This Halftrack is a Schutzenpanzerwagen Sd.Kfz. 251, I suppose. The 250 has a nother flank-layout, not that straight line. It could be 251/22 with 7,5 cm Pak 40 (anti-tank-cannon) front of the fender seems not to be correct. :-)) der krusche |

This one is faking a Sd.Kfz.251/22, Ausf.D. It actually is the post war Czech built Bohemia OT 810. |

this vehicle was supplied by Steve Lamonby from his UK prop collection, its a postwar OT with a fake gun...the vehicle was found originaly in Czechoslovakia. an instant identification feature which makes the OT different from the wartime German halftrack is all OT halftracks have all steel tracks whereas the wartime halftracks have rubber blocked steel tracks..also in this picture the Ot retains its pistol ports in the armour sides....when in production all OTs had a full steel roof...they were never open topped like the wartime halftrack.....when the reenactors and film companies get hold of them they gas axe off the steel roof then plate over the pistol ports...sometimes tho they forget to..just like in this picture...also the Ot does not have side lockers whereas the wartime halftrack does...in all cases most OTs which end up in private hands will not have lockers fitted..as they are too complicated to reproduce.....so even tho these OTs are painted as Ww2 german vehicles a casual glance at both the tracks and the abscence of side lockers will instantly tell you that its an OT..even if the pistol ports have been plated over. sound wise, all Ots have a diesel engine, another giveaway UPDATE 2015...the vehicle, still in ownership of Steve lamonby has been put up for sale on milweb (as of april 2015),asking price £26,000 -- Last edit: 2015-04-03 12:36:37 |
