Sd.Kfz. 251/17

1/35 scale Dragon #6292

Contrary to my habit, this fresh Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251 is 99% Out Of The Box ! And was built in a couple of hours.

It's the 2005 Dragon kit, and it is still up to date, including photo-etched parts, magic track, aluminum barrel ... Everything fits like a Tamiya kit, except the hupper hull, don't know if it's my mistake or a bad design, but nothing styrene can't fix !
I also remake some photoetched part with 0.25 styrene because I anticipated the nightmare to build it with CA glue

I really like the 251 serie, but the interior is a pain to paint ...
So I glued the minimum of necessary parts ! The 2cm gun is not anymore movable but almost every part can be disassemble (I basically glue what you don't have to glue and let the rest free of cement !)
