Yep guys, it seems we will have the new updated sd.kfz 222 here soon! I have been talking with Xion, and they say the model has already been designed and we are waiting until the coronavirus fades for starting production.
The model also appears in the Torro's catalogue, so I guess it will be worldwide available this year!
I also got a preview of the first version of the manual, and I am allowed to show it here as long as I mention it has Xion's copyrights.
Manual available at my onedrive:

Thanks I think RAD

. It is an obvious must have BUT where on earth shall I put it

I like that Torro will be marketing it as it will complement the M16 that is also in Torro's catalogue.

That's exactly what I was thinking Gary

I hope they do get some new models released though even if the prices are over the top
Cheers, Lee.

Hi! I uploaded the manuals at my personal onedrive.
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ag10Kxs8SgAKmWTOM2N ... C?e=T3YYTm Feel free to discuss!
(And again, remember those are copyrighted.)
I wanted to upload them here at the forum, but for some reason it seems I am not able to do it.
Trora: Not sure about the price, but due to Torro will sell it too, the production run is bigger, so it will drop the old prices for sure. Peter already told me that.
Jarndice: No probs, if you have no place to store it, I will happily store it for you. Id sacrifice myself, so don't suffer, lol.
Max/Model Builder: Nope, no Schwimmwagen yet, but as far as I know, that does not come from Xion. Torro sells things from many diferent brands, Heng Long, their own which is the same as Taigen, WSN, Metal Origins, Hooben and more...
But yeah, I am waiting for this kit for years. I always said I finished my RC collection lacking the 222, so it seems I am close to call it complete!

:D:D
I even already did my own 222 sounds. Cant wait!

In this instruction, in part 2 I see some main board. It will already be in set?

That is just an speed controller. I think it comes without it, but there are tons of them everywhere to suit al budgets.
