Colour scheme for Romanian SdKfz. 251Ausf.C

[KameradSchnürschuh]

Hello folks,

Could anybody of you tell me the right colour scheme for Romanian SdKfz. 251 Ausf.C, because I got finally Armourfasts Hanomags...

Exactly the same as a German one but with Romanian number plates.

[Ursulescu]

Including the German Cross, or did they use the King Michael Cross?

[Alexei2102]

Nope, German cross was erased.

FYI

Good to know. I'm trying out a new war game (New to me anyway) called "Rapid-fire". It uses 1/72nd scale figures. I'm going to field a romanian army using Hat figures and I'm trying to piece together my army.

Anyone know of any manufacturer that makes the Skoda R-2 tank in 1/72nd?

[King Arthur]

I only know R2's (Pzkpfw 35(t) actually ) and R1's from Attack Hobby Kits in 1/72nd scale.

See links below:

http://www.attack-hobby-kits.cz/72839.htm maybe can be converted to Tacam

There was also one like the above in the past from Esci/Ertl and Fujimi ( 1/76 scale )

Good luck!

Have fun!

And so I need to use Panzergrau also for the Romanian SdKfz.'s

ThanX King Arthur. I wonder if anyone has those tanks in North America or Canada that I can get easier. I'm a bit leery about sending money into countries that are so far away.

[King Arthur]

Mr Urslescu,

You can always try on ebay and use Paypal for payment what is quite safe....

[Ursulescu]

True.

Just watched Vlad VS Sun Tzu. Glad Vlad won...but the Romanian weapons, especially the Kilij were just brutal!

I thought the Halbred would have been too "Clumsy" compaired to the face ripping Zuai, because the Halbred has to come out of a guy, thus slowing down the weapon....but I was wrong.

Is there any where they pit Vlad against other historical warriors?

[King Arthur]

To KameradSchnürschuh:

I found this on internet, maybe it can help you and maybe somebody can tell if it's correct.

The last 3 pictures and description is about a Romanian model.

@King Arthur

Thank you very much for this information, after the Italeris Fast Assembly SdKfz's 251/1 Ausf. D are released I will also do some of these in Romanian colour scheme...

[Alanmccoubrey]

Ursulescu, Sorry I should have said to remove the German cross. I am glad to see a new RF player, do have a look at this forum, we play a game every summer with Colin Rumford umpiring.

This company makes figures and vehicles in the UK which you might find helpful,

And this one in the US, I use a mix of figures from both.
