ACE Model has sent us information about their new kits, a Sd.Kfz.250/8 Stummel and a Super Snipe Lorry 8cwt

The 250 series of half-tracks was based on the chassis of the Demag D7. The earlier design was simplified in 1943 by replacing the original 19 armoured plates with just 9. These were then shipped to Panzer Grenadier Divisions and Panzer recon units. They were seen on all fronts from 1944 until the wars end.
The Stummel was a variant carrying a 7.5 cm gun for artillery support


The Super Snipe from 1938, was based on the civilian Humber Snipe chassis, using a more powerful engine taken from the Humber Pullman. Ford, Humber and Morris-Commercial manufacturers supplied vehicles in the 8cwt class. These were generally fitted with Personnel/General Service bodywork of a standard design and had a well type floor. The same body was also used for the FFW (Fitted for Wireless) trucks, in which case the internal arrangements consisted of a wireless transmitting table, fittings for batteries and radio equipment, including a No 11 Wireless Set.
