Replica German Armored Car Plans

[Bob Cohoon]

I saw something on the internet which may help.There is an outfit which has done a 3D model of this car and they sell some kind of download of the drawing. Maybe this would help http://gunpoint-3d.com/model-Sdkfz222.html It is a complicated shape ,not easy to do.Another way is simply buy a Tamiya or Dragon Sdkfz 222 model in 1/35, assemble it, then very carefully measure it and then scale this up. Maybe you can do an actual floor, side walls,upper small side walls, then a partial top ,the correct width, then start using plywood to develop the templates for the rest. It`s a tricky shape

Thankyou Bob, much appreciated

It may be worth spending the $35 and downloading the high res graphics of the vehicle. It would certainly give me a good idea of detail etc.

The model suggestion also has merit. I will have to check out what models are available . Using the scaled up measurements and building a plywood mockup sounds like it may be the way to go.

Lots to think about on this one.
