Great news, Kevin! That's a wrap (as they say in the movies) with all the major Wehrmacht half-tracks now in styrene. Trumpeter had already released the Late War armored cab version, so it's good to see the "vanilla" prime mover out now, too. I'll be getting one for sure.

I wish the this one would have come out before the armored cab, then maybe the armored cab would of had a radiator in it. Do you know how hard it is to find a picture of a Sd.Kfz.8 radiator, especially inside the armor...

Yes I am Bill I had noticed Kevin's earlier request for such picture but found nothing useful so far
...The search's not over !

It is not an easy task, I have tried a few searches. I guess no one thought a radiator would be so important?

Trumpeter has also, at some point, released the STRV103B early tracks. I never saw an announcement for them on any web sight. They are in stock at Sprue Brothers:
TRP02055 1:35 Trumpeter Strv103 Early Workable Track Links #2055
MSRP $35.00 Our Price: $27.99
Other shops probably have them also.
They are just like workable Model Kasten with the assembly jig and the little pins that fit into each side. IMHO they are a step up from the tracks that come in the kit.
Best regards,
Leroy
