AFV Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.C Review

Posted by zokissima on Wednesday, November 10, 2004 5:16 PM

Just thought some of you here would like a look into the box:

It sounds like a perfect 251 kit, but I'm afraid of the price. I don't have a single variant myself yet, but I might have to settle for one of the Dragon releases.

No indy tracks, that would give Dragon my hard earned.

Not to mention the fact that it's fairly likely the Dragon offerings are cheaper.

What is the quality of the Dragon kits like? Is it one of their lemons? Indies or no indies, a bad Dragon kit isn't worth it to me.

I just got AFV's Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf. D yesterday, along with AFV's Sd.Kfz.11/4
and AFV's Pak 41/43? (8.8cm Anti Tank Gun) by asking a modeler friend to buy from Malaysia (there's no importer of AFV in Thailand).

My Dragon's Sd.Kfz.251/1 C has been built and shown in MM Page 21C several months ago. It's hard to tell which company builds better 251/1. But Dragon provides a free figure set with its 251/1 C, so it may be a better choice. Smile [:)]
