A single plastic sprue with two 250/251 variants. A "mix and match" approach
to yield four possible configurations plus a dismounted weapon team!  The
SdKfz 251/7 is a completely new design different from our existing 280019
kit to give you more choices and customisation!














Enjoy!
;)

I really like the engineer version.  The ammo boxes are nice too.

Another single plastic sprue to make two more 250/251 variants,
plus a dismounted 81mm mortar team (not shown)!












Enjoy!

Very good. My only comment is that the solid barrel is more obvious on the mortars due to the angle. YMMV ^___^

We are aware of that, it will be up to you guys to make it looks better!   ;D

nothing a little bit of careful drilling can't fix

Looking good.  Again, the fact that you're providing enough parts for 2 vehicles on one sprue is a good move.

The interior of the SdKfz 250/7 is a bit sparse.  It looked like this:

I really don't see how Rubicon could supply all the interior crew kit for all their  vehicles .  Even the 1/35 companies don't do that , you have to get after market resin bits , usually small bits for big money  :) Besides , I think once you add a 2 or 3 man crew , you won't see anything is missing . I guess you could pick up 2 sets for extra parts or maybe cast some in resin or have a look for some HO scale model rail road bits & pieces

All that's really needed is the ammo containers behind the mortar, which could be done in one piece.  Rubicon set themselves a high standard with the level of interior detail on the basic SdKfz 250, so it's actually more noticable when this kind of detail is missing!
