I just would like to get my hands on some Sd.Kfz.s 251 like the Kfz 251/20 Uhu and Falke, the Sd.Kfz. 251/17 Flak "Luftwaffe Version" and the Sd.Kfz. 251 "Pritsche".
Cheers
Giuseppe

Some cool versions of the 251 there . Probably not much chance of them getting made in plastic IMO , too niche . Maybe one of the resin companies might have some of them in their product line ( JTFM ) ? IRC , Company B made the night vision bits for a Panther conversion , so they might work on the 251 . And the cargo version could probably be an easy kit bash with a good razor saw and plastic sheet . Warlord has a 20mm on a pedestal mount in their IRC Hetzer kit but figuring out those drop side panel angles would drive you crazy if you kit bashed it . Rubicon's detail sets for the 250/251 are a good jump off point for a lot of great kit bashes , with the 20mm gun turret set , short 75mm Stummel kit and command radio sets , let the creative juices flow

I remember Warlord did the Owl and the Falcon in resin.
Resin versions might be an interesting project for Rubicon trainees.

Would it be better to have them as full resin kits or as resin blister pack to add to a plastic 251 kit ?

I agree with ripley. These area bit niche.
Yes, it would be a nice extra, but to be honest, I would hope Rubicon Models uses their time and resources to work on the few more common items that gamers would really like to see released in plastic. Have a look at the link below:

Also, I'm pretty sure they will sell more M3 Grants/Less than the Sd.Kfz. 251/17 Flak "Luftwaffe Version", the Sd.Kfz. 251 "Pritsche", SdKfz 251/20 Uhu and Falke combined. So it wouldn't be in RM best interests until maybe later when they have the extra time and resources to do so.
