German's Sd.Kfz.251 halftrack series proved highly versatile throughout WWII, and numerous variants were produced over the course of its life. There are two new kits of this series, the Sd.Kfz.251/7 Pionierpanzerwagen and the Stuka zu Fuss
The first version is Sd.Kfz.251/7 Pionierpanzerwagen, which was issued to combat engineers in Panzerpionier companies. This new Sd.Kfz.271/7 offers two options for modelers to build either a normal 251/7 w/MG or a 251/7 with 2.8cm sPzB 41 AT gun. The kit features the characteristic assault bridges that are accurately reproduced in 1/72 scale.

Another version was the Stuka zu Fuss mounting the Wurfrahmen 40 rocket launcher system, ideal for providing a heavy bombardment capability to panzergrenadier units. The new Dragon 1/72 kit features such fighting vehicle, offering two options for modelers to build either a vehicle with 32cm incendiary projectiles/wooden crates or a vehicle with 28cm incendiary projectiles in steel crates.

Another kick at the "Two-for-one" can by re-releasing older (though great) kits. Wonder what the price point is -not that I could be bothered to actually look it up- versus actually buying the kit that represents what you actually want to build? Otherwise you're simply paying for more extras in the spare parts box. Seems like a silly marketing scheme to squeeze a few more bucks out of us.

They are trying to save money on boxes. Why put them in two separate boxes when you can dump it all in just one?
