This would have been worth a new thread.

As suggested by Pinky, we have created a new thread for the 250 Neu!

Post by: Pinky on March 30, 2016, 05:03:55 pm: To repeat, this kit looks like a winner, and the interior is particularly impressive.

It looks to me as though it's only the design of the crew figures which is slowing down the release of Rubicon's latest kits.

Indeed! The new crew addition had created chaos with our production schedule, we have to make sure the new
mould parts matched our digital sculpt designs plus finding adequate sprue space to fit these arms & bodies...

Post by: Rubicon Models on July 19, 2016, 03:33:08 pm: The long awaited SdKfz 250/1 Neu test sprues finally arrived at our studio!
The SdKfz 250/251 base kits will soon be completed with this final release.
Will test fit and paint it up for review soon...

Post by: Pinky on July 19, 2016, 09:57:26 pm: This looks great. One of my favourite German vehicles.

Only one point - you really don't need to include MG34s in these late war SPWs. The MG42 was standard by the time this (and the SdKfz 251 Ausf D) entered service.

All MGs on the sprue are MG42 except for the optional MG34 for the gunner. This
is because we have included two figures (besides the original driver) with this new
kit. The gunner when not in use, can be placed on the SdKfz 250/1 Alte with the
MG34 instead.

More flexibility for the modellers ;)

Post by: aphillathehun on September 05, 2016, 11:55:19 pm: Hi,

do you think this will be available by the end of this year?

I love the base vehicle and the mod sprues. Great idea!
