Vinnie, you are a building machine. When do you rest? Love the article. Very well written and detailed. Thanks for sharing. "Q"

Vinnie -

Total agreement here. Beautifully done build on 251 and a truly masterful review. Well written, detailed and easily followed. Thanks. You ought to consider combining your reviews in a book or some kind of pub. This would make one heck of a reference for us amateurs. Now I've got to go out and buy this puppy!

Well done Vinnie, good informative build up review. You're really putting a dent on those DML halftrack kits...

Frank

Thanks guys! I'm going to give a 251/7 a go next.

Vinnie

Another well written article Vinnie.

Hi Vinnie,
Excellent build! Glad you enjoyed it. I was a little worried that the ecthed shield might have been a little problematic.

Vinnie:

Another great build and an excellent article. You are a modelling machine. :-) Cant wait to build a 251

As always Vinnie, your reviews are written excellent, informative and filled with great detail. You are most definitely a building machine! Thanks!

Hi Vinnie, absolutely superb, but I am already itching to buy yet another 251 now once they get into the shops here.

I forsee another chastising from the wife.

Very nice article, and model Vinnie.

Thanks guys. Dan, thanks for working with Dragon to produce another brilliant 251! As for the etched shield, I thought I was going to have problems too, during the early stages, but if the instructions are followed carefully, then it lierally falls into place.....beautifully designed. Thanks again!

Vinnie

Beautifull, and I like that opened up toolbox.

Cheers
Henk

Yet another great model build from you Vinnie.

I read the article about the 250/16 flammpanzerwagen and bought one your myself and build it, will post it soon. But did not turn out as good as your master piece.

:-) :-)

Hi Vinnie,

very nice model and very interesting article! Really.

Only a question. Can you tell me your technique to make rivets... they're so realistic. In the article you spoke of Nutter and Small Shop, have you some pics or link??


Thanks
Tom

Fantastic build review, Vinnie. Excellent work, and a super step-by-step view of the assembly stages. Truly amazing, my friend.

I got these 2cm Schwebelafette halftrack kits in a few weeks ago, and I have considered getting one, but I think I will stick with the Dragon Sd Kfz 251/21 Ausf D Drilling I already have. Then again, seeing yours may change my mind !

You should have your own homepage, or website gallerie of all your work and reviews, if you dont already have one !

Thanks for posting

Cheers !!
