interesting, as I have one that I have been working on for about 4 years now. Only difference is I'm doing the ausf B over the C. It is almost complete minus the little work on the finders and need to build the side boxes. Also need another henge from the back hatch of a Panther for my doors to work. I don't have much time any more for customs though. I have always wondered if I would ever finish it. If anyone wants to take up the task drop me an line. I would like to see it finish one day even if it isn't me that does it.

I admire you guys' determination. I personally wasn't planning on having the rear doors functional. Being neck deep with my Tiger custom has cooled my enthusiasm for 'extra' levels of detail. Nice to have, but more fuss than required to gain the proper apperance.

Good luck to ya fellas.
