They look great.

For wording I might have gone for "highly detailed gun assembly and hull interior".

Enjoy!

Excellent.

They both look terrific.  "Greif" is perfect.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, there are several options available with this kit, including fitting the frame antenna to the SdKfz 253.  It's worth mentioning them when you're marketing it - for example, explaining the purpose of the mast antenna.  It's a shame you didn't include parts for the late version of the SdKfz 251 Ausf D, which had a 'star' antenna (but not the extendable mast included in your kit).  The frame antenna was rare on the Ausf D (in fact I don't think the Ausf D was built in the factory with a frame antenna).

That's true, had overlook that in the description.

We have included parts in the sprue but not build an Ausf D version as a painted sample due to limited test sprues available.

That's very true!

That's great - I couldn't see it on the sprue photos, but hoped it was there.  Really looking forward to this one!

Wow, you've made it a 3-in-1!  Nice idea combining the Alte and Neu SdKfz 250/9.  The detail on the gun and turret is superb - especially the grenade mesh.

The SdKfz 251 version seems unnecessary, but I guess you wanted to fill the sprue (a couple of figures would have been more useful, IMO).  Where is the figure that's mentioned in the caption?

The 251 version is simply a top plate that closed off the 251D open top.  Great for WLG's Konflict 47 or similar games!

There are two figures that come with this expansion set, supplied separately!

Just AWESOME ! Any idea when these sets will hit the shops ?

Definitely this year!  We are still fine tuning the moulds to give best result.
Plus we are still waiting for the figures to get done!

Released this year , great . Now I need to pick up 3 BA plastic Pumas , so I can convert them to a 234/1 , 3 & 4 using the 250/8 , 250/9 and 251/22 D kits  . Know anyone who might want a Puma turret or two ? I love this model company 

[ultravanillasmurf]

anyone who might want a Puma turret or two ?

Possibly anyone who is building a VK1602 Leopard?

@Pinky - This is for you!


Enjoy!
