I'm a sucker for these (mostly) colorful artistic interpretations of reality. I've only scanned the line drawing of Mr. Bruce Culver. And the only one I copied myself from the Internet is the Krupp look-alike from the website of the talented illustrator Vincent Bouguignion. The rest I found scattered on the Internet over the last decade. The aim of this sheet is triple: to document them and to credit the maker or the (book)source and to compare the information.

Clean cut	SdKfz 251 /D /1	The source is:	www.tankclub.agava.ru	art.sky-sea.net, Mr Takagi

From a game (which?) a 251 /B /1 with a droopy bumper.	This 251 /C /1 Riveted is said to be from a game, though to me it looks like a small scale model. (who knows?)	These marvelous drawings must have come from a 3D design program.	My guess is Yahoo's Sketchup. A crisp well detailed 251 /C /1. Love to hear who did this huge job!


I'm a big fan of this great artist.	These four drawings where first published in Military modelling annual II (published somewhere around 1985)	My copy of it has completely disintegrated.	It's based on the Aberdeen period of the Austin /C /Riv survivor
