Resin accessory maker Black Dog just continues to keep that resin pouring, adding more and more much needed stowage.

Thanks!

Cool, cool, cool, thanks, Kevin.

I wonder if the fabric windscreen cover and rag top would work on an Sd.Kfz. 7? The DML ones don't come with a rag top.

Famo gear looks great thanks for the heads up

For me, the Humber set looks awesome, makes me want to build another.....

Bill, I want to clarify that the term "FAMO" isn't really accurate even for the 18-ton Sd.Kfz.9 that usually bears that name among modelers.

Tamiya likes to use the Patentfirma name on its kits (Hannomag, for example, with their Sd.Kfz. 251 kit), and did so with the Sd.Kfz.9. That vehicle WAS designed by Fahrzeug- und Motorenbau GmbH (FAMO) of Breslau, but was also made by other companies, including the Czech firm of Tatra.

In this case, Black Dog is saying the resin is for the Sd.Kfz.8 variant that Trumpeter has announced (though Black Dog is showing the items on a Trumpeter Sd.Kfz.7 kit if I'm not mistaken).

I guess that answers my question above whether these items would work on a Seven!

All of that's a long-winded way of saying that using "FAMO" to refer to any Wehrmacht halftrack isn't really accurate.

Sounds familiar to me....

Frenchy

I really like the look of the Black Dog stuff, but some of it is just frustratingly unrealistic. The Pz II stowage covers the radio operator's hatch.

And now this new Chaffee set, except it completely covers the exhaust pipes. And because the 'main' piece comes as one large chunk, there's no way to alter it. It's really too bad.

Frenchy, you are correct! But those Voyager sets remain hard to find, though there is a seller in China on eBay who has them.

Hi guys. anyone know if the German 1/2-track stowage sets are out yet? TIA

Darren; Kevin ran this story but it does say "released" and as the story was run in June I should think you will be able to find the item you are interested in for sale.

They do not appear to be out yet, at least not on this side of the Pond.

They were released a while ago and were instock at Jadarhobby online store in Poland.. and some of the items are all sold out now. So, I guess it depends on where you live.
