After courageously minor parts were dropped, the front axle is done.
Upgrading the front wheel to be steerable was fun.

Hello Seo,
I remember these hinges being complicated in a Tamiya plastic model kid I build as a boy - in paper/wire = much more scary.
You did a fabulous job on them, I guess they didn´t shut more closely on a real vehicle !
Could you explain to which end you used the yellow paper (post-it?), I did not quite get the process.
Kind regards

Thank you so much for your kind encouragement.
Yes, it is a piece of Post-it. A sticky end side.
I put a hinge to the main body first and liked to glue it to a door that was closed. Initially I liked to use a masking tape but I didn't have one. So I improvised Post-it to hold the door at a closed position.
I did have a plastic model too. I guess it was a Tamiya licenced model, 'Hanomag'. I still remember that it was very difficult to glue a hinge to a back door. I was so frustrated. But at the end, it was done and I loved the model. To me, SdKfz 251 has been 'Hanomag' Recently I learned the meaning of SdKfz and Hanomag.

The work for windows? and headlight.

Not much progress was made.
Major building operations were done and minor decoration parts were added here and there.
More than 95% is done. I hope I could finish it in this week.
And then I will move on Sd.Kfz. 7/1.

I estimated one week to wrap up the Sd.Kfz 251.
Maybe I was wrong.
Even a pickaxe took more time than I expected.
I still have a hammer, an axe, a shovel to build....
-
The work for an axe.
-
The work for a sledgehammer.

Hello Seo,
nice toolset!
The sledgehammer looks very realistic!
Also the axe and the pickaxe!
Great work!

Renee,
Thank you very much for your kind encouragement. I had totally underestimated GPM models. They are delicate with a few errors. I am glad to choose a Hanomag as my first vehicle model.

Wiwo,
Thank you so much for your kind encouragement. Instead of making completely new tools, I decided to upgrade current tools in the GPM original SdKfz design. The Dremel workstation helps me on tool upgrade.

Joon,
Thank you very much for your kind encouragement.
The work is almost done with a day work left.
I could finish it tomorrow or Thursday.
And then I will move on to Sd.Kfz 7/2 (or 7/1) to tune up the skill that I have learned from Sd.Kfz 251.
Your mustang needs to wait more. Sorry
