German Sdkfz 252 WH001B on reconnaissance mission! (1 Viewer)

[Emanuel70]

Greetings all from cold Europe,
One of my favorite vehicles in my collection,the Thomas Gunn Sdkfz 252 winter version.
This time, not to supply a tank or an artillery unit, but somewhere in the Baltic States on a reconnaissance mission in the middle of an icy lake to explore if it's safe to be passed from infantry unit.
Crew is freezing ,thus hatches are closed this time

Hope you like this one...:salute::

Nice piece, Emanuel. Would look great in a snow scene with some figures.

As per ordered from WesternOutlaw :salute::

Sdkfz 252 this time has been ordered to carry ammunition to a couple of 75 mm Sturmartillerie batteries that pounding the suburbs of Leningrad.

The crew, attached this time the Sd. Anh. 32 Tarnung trailer for an extra load of 36 more rounds.
Slowly moving throw the snowing conditions and terrain, on their way to a bridge, after all, their 5.73 tonnage plus the trailer is not something not to pay the proper attention when passing such a Russian bridge...

Eamnuel70, you’ve got a great setup of a neat vehicle from Thomas Gunn! I got the Normandy camouflage version a few years back, thinking it would look good towing my TGM V1 Reichenberg model. I’ve attached a couple older pics of my SdKfz 250 from 2019:

Looking good, Emanuel. Setting is perfect.
Tman, I like that camo version as well. Cool scenes.

@tmanthegreat

Thank you, I saw also your work in the site with many dioramas, showing your great vehicles, measuring some also to help the guys find the right one for their figures.I like when you mix various makers with your tanks :salute::
Let me ask you, in Pic.No 2 you have a Country Honor crew member and a couple of Thomas Gunn Jackers, but the Officer with the visor cap is an unknown figure to me, what's the maker?

Also, do you remember the total number of Sdkfz 252 that Thomas Gunn had made? I read somewhere about 350 pieces, is that correct for all versions? ( Winter, Camo and Grey)
Thank you in advance for your time!
