Another half track coming from Dragon, an Sd.Kfz.250/7 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen (schwerer Granatwerfer), which was a mortar carrier. In the rear compartment was an 8cm GrW34 mortar.

Might have to get this. Wish it came with the figures, but don't suppose it will.

Hopefully SOGA Miniatures will do a crew as they are covering crew figures for just about everything.

Completely new hull components? I hope they fit better than their previous 250 series. But at $70 USD (almost $100 CAN) a pop, are they serious? I only comment on the price because I bought their Late Tiger I with Zimmerit for only $50 CAN at an LHS a few years ago.

I'm with you, Biggles2; that much for a small half-track? No, thanks. Tiger? Straight away. Too bad, I do like this vehicle.

Are there really people paying full retail? I don't think I've paid more than half price for a Dragon kit in the past year or so at least.

Interested, but with the Neu body-style and more interested in a 251 version. Either way, I've got a 'few' kits to work on before I pick one of these up.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

Wonder if the Verlinden guys would fit different mortar but arms could maybe be adjusted

Normal dragon 250 is only around $30. You van pick up a tamiya or dragon 80mm mortar for maybe $15 including mortar crew.
You might have to scratch build a couple items in the vehicle, but I see no significant difficulty in kit bashing this for under $50

I really wish Dragon would do crew sets that match their box covers.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
