CharleyGnarlyP290 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Howdy all. I have a question about aftermarket stuff for a Tamiya 1/35 Sdkfz 251/9 Ausf D. I have tracks lined up ,but don't know what to get to improve the detail of the kit. The only thing I can find specifically for this vehicle is a Verlinden set that has some photo etch and stowage type stuff. Other than that all I can find for Tamiya kits are other versions, i.e., 251/1, 251/7 and what not. So my questions are these: anybody have experience with the Verlinden set? and; will the other version stuff work for a 251/9 as long as it is the Ausf D? My knowledge of these vehicles is severely limited, so any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I think just about any aftermarket set stipulated as 251 (without the slash designation) and Ausf. D would work, or at least most of it. The variant designation, such as /9, indicates the type of weapon or equipment it carried, while the 'D' version is the body type - in this case the style came out in 1943. Check out the goodies here: https://www.scalemates.com/search-solr.php?fkSECTION[]=All&q=251+ausf.D# Looks like you have some choices: Airwaves, PART, Eduard, and Voyager all have dedicated sets for your Tamiya kit. regards, Jack Edited October 21, 2016 by JackG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyGnarlyP290 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thanks for the response JackG. I think I may go with the Verlinden set. The PE I can use now and keep the stowage stuff for a later project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
