Sd.Kfz.247 ausf.B 1/35 ICM

[Сергей Никитин]

Good day, fellow hobbyists.

For the review, I present to you a new kit of the last months of 2020 from ICM and the first model completed this year by me.

Armored car Sd. Kfz. 247 ausf. B
Produced in 1941-1942 in a small series (58 units) at the Daimler-Benz plant, this armored car is little known.

Chassis similar to the sd.kfz.221, but with a different engine layout.
Horch V-8 - 108 engine with 81 hp
No weapons.

It was used in the headquarters of the motorcycle rifle battalion of the Wehrmacht tank divisions, until in 1942-43 it was replaced by the heavy armored communication vehicle Sd. Kfz. 263.

The model itself, as always recently with ICM, is good.
A good study of the interior, the engine(which is still not visible).
Everything fits together well.
In the end, he simply and without problems gathered.
The saddest thing is the wheels. Rubber from ICM, although it looks good, but it is difficult to clean.

A set of soldiers also gathered without problems. The only caveat - the driver's hands well, did not want to fall on the steering wheel. Although this, again, is not visible from any angle

Improvements at a minimum.
I replaced the native dimensions with meth. tubes, modified the mirror, made the front grille.
I hung wires to the radio, made wires to the radio operator's headphones.

 

The main color is Tamiya XF-24
Oils and pigments from different manufacturers

Thank you for your attention, enjoy watching)

Nice clean model of an interesting vehicle. It somehow looks more modern than the other vehicles of the day.

Cheers,

I liked everything. As for the tires I agree with you. Rubber is bad, difficult to clean. Manufacturers had to make plastic tires, after all these models are not motorized .....
