The models were repaired and checked for printability.
This is a pack for weapon options, scaled for 28mm, for the German Sd. Kfz. 251
...Plus armoured half track. I developed this set to fit a Warlord/Italeri 28mm kit, and if using another kit or a 3D printed model, you will have to adjust for the interior and exterior thickness of the width.
I created these to allow wargamers to be able use their Hanomags for more than one purpose; just don't glue the actual weapon to your model (well, the rear MG42 is good to go on all; but leave the front weaponry free)
This pack includes the weapon systems for the following:
1) the 251/1 - Standard armament of a front mount MMG with small shield and a rear mount pintle MMG. I used the MG mounts from Tiger Ace's excellent 1/100 model, carved it off the model, upscaled and thickened the model for durability. I created a small recess in the mount; post-print use can use a think pin drill to drill it out and I suggest gluing a small piece of paper clip of similar item to allow easy and durable removal and replacement, dependent on your weapon choice.
2) the 251/10 - Retaining the same rear MMG for all models, Here used Tiger Ace's Pak 36 model, adding the separate pivot. I did this to allow a flat print surface for the gun, and to raise it slightly over the bullet splash plate on the frontal arc. Again, the bottom of the gun has a recess, clean this out and glue in the pivot. the pivot also has a recess; after the pivot and gun are set, drill out the pivot recess and glue in small piece of paper clip.
3) the 251/9 - I cut out the gun from Bergman's 251/9, upscaled it, worked to create a "drop in" weapon system (e.g. take off the front MG or Pak 36 and drop this on). the support piece is glued into the recess on the bottom of the gun mount; it fits just ahead on the passenger benches, and allows the gun to stay in place; there are small protrusions at the back of the piece that keep it straight in the compartment.
4) the 251/22 - this bad boy comes courtesy of Alainkif; an excellent model of the Pak40. I used his model and worked with it and created a "drop in" weapon system.
5) the Stuka vu Fuss, or "ground stuka". This was entirely my own creation. Please note this will only work on models WITHOUT side storage. The model in the pics is an old Warlord one of mine which I have recently stripped, but it has side storage. the rack will fit over the front and rear MMGs, it will be obvious how if you print it.
Please note you will need to print three (3) of each side's rockets; there is a small "nub" on each that need to fit into the rack. it is only intended as a guide; not a secure locking system. You will need to glue the rockets on; I suggest one at a time, and let them set; you want them to have a similar elevation level.
