Hi, I looked for some pics and all of them have no markings on them. I even looked at some that people had previously built and they still had nothing.

Hope this helps,

Of the few that were fielded, my understanding is that they had little to no markings.

As a note. Help!!! is not a great post title. Most people will not even look at this type post. A better title will get you better results and makes it easier to use in a search function in case someone else is looking for “Wurfrahmen 40 markings?”, is a better, more usable title.

I have plenty of photos of “Howling Cows” fully festooned with markings, so don’t worry about it having to go into action naked. [;)]

But, without a image to look at, you’re going nowhere;

Although this is a Ausf D and does not have the rockets, this is the typical marking scheme for a SdKfz 251. Your model would be marked in the same (or similar) manner. The kit provides you with a pile of decals, pick a unit and a paint scheme, or have you painted this already? I don’t see that they provide you with any tactical markings, so I guess we won’t worry about that, unless you happen to have some? Those of an Armored Engineer Battalion would be the most appropriate. On an Ausf C, the divisional markings were sometimes placed on the forward facing panel of the armored air intake cowl on the engine hood, but not always.

Here is a really rare variant, an Ausf B with Wurfrahmen and the 3.7cm PAK “Door Knocker”;

Although the text is in Polish, there are a variety are markings visible on this page;

The last photo on this page is of an Ausf C, this particular image is rather washed-out, but on better copies of it, you can see the emblem of the 24th Panzer Div. on the engine cowl.

As Gino stated, choosing a title that actually addresses the question at hand will draw more responses. I generally only respond to “Help!!!” if I’m in a swimming pool…[;)]
