Hi Niko,

I have compared them with #6224 251/7 3-in-1 set...I found that..No changed on the transmission cover...but have changed on the Floor..see below picture... ;)

Hi,
and thank you for info. Looks like it's the same correction as was done with D-versions. Guess we'll have to settle with that one then.

Didn't know this one was out yet. It's on my list as I want to do the one with the Pak for Kharkov.

And a quote from preview:
"There are still some niggling issues from the previous Ausf.C kits such as the undersized central floor hump, no offset of the drive sprocket teeth, no steering arm and no upper hull overhang but overall will build easily into a nice looking model."
And also seems that part B4 is straight instead of being slanted. What is done correctly in AFV's version, is upper hull's overhang. DML is still missing that :angry:

Would be nice to see /17 version also with widened hull:)

Hi,
how do you like these books? I have Number one of 251 series and wasn't that happy as it didn't have much interior info. Some good pics and drawings but nothing too fancy.

Not that useful...I don't have the number one...but I think they are in same styling...not much interior pictures...just some line drawing plus some war time pictures....and it only have the info started with 251/11 to 251/23 and the 251/1 Stuka Zu Fub...

The Panzer Tracts one is better than the Tank Power...more interior info & history...but most of them are in Ausf A & B...it only have the ibfo form 251/1 to 251/10...

I am looking for the 251 special issue from Ground Power's...I think it is out of stock...difficult to find...or any book you are recommended.
