Sd.Kfz. 251/9 Ausf. D Stummel

Manufacturer: Part (P72-033)

Evaluation:

First, this is a 2-in-1 set, as you receive the "normal" Sd.Kfz. 251/1 PE frets, together with the components to detail the Sd.Kfz. 251/9 Ausf. D from Hasegawa. The problem with the plastic kit is the lack of detail in the area of the K51 L/24 gun, as traversing and elevating wheels are missing, which this fret addresses, but the other absent parts, like the left hand recoil guard and the periscope sight are not included. As always, some of the PE could be useful, while others could be tricky, to say at least, not only for their dimension, but also for the need to overlay and bend in some weird angles. Overall this is an Excellent Set.

I must thank Milan Vins for providing me this set.
