It's great to see, but now I have competition for my own 251
Good luck with the build and it be great to see once you done with it. The only thing I dont look forward to are the tracks

That said, there supposedly a 1/10 251 project underway but who knows when or at what quality level from you-know-who.
Famo????? What manufacturer?
Sorry for my spelling mistakes, I try to do better every day...

1/10th?? Why oh why can we not agree to a standard?
New 'obscure' models in tanks is rather like model railways. Everybody starts off with a Flying Scotsman so everyone makes them and in huge quantities, and this keeps them affordable. The hard core that stick with the hobby develop a love for the obscure and ugly but have to wait forever before a backstreet manufacturer makes one, even though they know the market will be small, so has to overprice it to just break even. Our hobby is just the same! If you have been on this forum for a while you have probably passed through the Tiger1 and Sherman phase already

So, will there be scope with this design to adapt it into an Sd.Kfz 250/3?

the Sd.Kfz. 250 is on the list and will follow a little later on. Despite it looks similar, the whole design have to be reworked and adapted; it's like almost start from de beginning.

Just passing along intel I know & given it's 1/10 means it has to be coming from Hooben who's hellbent on building this new scale into a market leader.

After hours and hours of detailing, the design phase is done so far.
Some shots of the end design steps:
Workable back doors…
Coming up, the printing of the first prototype; I’m so excited…
