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 sturdycardboard box contains a complete kit (box included) of theHasegawa Sd.Kfz. 251/1 (click on the scan above for preview ofthat kit). There is a new set of excellent instructions withpainting guide. No new decals are included; only the originalHasegawa set. Several photos of the completed kit on the boxcover will make good references for assembly.

The resin parts areextremely well made, as to be expected from this company who hasmade many, very high quality, resin detail sets for aircraftmodels for many years. There are no molding imperfections, verylittle flash, and superb detail. As you can see, the entire flamethrower system is included in resin, as are a complete engine,and many internal details.

The extensive etched metalsheet is very well done, and produced by Eduard. There are newhull side storage bins with positionable doors, positionable rearcompartment doors, positionable engine access doors, and manyother details.

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