Sd.Kfz 261, Sd.Kfz 223, Sd.Kfz 232,

27 Sep 2019

The Brittany Sd.Kfz 223 chassis has been completed and sent for stripping. It is due to be collected next week. The gearbox for the Sd.Kfz 223 is now fully stripped, the gears have been removed and the casing has been blasted in preparation for priming which will occur next week. The differential for the Brittany Sd.Kfz 223 is being disassembled by our apprentice Tom aided this week by the renowned stunt coordinator Jim Dowdall.The 261 chassis has progressed and should be completed next week.

Both doors for our Sd.Kfz 232 turret are now with us. They have been recorded and sent to our stores.

The roof of the main workshop is being replaced and fitted with new sheeting, guttering and insulation

We had a visit from the editor of Classic Military Vehicles and deputy editor of Britain at War this week and a number of photo ops and interviews were taken. 

The Sd.Kfz 261 chassis repair work is arduous and time consuming. The extent of corrosion on the front of the chassis is quite remarkable and is slowly being cut out and replaced with new material but with an emphasis on retaining as much of the original chassis steel and fittings as possible.
