SdKfz 252 Ammunition Carrier

[Squirrel]

Is there an SdKfz 252 Ammunition Carrier in the WW2 range? Could have sworn I'd seen he, but now can't find it for looking 

No big deal if not, I'll just convert some.

Cheers,

GR71 252/16 Flammpanzerwagen with the GR67 Utility Trailer might do it.
This is the only photo I can find of the 252/16

Pretty certain GR71 is a mislabelled 251/17 which is the standard half-track Flammpanzerwagen.

If I'm right then the catalogue needs editing Leon!

If the 252 is going to be used with an StuG unit then a 250/6 (not noticeably different from the standard version in 10mm I'd have thought) or a turretless PzI would be possible alternatives.

If it has to be a 252 then scratch building looks to be it.

Yep, I was just going by the description. I don't think a 252/16 existed or that the picture I found is correctly labelled. I can't find any other reference to it.
I think you mean it should be 251/16 though. The 251/17 was an AA version I believe.

You're right 251/16 is the Flammenwerfer.

Dragging the info from a spreadsheet seems to have incremented the number by one.

I suspect the 251 to 252 may be the result of something similar!

Only two versions of the 252 iirc - one for the short barrelled StuG and one with a dozen, or so, fewer rounds for the later long barrelled ones.

Thanks guys, sounds like I'll be going for the conversion then 

Simple enough really, I'll just get  GR82, slice the back to form the slope, stuff with milliput and add the required hatches. Add a utility trailer and jobs a goodun
