Wasn't a major company suppoosed to release a crew for the 250's? I can't remeber which Tamiya or DML. Or was I just dreaming.

Hi

DML kit 6131 is a sort of crew for the 250 or any other vehicle. Two guys posed in a vehicle, and two standing.

Tamiya's 251/D kit comes with a combat crew.

No plastic manufactures a bunch of guys sitting in the 251 per se.

Yes, Dragon has it in their 2003 catalog as item 6193. It's probably 3-5 months from production.

Hi Ron

Nice to see you visiting Armorama!

What are the figures doing in the kit you mention? Sitting around or are they in action?
That should prove a popular set.

The Modern Marines are in the tooling stage. The figures are representative of the Corps in Afghanistan 2001. It took 3 years to get them done because they kept changing their kit! Too bad we couldn't have waited a bit longer.

The German Halftrack crew have a driver and co-driver in their seats, a gunner firing an MG34 and a vheicle commander behind the gunner.

Cheers,
Ron V
