No they are not wearing the M41 jacket they are wearing the M43 jacket. Your right about the leggings, As for the web gear they are wearing the M45 field pack with the butt pack extension you it's pretty easy to tell on the second figure.

So you going to release very late war with the M45 web gear which was fairly rarely seen during the war. well at least they would be useful for Korea

Best to forget the mohawk hair cut. It was only done by a few pathfinder troopers.

" Of course, anything is possible given the Germans' need to improvise."

Not really the Germans were limited by reality just like everybody else. The track system added to the Opel Blitz to make the Maultier was less robust that the original wheels which meat the Maultier couldn't carry as umch weight as the Blitz.

The Maultier never carried the Flakfierling 38 it was to heavy for the Maultier.

@Pinky can't do two s50/9s the box has parts for one 250/9 and one 251/23

@ripley I already know abut and have ordered from NWS. You don't seem to get the point no matter the actual price I would have t pay a premium in order to have a 250/9 by having to buy two kits in order to make one model.

From the Rubicon US website $29 for the 250 and the price f previous expansion kits is $16 so I assume the new kit will be the same s $29 + $16 = $45. I would rather pay the $29 for a straight SDKFZ250/9 than have to pay extra paying for a additional kit that has a bunch of parts I don't need.

So if I just want a SDKFZ250/9 it'll cost me $45? At that price I think I'll be looking elsewhere.

After looking a little closer at the figures labeled as wearing the M1936 pack I now realize that they are in reality wearing the M45 pack not the M1936.

The second figure isn't wearing a M1928 pack, it's the M1928 without the tent half extension. On the figures with the M936 pack, more commonly called musette bag, it looks much to big to me. on the last figure the late model E-tool is backwards you should be able to see the closing flap and although it certainly could be attached to the pack it almost never was the belt being the preferred place for it.

I feel for the same thing, bought the Sherman kit. Even though it was more expensive than other kits, I thought it would be worth it to get two useable turrets. The kit description make it seem the you get two complete turrets. Another problem is the 76mm turret is not a good representation. The turret overhang is too square but the real problem is at the front of the turret. there is a huge gap between the back of the gun mantlet and the front of the turret when assembled and the mantlet is lightly slopped forward instead of perpendicular as it should be. I was very disappointed as the 76mm version is what I really needed.
