Sdkfz 251/8 ambulance

Sdkfz 251/8 ambulance

Based loosely on a photo from Squadron/Signal No21 - Sdkfz 251 in action which claims to be a 251/8 attached to schwere Panzerabteilung 501 in Tunisia. Now I`ve found not other evidence of this, but I haven`t found written evidence of the Panzer Pioneer vehicle with the AAMGs I did a few weeks back (and there is a photo of this vehicle). So I decided to do one -
Matchbox 251B with added stowage and new S&S Models tarpaulin painted to suit -
Note the 501st battalion insignia




An attempt at detailing with the medics helmet and medical bag

  1. Nice work- medical care and treatment of wounded is something over looked in most games.

    Cheers,

  2. I have a De Agostini di-cast Opel ambulance on the way from Ebay (£5 bargin) and I`m planning a Kubel ambulance too (all for different units).
