(In my best Used Car Salesman voice) ...

"Oh, I see you are looking at our latest and greatest, the Sd.Kfz 10. Good choice there soldier. You got stuff to tow?  Why, this baby was designed to tow a wide variety of packages. You've got your 2cm FlaK 30 (.5 ton), 2cm Flak 38 (.5 ton), 3.7cm Pak 36 AT gun (.6 ton), 5cm Pak 38 AT gun (1 ton), and the 7.5cm le.IG 18 light infantry gun (.6 ton).

You wanna tow trailers? This baby has you covered.  It can tow a number of different models, including the Sd. Ah 32 (.8 ton) and Sd. Ah 51.

Of course, your D7 here is the base model. First model rolled off the assembly lines back in October 1938. And I have it on good authority they will still be cranking out these little gems up until November 1944.  How many other utility vehicles can say that?

But don't let the "utility" tag get you thinkin' this is just your basic towing vehicle. You wanna put the hurt on your opposing forces?  We've got you covered for that as well.

Step over here to the 10/4. This little jewel has a fold down platform on the back, and is fitted to carry a 2cm Flak 30. A devastating weapon against planes in the sky, and soft targets on the ground. And if you wanna drop of that gun and send the vehicle elsewhere, you can do that too.

Not enough firepower for ya?  Over here we have the 10/5. The 2cm Flak 38 has a far superior rate of fire. Of course, you will go through your ammo much faster as well, but if you pick up our optional ammo trailer for just a few Deutchmarks more, you will have plenty!

Not interested in flak guns?  Looking for something a bit more suited to take on opposing armour?  Why, there are customized versions of these puppy's with some sweet anti-tank guns mounted on the back.

But those are custom jobs. As a base unit, there is the D7, the 10/3 and the 10/5.  We had some earlier versions, one for chemical detection, one for chemical decontamination, and one for chemical dispersal, but those older models never saw much service. They were retooled at the factory, and turned into regular versions (or in rare cases, ammo haulers).

Speaking of the D7, there were several major upgrades that occurred during production, so shall I put you down for the early model?  Or would you like the one reinforced for heavier towed loads?

Options?  Of course there are options. Want your carbines out in the weather, or nestled in these nice fender protectors?  You want the early or the later wheel pattern?  We even have an optional air compression braking system, if you plan to haul heavy gear and need a little extra help coming to a complete halt.

Armour plates? Yep, we have a custom package for the front end, so you can face off against your enemies and shrug off their small arms fire.

Our earlier models come with ramps to make it easy to take that flak gun on and off again. Later models they did away with that to save weight. But the choice is yours?

I know, I know. Quite a few decisions to make. I am here to tell you soldier, this could be a sweet, sweet bundle. A nice "kit" if you will. Capable of covering a wide variety of needs. Depending on the sprue count (I discuss that with you later), this kit could cover anywhere from 1 to 6 base models, and different road wheels and reinforced hulls and platforms for different flak guns. Could be a real winner"

Well done EWG!
I thought you were going to start a new thread about the SdKfz 10.
This would have made for a great first post on that thread.

Maybe Rubicon Models has already been working on the SdKfz 10 plastic model kit in secret because they don't want anyone else to steal the idea. Also, they want to really surprise us and announce that they will be releasing their SdKfz 10 plastic kit this year thereby nullifying all the numerous requests for the SdKfz 10.  :o

No, I don't think so because they do benefit our feedback on future releases.
Just sort of a SdKfz 10 subliminal messaging stunt on my part.

Looks like you may have to do another run of Higgins boats then...what was that under week to sold out?  ;D  Think the question about whether it would be popular  or not  has been answered.
