Yo fellow modelers, i have a question. My Hobby shop nearby doesnt have any SdKfz 251/1 troop carriers, simply troop carriers with 2 MG 42 guns. Instead they have the Tamiya Stuka Zu Fuss, but i need the troop carrier, can i after assembly of the main vehicle, ignore the rocket assembly and simply not install it to covert it to a troop carrier? Will that do or do i have a complication?

Volkov,

I think you would be much better off ordering one of the new DML 3 in 1 series German halftracks. Would probably cost you about the same and be a lot less hassle. I don't have the "Stuka zu Fuss" kit so I cannot comment about whether or not it comes with the bench seats, rifle racks, etc. you would need to have to turn this into the troop carrier version.

Thanks for the link, but i cant order anything and i already bought the kit.

VladVolkov i had built the tamiya zu fuss, and, yes i think you can leave the rockets and launching crates to get a basic 251D... i dont think there'll be any problem

There are a couple of stakes on the front fenders for aiming the rockets they would need removal too.
but other then that nothings stopping you.

Yeah thats what i noticed while reading the instructions, just forget about the aiming rods and the missile crates. Get some sprues and build launch pad for them to make a separate kit.
