Here are a couple of photos for size comparisons. As I have the Stug III and Panzer III that @Tim A. is building I included a hull for sizing.
The SdKfz 251 is longer than Tim's Panzer III, so this will end up being a BIG dio when done. Loving the detail on the Pak 40. I have only done a couple of minor mods on it not to add detail but to facilitate options for later.

That throwback Dew would be my monthly allowance of sugar!
Bit gun Paul, press on!

One of my old set piece cans. Can't really drink the stuff with fructose anymore. It does weird things to me, but the old can is a good "different" set piece for sizing.

I was fixing to ask where Paul got that can of Coke.

That gun is huge. I built a 40 inch long base for my Constitution model. You can have...haha.

I have had it for 15ish years along with several other interesting pop cans. As they are kind of universal, it helps to convey sizes of stuff. I know the Panzer hull did it for you.
Yeah, only just realized just how big it actually is when I assembled all the parts for this photo. It is actually so impressive with all the fine detail that I am quite impressed. One of the best kits I have had the pleasure of building.
Here is something that says a lot about the plastic on this kit.

OK Bob, you know I have to fix things that are just WRONG. I just HAD to find "something" to fix and here it is.
Ta-da
I will remove these two handles and rework them off the model. Have been way under the weather the last couple of days and stayed home from work today. Slept till 3 this afternoon, got up ate something, did some things I needed to do and crashed back out about 5:30. Finally woke up again about 10PM and actually feel almost normal for the first time in days.
This fix will commence before I start with the final paint and I have plenty of reference for the tire damage, all the way from just a little wear to chewed on like a well worn dog toy. Won't go that far, but they won't be like new that is for sure.

That's the only thing you found wrong? Wow, again these big scale kits really nail the details.

I found a three other minor things that need to be added in addition to fixing these. Once I started looking I couldn't stop. It's all on the legs and the breech had a minor blip that I saw and just fixed as I went along.
I knew it!
