This story starts when the friend of mine asked to order him Andrews design Sd.Kfz.223. This kit was last one that was on stock at xion.de. It also includes Pro upgrade kit with metal gears! But then my friend forced by circumstances changes his mind. So now I have this model in my collection, too!!!

That's true... :'(
As for buying Sd.Kfz. 222/223, I found one Italian model shop that tolds it has on stock both models for the price 389 eur + shipping... ;)

I suspect they will do another production run in the future. They've got a deal to distribute through Imex/Taigan now and the Puma is very near release as well.
