I had to get something for my 251s to tow :lol: , so I picked up this kit from AFV Club. It's gotten some good reviews and I thought it would be fun kit to build...

it is a nice kit Bryan. just be careful of the delicate parts though as they can easily be broken. You'll probably need a bit of reference as well as the instructions IMO are not the greatest. Have fun with it though and good luck!

Hi Bryan,

Nice project! Please, keep us posted: I have the same kit sitting on the shelf for almost a year...I'm scared by a previous experience with an AFV kit - Sdkfz 11 - ...It has been the most difficult kit I ever tried to build!!

Good luck Jackal,
this should be a fun project with the extras and all! Keep us posted on the build as I haven't built this one and are interested in how it compares with the DML.

Bryan,

Hi, that's a pretty nice kit. True though you really need to be careful cutting parts off the sprue tree. And the instrucitons could be a little clearer, I have a build log on this one that's about 85 to 90 pecent built. If you'd like, go to my v-bench to see.

Larry
