Album info This will be my first build log in a photo album. I am using the older Tamiya kit # 35147, the Sd.Kfz.251/9 so-called "Kanonenwagen". In addition I am using bits of the Eduard PE set for the 251/1, and the AFV club "Whells and Tracks". (someone should really get an English proofreader! - AFV I am talkin' to you!). I also have a few little bits and bobs from the spares box like some Dragon halftrack bits, a few US jerrycans as well as some German ones, and a couple of tools from the Italeri workshop set.
