Thanks!

I want one. After decades of Tigers and Sd.Kfzs and such, I have an affinity for indigenous Minor Powers weapons.

Now that's cool AND different! I think I will be trying one as well.

Perfect, waiting for years but at last we will have a plastic kit. I really like this little vehicle

it was in fact a very sound construction. Also looks interesting with the early Hungarian armor markings and 3-tone camouflage.

I'm not much into non-modern subjects but I might make an exception for this one. Seems to be a fairly quick build so it might be worth going for the three tone camo, indeed. Not to mention, it IS something different.

Seen many photos of it, but never one with a German cross. Might be the octagonal Hungarian ensign used in the mid war period: http://www.spruebrothers.com/sbmimages/mmfham001b.jpg

Thanks for the comment Freddy, I may have been confused with the Hungarian sign as there were variants with thin and thick arms...

I guess that on many German made Hungarian vehicles this octagonal ensign was simply made by "completing" the Balkenkreuz. Later the Hungarian ground forces used a white cross on a black square (same as the air force). As far as I know Hungarian made vehicles (Nimród, Zrínyi, Turán, Toldi, Botond truck) were never used by the German army, Hungarian industry was busy enough to produce them for our own armed forces. Some of them were captured and used by the Soviets (they attached them to mountain units- on the narrow mountain roads the smaller Hungarian tanks were better than the large Soviet vehicles, dont know if they had Csaba too). Nice to see the Csaba in plastic (I made one from the resin kit of Minimanfactory), there was a radio car version with a big antenna (like the one on SdKfz 232), hope they release it too.

great news, I always want it! and will do some in action figures for it, different than great The Bodi figures
