Default Czech OT810 converted to Sdkfz 251D

This half track was converted over a number of years by a friend of mine. I think this is the best conversion I have ever seen? (Note the rubber blocks on the tracks, re angled front armour glasis plate etc.) The work is even more remarkable given he did the work just from photos and books.

This is my favourite German vehicle.

Cheers, Ade.

That is right, so many are now converted that they are getting hard to find in untouched condition.

Cheers, Ade.
