This is the Early War variant on the armored-cab version already released. Small arms fire proved to be a NASTY distraction to crews going through hostile environs.

DML is providing a crew for the "vanilla" 7 now, it would be nice to have a Gen 2 crew for their FlaK variants.

I like it ! A nice addition to the SdKfz 7 family. I also agree with Bill, a nice Gen-2 crew for this kit and several other Dragon offerings in both summer and winter Clothing/Gear would be Great. Am I asking too much ? LMAO, milvehfan,

I'd say you are more likely to see a new German crew than a US/Allied crew for the M3 halftrack series, at least from Dragon. I do like the look of this kit, and with a single color scheme I could actually stand a chance of pulling this off.
