Abandoned SdKfz 222

[Heavens Eagle]

This has been sitting fallow on my bench for several months. I just realized it is perfect for the "DAK with Doc" as it is a true Afrika Corp vehicle.

A little while back I picked up the Hobby Boss 222 vehicle and found it fairly amazing how close my rework is to what they have in that kit, especially the gun mount mods I have been doing. Shows just how poor the old Tamiya kit was.

So time to resurrect this and try again to finish it.

As a reminder, here was the start up.

Bob, could you please migrate this over to the "Dak with Doc" forum?

Yeah I modded the suspension on the kit to match the photo. It was a little tricky and still will have to play some more games with the tie rod system due to how it is made.

There were also 2 different suspension/ shock absorber types on these as well. One type had a bunch of lever shocks and the other had straight oleo types in the center of the coil springs.

The Oleo strut version

The lever shock version.
