German 234 Heavy Armored Car GB 4/18/05 to 5/29/06

Stipp,

Is this waht you were looking for?? I was watching it but cant bid on it as scer16 has me bidding on a bunch of 234s. My luck I will either lose all of them or win them all and lose my shirt.

Here is the link… Hope it works. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5968655971&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

lol smokinprice
That kit isnt the same one I have, the suspension is different

scer16,

Whats different about it?? The suspension you say?? Interesting. Now I am very keen on getting it.

BTW, I am going to try and build all of them. Possibly with AM and PE parts. I am going to try it. What the heck. Although at this moment I still only have 234/1 and 2. So put me down for all 4. Like you, I want to have them done and all lined up with each other. Might have bitten off more than I can chew…

Thats what I’m thinking smokin.
The suspension on mine has 2 sets of wheels for the bottom, spoked and one return wheel (the mini one on top)

Nope! I have that one, the one im looking for is the one that Scer16 has, its based on a maultier chassis with the panzerwerfer on top like the one in the link.

I got it at a show for, I think, around $20
Its got its problems, just like any other Italeri kit
what do you guys think about the badge i designed? like it? dont like it?

Stipp,

First email we you get a chance. Second well I tried with the ebay link!!!

ps. scert16 could you send me the GB logo thanks[8D]

since no ones voiced objections, we have a new badge! yay! check the first post to get it

Hey All,

I was doing some research today for this build and came across some interesting info. Apparently the Puma’s development was protracted as it was intended for use in North Africa, but that campaign was over by the time tropicalizing the vehicle had been solved. The first vehicles served on the Eastern Front. Also there were only 101 turreted 234/2 Pumas built followed by similar numbers of 234/3s and 234/4s. Furthermore, the 234/1 design was standardized in 1943 and went into mass production that year. Only 2,000 total were built of all the 234 series.

I hope that helps somewhat. I know it did for me. Guess no Africa Korps colors since it wasnt even there.

panthera,

First [#welcome][#welcome][#welcome] Glad to have more. Second, as for the model, it has to be of the 234 series. You can do anyone of the 4 different variations there are but only that series car. Let scer16 know what you are doing when you get your kit as he is the man in charge.

Theres another one with buy it now of 13$ but shipping of 12$!!! its in Hong Kong
It looks like it comes with barrels and such, better than the Italeri kit. If only it wasnt 25$

Hey scer16,

Get a load of this…I believe it is the Italeri kit. One of the other members told us that in the Far East, Tamiya was the distributor for Italeri. Anyone else know if this is true???
