Don't know about that, but there is a photo in Restayn and Moeller's book "10 Panzer Division" of one of these parked on a road in Tunisia.

That's because there was a whole unit of Stug F used in Tunisa.


The earlier unit was only a detachment and half was sunk en route. The support vehicles probably ended up on the floor of the Mediterranean.

Joking aside, it's good to see Dragon finally figured out how to make an ammunition trailer after releasing both the Sd.Kfz.7/1 and 7/2 without one.

What have we learned about the release. Will this truly hit the market or was this all a ruse?

Still on pre-order status -- apparently the release dates have been pushed again. Hobby Easy has it for 28 December release. Dragon USA by January 2017. To me, seeing built up photos is assurance that its release is just around the corner, rather than looking at CAD or box art for years on end. Well, that's just me hoping

Well, its the end of December and still no firm release date for the sd kfz 252 except a vague announcement promising a January 2017 release. And a new trend in pushing that price envelope. $67.99? Ouch!

Picked this up today at the LHS:

At the current FX rates it works to about US$48 -- not bad.

I guess Dragon has updated its box / packaging, as it's the first time I've seen such box top layout.

Thanks Carlos. I may have this as entry for the ongoing half-track campaign -- that is, if I get to muster enough courage to do one at this level of detail

Had a quick peek -- there's a figure included in this one.

Cheers,

Tat

Being a Dragon kit, we can be reasonably sure the delay was not a result of proofing and editing the instructions....
