Hey everyone, I stopped at a yard sale today and found something interesting. I am a collector of vintage toys, and pick them up when ever possible. Today I found a die cast SD.KFZ251/1 in about 1/50th scale. It is made by a french company called Solido. It is missing its two MG's but other than that it is in excellent shape. It has a white paint job with no markings. I have googled it and found several examples in German three color camo but no winter schemes. Besides what little info I have found on the WWW can anyone here tell me any more about it? Rarity, age and mabye anywhere to find replacement MG's. Also curious if it has any value, if not I plan to strip the paint and give it a proper paint job and display it. Thanks in advance for any info. Also I will upload pics when I locate my pesky little disapearing camera.
