Scratch-building a nSd.Kfz.61 Radio Truck

It's been awhile since I built a model, life gets in the way. My last real project was my scratch-built Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf. A in the gallery ( http://www.track-link.net/gallery/1103 ) and that was several years ago. I had a great idea for a diorama of that with a radio truck so I decided to pick up where I had left off.

The Sd.Kfz.61 was built on several chassis including the Mercedes G3, Bussig-NAG G31, and Magirus M206. I decided to use the Magirus as the chassis because I have some pretty good references for it and I just like the look of that truck with its knobby tires. The M206 was a 1.5ton truck built from 1934 to 1937 with several different bodies including the Kfz.61. It served with the Wehrmacht at least through the beginning of the Barbarossa campaign. It had a 70hp 6 cylinder 4.5 ltr gasoline engine.I will try to make the model as accurately as possible however where references lack I reserve the right to take "SWAGS" (scientific wildass guesses) and use a little "Gizmology". I,ve started with my own scale drawings which I will include for your reference. Please note that not all the detail has been added to the drawings as I only needed to work out the basic dimensions.

Thanks,
Paul
