Thanks!

Jim,

Do you know if this one's going to be an all-new tool "Smart Kit" or a "Premium" kit upgrade like they did with the 250/1? The 250/1 "Premium" kit had some problems like a missing transmission, visors that were the wrong size, interior detail issues, etc. so if this one is a new-tool I'm hoping they corrected those this time around as well as giving it the "smart" treatment.

It's a Premium Kit of the earlier kit no 6102.

Wether that bodes well or not only a box-review or build-up will reveal.

Yep, Premium - don't know where I got the 'Smart-Kit' thing from at all....

Ahhhh... DragonUSA have just modified their website, i'll swear, that when I picked this up, it WAS listed as Smart Kit....

That dampens my enthusiasm a little bit, but like Herb I guess we'll have to wait and see what the actual kit looks like and whether or not they just threw in extra sprues from various other kits for the 7.5cm gun and superstructure along with the 250/1 Premium sprues to get to this one.

The more the merrier! The 250 is one of my favorite Wehrmacht platforms. Hopefully the upper and lower hull will fit together a little bit better.

Does anyone know, what ever happened to all those German halftracks after WW2? Did they continue, in Soviet service? Did the Soviets pass them on to the Syrians or the East Germans?
