A little while ago I started on one of the projects that was laying around. I made a 253 from the AH 250 kit. Reference was kind of here and there but my main reference was the line drawings in the schurtzenpanzer book.
To start this project off all screw holes and mounts were removed and filled. Factory hood and engine access areas were filled and new ones made. Factory visors were filled and replaced with more accurate ones. I used various parts that I have laying around. The ones made specific for this was the turrett and the side storage box. Here is a list of the parts that went on this.
Engine *
Radiator*
Air Cleaner*
Brake Light*
Convoy Light **
Jack Block*
Turn Indicators*
Fire Extinguisher*
Notek Light*
Head Light*
Visors**
Hood Tie Downs*
Tow Hitch*
Wheel Hubs*
Radios*
First Aid box *
Dash **
Transmission *
Side Storage box *
Turrett*
Umformer*
Tranny hub*
* denotes parts mastered,molded and cast by myself.
** denotes parts molded and cast by myself.
Although I had alot of parts cast for this project, I still had to do a little scratchbuilding here and there. The list of scratchbuilt parts are:
Tie Rod ends
Rear door section
Roof section
tow hooks
antenna
seats
Track tension device
Radio rack
I did use some aftermarket parts on this build. I used tool clamps from Armopax and decals from John's stuff.
Early on in build. Note weld lines added.
Rear section rework.
Radio rack and radio used in the interior.

Anyway,here it is. I had alot of fun building this. As always. Enjoy...
