People (hmm...) will eventually complain!  So why not take the initiative, spent some extra time, and do it right the first time?

"People"?

It all looks excellent.  Presumably there will be another sprue with pieces for the SdKfz 250/7 and /9 - which (with crew) would probably take up about the same amount of space.

Very few of the SDFZ 250/8 Alte were made the /8 was mainly a Neu variant.

From a Rubicon post on page 1 of this thread:

"BTW, we will definitely not doing a SdKfz 250/8 (with the 7.5cm KwK 37 L/24 gun) on an Alte variant!"

We know.  No matter it is a 250/8 Alte or Neu, the difference is the side armour plate design.  Will probably only do the Neu version anyway.

If you are talking about the SdKfz 250/8 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen (with a 7.5cm KwK 37 L/24 gun and an MG 34), it is only available on the Neu version. 
There were a few prototypes being made on the Alte, but not in production volume. 
We will definitely do one if we are going to do a SdKfz 250/1 Neu later on!

Previously shown components of the SdKfz 250 Expansion Sets are now fitted onto a TS2 plastic SdKfz 250 Alte for preview purposes:

























Enjoy!

Awesome - shaping up to be your best kit yet.

The radio in the SdKfz 250/3 might be sitting a bit low.  That's my only comment.

So was it only me who thought "Good Greif"?

They look really good.

Good things always come during the weekend!  More 250 goodness... how could we left out the Neu version?









Enjoy!

Probably my favourite German half-track.  Great to see it's in the works!

Fantastic - this and the /9 are the coolest variants.  Are you going to provide the ammo stowage as well, or just the gun?
