I am thinking of changing the 250 halftrack to the one with the turret. I can get a turret in photo etch {or us the photo etch on a 222 and save the turret} but I need the main gun. the Machine gun is no problem but anyone know where I can snag the main gun without pitching the entire 222 kit?

I think I can snag the seating from another GREIF {make a ammo hauler} so I won't have the radios in the track, and save them for some other project

Why don't you do like I will do...take the guns from one of the 222's and convert that 222 into a 221 (single MG only) or a radio version 223 (again only a single MG). Once the plates are overlaid on the top of the 250, you won't see much inside if you keep the hatches closed.

yeah, that sounds like a plan, I also found an interior of the 250/9 and the right side is ammo not a bench seat so I don't need that either :>)

there's barely enough room for the gun mount and crew. There is no way to avoid using the gun mount from the ICM/Tamiya SdKfz 222 a/car, unless you want to scratchbuild one. Despite some glitches and a less than sterling level of accuracy, the ICM '222 has some details and assemblies that are as good as the 1/3 Tamiya kit. The gun mount overall can be detailed a bit and look very good, but you do have to have one. I'm converting most of the ICM kits I have (6), so I'll have 3-4 surplus mounts eventually. The SdKfz 260/261 light radio cars don't have turrets, just raised roof frames with screening, so they are somewhat easier to convert.
