At least you can now produce a lot more if you need them!!!Thanks Andrew, It took only a day to do the mould and another day to cast. The thought process took longer.
Cheers,

Hi Tim,
They mounted the short barreled 7,5cm on the 231 chassis too. it was open topped without the turret. The later 234 series had 4 models and the 234/3 had the same gun. The Puma, 234/2 had the long barreled 5cm gun. The 234/1 had a 2cm w/coax MG 42 and the 234/4 had the 7,5cm long barrel PaK 40. The 234 series was powered by a 12 cylinder diesel motor and the 231 series had gasoline engines. All of them could be driven forwards or backwards with the second set of controls built in.
AFV Club also makes the 7,5cm version, but they are very expensive when you find one (I'm still on the look out).....................

Wow Steve, looks like you had some fun getting those tracks into order, well done it looks good. Yes please keep it comming.
Very nice moulding Richard, a dark art still to me.
Thanks Allen. I was thinking of the PaK 40 version, forgot about the close support version

It was made on both. The Sd.Kfz. 233 used the same chassis as the 263:
while the Sd.Kfz. 234/3 used the later chassis:
Edit: I see this was answered already

Decals printed. There is a problem. In book ''Bradley M2/M3 in action'' says that vehicle belongs to 3rd brigade of 2nd armored division. But, number 92 on rear ramp confusing. I assume that is more correctly 92nd engineering battalion, and vehicle, pure M2 (not newer) is there for defense, if some surprise hapend.
That`s looking absolutely superb TimWell the big pig is done….

More shots on her own thread here..
Tim’s Sd.Kfz 263 started Autumn 2014
Well, this thing is really giving me the hump now…….not only is detail painting really hard because there are so many sticking out bits making it really fragile, but this just happened! Remember me saying why I abandoned this build seven years ago…..I lost a rear hatch door, couldn’t find it...www.scale-models.co.uk
,I love it!!I`ve always liked the look of these things,and i have a stalled build of one in my cupboard of culpability,(But in German Grey),
A truly iconic AFV IMHO,and,one clever beastie too!!
Nice one mate,a pleasure to look at!

You need to get yours finished as well…..would be good to see what someone else can do with it….
..... erm..... yes,i do indeed........ but who`s "Steve"?!!Many thanks Steve. Very kind comments
I think I’ve caught P Diddy disease……the symptoms are continually getting someone’s bloody name wrong…..mea culpa mate…sorry
Hi guys
I have put together my cardboard Razor from the Mandalorian. I must say it is extremely well engineered for a cardboard model. I would also like to meet the 8 year old who could assemble this because I would ask him to do my tax returns for me. Definitely needs some modelling skill, particularly where the curved bits are concerned. Also for my "You can never apply too much glue" school of modelling the tube the kit contains is definitely too small. First photo is the example "sprue" shot and the others show my finished effort, the Tet bottle is just to show size, apparently it is 1/64th.

John, are you looking for Sheldon Cooper, maybe...
.Sorry for quoting a TV character... Wonderful model; I'd hardly say it's paper.
Looks excellent to me John. I think 1/64 is a gaming scale , probably designed for 28mm figures…….if you want to make a “non franchise” crew for it have a look at the Stargrave figures from North Star figures…..lots of fun in a box…..

A superb build John. The world of paper modelling has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years. Here in the UK we need to do some catching up but in Europe it has a massive following. This is me with a paper bazooka. Very realistic
Nice sleeve Steve. You look a little too comfy w/RPG.
