Thanks!

Looks like this is another good kit even if it does have my pet hate of an end opening box meaning you cannot keep sub-assemblies in the box with the sprues.

Thanks for posting the review Kevin, and agree with Darren that this looks pretty good - so I'm looking forward to seeing you building it! Looks relatively complex for what must end up being a quite small model.

On the designation, MB have confused the Sd.Kfz series with the Kfz - this vehicle was designated Kfz.2 ("Powered vehicle" rather than "Special Powered Vehicle"). You're right about Sd.Kfz.2 being the Kettenkraftrad.

Incidentally there are a few photos of a couple of examples of this vehicle in the feature I posted on the
History on Wheels museum, for example:


Finally, totally agree with you Darren about the end opener boxes... my solution is Poundland where you can get a ten pack of those Chinese takeaway type flimsy plastic food boxes (cheaper than actually buying takeaways!)

True but not as tasty

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation on that.
