Title: [WWII]Questions on passengers for vehicles
Post by: barbarian on 30 January 2014, 02:29:24 PM
Is there any code for seated Germans to put into Sdkfz 251 ?

EDIT : GR78 !!!

Usually they have to be cast as part of the whole model, B. But I'd certainly put my hand up for a SdKfz 251 model with emplaced passengers.  :-bd :-bd :-bd

I have bought some 251 and some seated inf; I'll see what I can do from there.
I have noticed that the MG form the rear is missing.
I'm wondering about doing a pack of MG to add on the vehicles (as I have done on the Hetzer.)

I'd be interested to see it when you've done.

I don't bother with MGs on 10mm vehicles. Mine get transported to various venues and even in foam-lined boxes the MGs wouldn't last very long.  :'( :'( :'(

Give your infantry an extra MG & say that's where it went...

I use ordinary infantry shooting or pointing over the side to give an animated look.

The rear MG mount in the 251 I think was for the embarked infantry to use withtheir own MG if they wished to, therefore it is reasonable for them to be empty.

Yes Rob, it's the second gun in a Panzer Grenadier section.
