Sd.Kfz. 251/16 Ausf. D

Manufacturer: CMK (Kit No. 72002)

Here's the second one. Just as nice as the Uhu, this is a very good kit.

The very large and sturdy cardboard box contains a complete kit (box included) of the Hasegawa Sd.Kfz. 251/1 (click on the scan above for preview of that kit). There is a new set of excellent instructions with painting guide. No new decals are included; only the original Hasegawa set. Several photos of the completed kit on the box cover will make good references for assembly.

The resin parts are extremely well made, as to be expected from this company who has made many, very high quality, resin detail sets for aircraft models for many years. There are no molding imperfections, very little flash, and superb detail. As you can see, the entire flame thrower system is included in resin, as are a complete engine, and many internal details.

The extensive etched metal sheet is very well done, and produced by Eduard. There are new hull side storage bins with positionable doors, positionable rear compartment doors, positionable engine access doors, and many other details.

This is a fantastic kit, and I look forward to CMK's future combi-sets.
