Hi all,

I just received my latest purchase in the post, the ADV Azimut conversion to build the 250/9. Looks good, not as comprehensive as the Panzerwerfer which I just finished, but still well worth the effort I feel.
However, this kit does not contain the base kit parts, such as the running gear, engine compartment and driver compartment so I'll be looking for a cheap Tamiya 250 or Italeri Demag kit soon.

Does anybody have any links to any info on the 250/9 Neu, especially the interior.

Thanks

Henk

Henk -

Sounds like another great project. If it comes out anywhere near as well as your Panzerwerfer, it will be outstanding. Don't have anything on the links to any info on the 250/9 Neu, but might have a solution on your need for parts. I have an extra Tamiya 250 (got a 250/3 "Greif" and 250/9 off "ebay" for less than one kit price). If one of these would work, send me a PM with your address and I'll send it to you. You'll be helping me decide what will be the companion to go with my Puma for the "Spahwagen" Campaign.

That's a fine picture Jared, it gives me a good idea of the internal lay-out. Thanks

Mike, thank you for your offer, check your PM..

Cheers

Hey, I'm working on a Dragon 250/9 neu at the moment myself. I know that it's a pain to find some good reference shots of the vehicle, especially of the intierior. I would recommend the Aber set, as it gives a good idea of what the interior should be like. Actually, you can see the instructions online if you don't want to get the set.
