No, I have stupid fingers. I just slapped them around for it. Hate to punish them like that though, hurts me as much as it does them.

Re: Sd.Kfz. 251


An SdKfz.251/7 towing what appears to be a 2.8 tapered bore anti-tank gun, but on a 2cm flak tailer.
Can that actually be the case?

Re: Sd.Kfz. 251
Somewhere I have a shot of one of those in pretty good shape. I'll have to hunt it down.

Speaking from a modeler POV; I tried to scratchbuild a trailer for my Sdkfz 251/7C using the frame for a 2cm flak trlr and the pintle/clevice height between the vehicle and trailer prevented this. The trlr pintle is much too high for the clevice on the 251. Even 'Jerry-Rigging' couldn't make this happen.

BTW: Does anyone know how the turn-signals on the halftrack work? They are the vertical bars mounted just behind the engine intake bulges.
