Based on the box art, just like their Neu (Ausf B) version, the splash ring forward of the turret is missing. It was in the kit of the other version only by virtue of it being there for other Ausf B versions...
The screens do not look high enough in the pic either.
The turret is also a later version minus the hatches in the sides.
It is only the box art, hopefully the kit itself addresses the issues and has the option for a '2 in 1' different turret.

Geez! Dragon has offered this kit in various guises over the years on both the 251 and 250 platforms so I'm surprised to see it offered as if it's something new & amazing. I'm sure that it's: well-detailed, overly complex, has appallingly tiny instructions replete with dumb errors & cost more than it should. Plus I probably either have a version of one already or will simply kit-bash with the "neu" release offered earlier to make one. Wow, that'd be hard...

It should be noted that the late version Sd.Kfz.222 turret used on this vehicle used a mixture of low and high mesh screens. Ergo, the image is therefore not necessarily indicative of any inaccuracy.
