Selbstfahrlafette On the Way

¹⁄35

A new variant of the Sd.Kfz.7 is on the way from Dragon Models, this time with armored cab and and FlaK 43.

Dragon Models has announced another variant of the Sd.Kfz.7, the Selbstfahrlafette. This variant is the armored cab mounting the 3.7cm FlaK 43. As far as I can tell, it is the same Sd.Kfz.7 kit, but Dragon is stating the gun will have new parts, including metal gun shield, shield brackets, and mount. Also included are DS tires and Magic Track. This does look to be a great looking combination, and should be another addition for halftrack fans.

6553 – Sd.Kfz.7 w/3.7cm FlaK 43 auf Selbstfahrlafette

According to Dragon Models USA this new kit should be out in March 2014.

Looks like a nice kit I can't help but notice though, there's no rear seat and gun rack again... and those doors still dont open. seems a waste of all that interior detail. Don't let me put you off though, I've almost completed the Sd. Kfz 7 and it was one of the most enjoyable builds I've done (no. 6)!

This will be my first attempt with the flak 43. Plus this gives me another shot at the 7 after botching the flak 37 variant by breaking and loosing the driver side rear-view mirror pieces.

Their all-new, never-before-made-in-plastic M103A1 has just hit the shelves, and they're working two similarly new tanks, the M6 and MBT-70. Do they count? KL
