It's not a 222, 223 or 260 because the rear plate is virtually square while with the others that plate is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The front plate appears wider at the top than at the bottom so it is definitely more like a 221 as the others have front plates that are the opposite.

It's indeed supposed to be an SdKfz221, sorely lacking in Braille Scale so far.

@Rob_Haelterman – Rob,

Nice of your to drop by, hoping to see some more of your work here soon. Are you planning on scratch making this vehicle? Also, what drawing program are you using? Any information would be much appreciated.

@ Eddy. The first stage will be to have a test kit printed on a 3D printer, to check for fit, and discover glaring errors. Then I'll have to work the finances out to know if it will be offered as full kit or a conversion kit and in resin or as an injection kit. Although it is a private venture, much will depend on possible co-operation with existing manufacturers.
If it catches on, the next one will be the SdKfz247.

I'm using Sketchup to draw this SdKfz221 in 3D.
