I am building the old Tamiya Hanomag Sdkfz 251/1 kit and I have run into a snag.

I am working on step 11 and I can't seem to figure out exactly how part A34 is supposed to be attached. I have dry fitted it several ways and none of them seem to be correct. Could someone please show me a picture of a finished kit showing the proper position or explain how it is supposed to go? I have looked at photographs of the real thing but they haven't been much help.



Yeahwiggie I am looking your way!

Thanks a bunch.

several images there.
I have this kit too, but have not built it yet. I'll look at it and get back to you here unless someone else does first.

From the inside perspective, like the instructions.
The part just drops in.


Final position.
note: the unshaven sprue connection.

hope to helps

Thank you KoSprueOne,

That was just what I needed. I guess I was fitting it right all along. It just didn't look right to me.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.

sure, no prob.
hmm.. looks like from the image above, this builder glued it to the outside. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like it.

that post helped me a lot. Thanks guys! I really enjoy this forum!

I am glad that one of my old posts was of some help to you Timothy.
