1/72 Special Hobby Sd.Kfz 250/1 (Ausf.A)


Recommended Posts

Dear fellow Britmodellers,

here's the new 1/72 Special Hobby SdKfz 250/1, built from the box.

Painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics, weatherd with artist oils, pastel chalks and graphite pencil.

The Special Hobby kit is a re-issue of the MK moulds (https://www.scalemates.com/de/kits/mk-72-07204-sdkfz250-1-ausfa--234263), originally released in 2013.

Details are plentiful, and the general fit of parts is excellent. However, I noticed that on one sprue, a few small parts had been incompletely moulded. I assume the kit I got may have been a test-shot, and the errors will not be present on all kits. I re-worked and re-placed the pieces in question.
The tracks come as a one-piece assembly and can easily be wrapped around the driving wheels without breaking. I much prefer this option over the link-and-length tracks which can be painful to assemble in small scale. The side markers are provided both in plastic and photo-etch (I chose the latter).
