Here''s a set I''ve been waiting for from Cyber Hobby. It''s not quite what I expected.

Cyber Hobby Sd.Kfz.234/1 Upgrade Set



If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

Looks like something I'll use to upgrade the old Italeri 234/1.

Actually, I think it's ment to be used for Dragon's 234/1, as well as they made a similar set for the 234/4, which I'm building right now (as for the latter, there is a small brochure which describes it into the box: it features PE gun shield plus other details). Also in this case, there are new sidepods with more hatches, which allow you to depict an early version of the vehicle, and decals for further liveries.
How much does it cost?

Hi Vinnie,thank you very much for posting yet another GREAT review but I'll quote you as saying "The second of the photo etched frets is a new one, containing the ammunition racks that are missing from the kit. The reason they were missing from the Dragon kit, is that enough references could not be found by the Dragon team. Cyber Hobby have a completely independent research team which has found sufficient references, which is why they felt able to include them in this set! So well done to them! "
I can smell a big,fat rat in pure Chinese-mafia style instead......Dragon and CH may have a completely independent research team or,at least ,that's what they want us to believe.....I think they're just taking modelers for a ride;get the picture...."If I don't get hold of their upgrade set I'm a perfect nobody and my model will be junk"!

Great product review, Vinnie. Too bad they didnt include the 2cm KwK barrel from the Sd kfz 251/23 Ausf D kit. That would have been alot better

Off to see the Wizzard

Cheers !!

Robert, I had a very long conversation with Cyber Hobby about that very point when I met with them in Los Angeles. It would have made the pricing difficult, amongst other factors to take into account. I'm just grateful that there's one in the 251/23!
