Like most gamers I know we manage to over buy models. Being one that can't find where I put a box of tank, troop and etc. I just buy more....
This seems to have been the case with Zevzda Sdfk 222. We all know there little gems are real bear to put together. Well a bolt of lighting hit me, why not make conversion using the SDFK 222 turret and PCS 251 half track. The conversion from start to finish took about 45 minutes. I wish a lot more projects would be this easy....
Now for the eye candy so to speak.
Laying out the turret position was easy. After glue the new top plate. I made a line by centering on the front and rear MG mounting holes. Next using the photo I found on line the front of turret just barely touches the front of the drivers cab.
Next step was to drill a hole in the top plate. Make sure you use a thick piece of styrene for the top. other wise you will crush the top plate.
A quick paint job. Using Tamiya paints. There is some work to still be done. Need to put a few more decals on, some weathering and equipment to be hung off the sides.
If you have any questions or comments please post them.. Enjoy... HMMM maybe a 75mm pak in the future... ;)
That is a beauty!!!!
