Would like to see more "2 in 1" kits for vehicles like this that had multiple random variants.

Hmmm...previously released kits, combined. And they are German. No room for error there! Maybe Dragon has finally exhausted possibilities for StuG's, Panthers, and Tigers, and have shifted their focus to half-tracks.

So much for those 'white-box' CH kits being 'unique' now!

Yup. This is one very good thing about Dragon re-pops, being able to pick up stuff at reasonable prices.

So they want to entice us to buy two kits (to avoid being forced to choose, I hate having to choose .......) :-D

A self-correction; there usually was a fit problem between upper and lower hull halves with DML half-tracks. But then, I experienced similar problems with AFV and Tamiya kits.

As far as I know, and have experienced, AFV Club kits have the worst upper and lower hull fits. But, with a good few ounces of putty, you end up with a kit on the same level as Dragons

Dragon and AFV Club have not done the 251 B series so there is still room in the 1/35th universe for more.
