Just received today the sdkfz 251 Ds for anyone interested. I like them but not too sure about the length link |

The length is indeed a nit longer on the 'D' variant. The rear slope was simplified on this model with a single slope downward vs the double slope on the A-C models. link Length 5.8m for A-C and 5.98m for D. link |

Hi. Nice blog. Looking at the spruce picture, it looks light the machine gunner is firing a MG34 but the extra machine guns are MG42s. Is that correct? Michael in Cloverdale. |

thanks Michael, you are right. The gunner is firing a MG34 and the spare MG are 42s. |

The 'D' is more appropriate for late war I'm assuming? |

1943 onward it looks like. Or just use them for any time period and be happy.  |

Chaps
The firing gunner is firing an MG42 |

Are you sure CATMAN? I really thought it was an MG34. I'll look again |

I zoomed the jpeg of the completed model on the PSC site and it definitely looks like a '42 to me. |

@helmet101
Totally sure – i am the manufacturer!
I have both sprues on my desk
To be fair, at that scale and they are accurately scaled, they look very similar – you need to squint up close |
| helmet101 | 28 Oct 2011 4:43 a.m. PST |
you need to squint up close :-) Nice pieces anyway! I am eagerly waiting for the option boxe. How is it going to look like? |
| CATMAN2 | 31 Oct 2011 1:25 a.m. PST |
As much as i can cram on the sprue! 37mm platoon commader, mortar, stummel, command, flamm, pioneer if space permits – stuka, drilling and ambulance (canvas top) |

Keeping my fingers crossed that the Drilling makes the cut. |

PSC's version of 251/1D is really similar to BF's link |
checks out some 10/15mm railroad tracks for wargaming.
