Sd.Kfz 251 front under suspensionarmour

Recommended Posts

I'm modeling the Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz 251/17 Ausf.C and have added the front underside suspension armour which is optional.   Normally, without that additional armour, the end of the front suspension wishbone goes into a cavity under the vehicle hull.  In the instructions, the end of that wishbone is attached to surface of that additional armour.

Does anyone have a photo reference of this on a real Sd.Kfz 251?

Can't help directly, but try googling "sdkfz 251 restoration"

That lead me to this site: http://www.sdkfz251.com/ which has lots of SdKfz 251 images

p.s. pages iii and  iv have images of a restoration in progress

Excellent resource!  Thanks, it will be helpful anyway.

Does this help?  In reality it bolts to the rear engine cross member which is a sort of I beam shape.

Additional photo....thousand words and all that but you can see how it's attached at the rear.
