Spectacular!
A SdKfz 10/4 towing an SdAh 51 Ammo trailer will be a fantastic build.

Warlord Games is about to release a new 1/56th scale metal and resin SdKfz.10 kit, and it is planned to be available in November.

Considering that the SdKfz.10 participated throughout WW2 from 1939 to 1945 and saw extensive use in the invasion of Poland, invasion of France, Italy, North Africa, Russian front, and basically everywhere the German Army went, I’m surprised it took so long for a 1/56th scale SdKfz.10 to reach the gaming tables.

That being said, I am still waiting (over a year now) for Rubicon Models to release their 1/56th scale SdKfz.10 plastic model kit. Not only would I prefer the SdKfz.10 in a plastic kit, but I’m pretty sure Rubicon Models' SdKfz.10 will be far superior than the Warlord Games metal and resin kit.

Just wished that Rubicon Models didn't wait so long to release their SdKfz.10 giving time for Warlord Games (or anyone else for that matter) to pull this type of stunt.

@Tracks, thanks for the news.  We are aware of this as well.  Unfortunately, our SdKfz 10 sprues are still in mould making being worked on minor fixes and refinement.  The scheduled release date is early next year.

Recent world event has made production extremely inconvenient as we are not able to travel between our studio and factory.  A lot of follow-ups and quality control procedures had to be done through speed courier and the internet... not a very good solution at all.

@Rubicon ... your Sd.Kfz 10 is SO MUCH BETTER than the Warlord Games version, any gamer who has waited this long to get one can just wait a bit longer. Your kit has many more options when it comes to the build, and many more details too.

Rubicon: Tilt down, tilt up, tilt up with side panels as well - Warlord NO
Rubicon: Replace rear area with platform to support AA gun - Warlord NO
Rubicon: With and without ramp panels on front bumper - Warlord NO

And this is just off the top of my head. I am sure there are other details that make hte Rubicon kit so much better.

I just want to say that I appreciate Rubicon's kits immensely, and they wouldn't be the same if not for the time and effort that goes into them. There are a lot of kits on the horizon that I'm really excited for, and it sucks that the situation this year has made things difficult, but I trust that Rubicon are working as hard as they can on them.

@Rubicon - After building many Rubicon Models kits, there is no doubt in my mind that your SdKfz.10 plastic model kit will be a wonderful little kit, and one well worth waiting for. However, I will not be surprised that Warlord Games' resin and metal kit will steal a few of the sales because it will be released first. Also, to be completely honest, here in Thailand it is a lot easier to get Warlord Games kits than Rubicon Models kits. That being said, I'm holding out for your SdKfz.10 plastic model kit. I even have an extra Rubicon Models Pak38 kit that I might use to make one of those SdKfz.10 field conversions.
