CyberHobby Sd.kfz 251/2 Aufs C

So i looked at the instructions for the Puma the other day and i just couldn't get going with them instructions. there a nightmare to read and kill the mojo, so i dug this guy out to get me motoring again

The Kit. although i think mine is older because my box doesn't have this on the back like the new kits do, I wont be using the rocket things on the side because im Doing a Captured one in US hands

So far so good anyhow with this one, Instructions are fine and easy on the eye and brain,





I was going to buy a Resin Canvas cover but at almost 20 euro for a bit this size i think it was over priced.
So i decided to make my one after.

This thing was a disaster to make, putting in the support beams i broke them 4 times. spilled some oil and a cup of water and lost the rag at that point and things got kicked and my magic sculpt went flying that 20 euro would have saved all that,

Nice to see you back in the saddle spud, looks to be a much nicer kit compared to the Tamiya varient I recently built.

Some progress on this one, the top half was a bugger to get to fit right and so was the rear, all one now so im happy.

The rear doors are a crappy fit so will most likly be in the open position apart from that the rest of the build is fine.

The Wood benches logs so good.

Some pics of teh Progress and a bit of a layout on how im thinking f setting it up. the figs are all Alpine,




ill have this on tow i recon. I had planned on using the M5 gun but i changed my mind.


New Markings, i had decals on but they were too sharp so i painted over them.




Im not happy with some of the chipping, ill have to try and fix that with more chipping :/ some of it is ok so its not a total loss
