Dear Collectors,

Since the CORGI version when i was a kid this is the half track I've had a wish for!

Looks great to me.

 

[Jagdpanther]

Looks good to me also!

 

[Phantom Warrior]

Spectacular detail. My only response is with $$$269.

Are we done yet? If not how about making something I don't want and leave me with some $$$ for Chicago

Looks great.
Any chance of a Desert Sherman.

My favourite version of the 251,great detailing.
Looking at pictures 1 and 2 it appears the rocket "crates " are detachable that's an interesting feature for a number of scenarios.

Keep 'em coming.
Regards

Quite impressive to say the least although I will pass on it as I'm more interested more in the Allied equipment although I did get initially worried when I saw the word Stuka

I assume limited to 100 Rick

Looks great.
Any chance of a Desert Sherman.

Maybe silence is golden

Very nice, I like the detachable rockets.

Rick,

Will there also be a Winter version?

Amazing! Really nice version of the 251, I was never expecting to see one of those. I will pre-order it.

Now that Rick has made the mold for the SDKFZ 251, which other variants do you think we will be seeing this year? Once you detach the rockets from the side, you can convert to almost any one of them.

Well there goes a quarter of my OTSN budget! Great job .

That Corgi version was the first military vehicle I ever had - when I started collecting K&C the first wood vehicle I ever bought was the Hanomag because it reminded me of the Corgi vehicle. I am so buying one of these from Matt at the Show!!!! Awesome!!!!!

As excited as we all are about this release, don't you think we want to flip around the expression "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

I, for one, want to see what Rick may have for sale at the luncheon. If, for instance, he has a Desert Sherman (for arguments sake) that I what I will buy.

I also don't want to blow my entire budget as I probably want to get some Somerset and any other interesting items that may present themselves.

I don't that many of us can afford at the Show to buy the Tropical 88, this Stuka and whatever else Rick may have for sale. I think he has said that there will be many interesting things.

OK, I now get it!!! It's a race isn't it? It's a race to see if Figarti (and John Jenkins, K&C, et al) can make me spend more money than I have. WELL, I'll just show them. I have a house I can mortgage. That'll show'em who can win this race.

What a great model. Figarti has, again, proven that they can preform up to better and better standards of quality and precision.

Beautiful!

And I really love the faces of the soldiers. They are not as dark and grey as they used to be.

It really does make you wonder what the surprise pieces at the show will be.
All I can say is Figarti has come a very long way from their initial OTSN where they displayed their Japanese-Chinese War figures.

Oh my heavens, you have to be kidding me. I thought the 251/1 and it’s variants would be produced someday and released but not this version! Man, it’s too complicated and too expensive to produce right?

I guess not, here it is and it’s beauty isn’t it, I’ve got to get two ( one for repainting) because these babies don’t grow on trees and may not come back again.

Are we not lucky to have so many high quality choices?

Having now seen photos of the interior detail, assuming it looks as good in person, this is the best vehicle I have seen in the hobby to date. Absolutely spectacular!!
