                        Cool! Thanks for the feedback.

                        I had been planning on picking up one of these, but maybe two or three would be better.

                        Enjoy your modeling...

                        Can you buy this kit yet and if so, where? I checked out Greatmodels and they are taking preorders only.

                        Thanks,

                        I'm going to hold out for the 251 that has the anti-tank gun mounted on it. I believe its the 251/22. I like the big-gunned halftracks and can't wait to add this one to the pile to build. Though these others do sound pretty interesting, too. Thanks for the heads-up.

                        The D has been out for a month or so. Great Models is showing it in stock at the moment. I picked one up a while ago, and I agree that it is an awesome kit. It's definately on my list to get at least one more. (Got to get more than one version built!!)

                        It's the 251 Ausf. C 3 in 1 that's still on preorder (as well as the 251 Ausf. D w/PAK 40.

                        At Great Models, the C, 3 in 1 D and the Command C have all been in and out of stock several times. The only one I've seen stay "in stock" has been the rivited version.

                        I've always liked half tracks. I built one of the Tamiya Hanomags years ago. All kinds of little pieces that have gone bye-bye over the years. Very basic model. I think it's still available. Just amazing what kits Tamiya never updates!

                        There is a review here for a close look at the kit.

                        I got this kit 3 weeks ago, as a raffle prize from my Club. The Ezy Tracks have two ejector pin marks on the face that will need to be filled. A Bummer, cause they are late model track links, not early pattern like the sprued set you also get. Just a warning, the driver don't fit without some amputation.

                        Overall not a bad kit, but the detail in the road wheels are a bit lacking....the AFV Club set will fix that.

                        I thought that the reason that Dragon made the driver out of the softer, flexible plastic is so you can squeeze him into his seat. Also, I wonder wichone is better, the AFV Club "D" or the Dragon..........................

                        Gee thanks!! now it looks like I have to go out an buy one (didn't even know it existed till I saw it at the forum here). Like I don't have enough kits to build already. But according to the review over 600 pieces sounds like it will keep me busy too.

                        I believe the AFV comes with rubberband tracks and costs much more.

                        This is a great kit ! Got it two weeks ago and decided not to waste the extra parts so I"m adapting the 7.5cm KwK37 to a tamiya 251D I've had laying around the swap is going excellent and I'll still be able to build the night fighting version next. As Erick would say ssssswwwwweeeeeett!
