Trumpeter have sent us details of their NEXT Sd.Kfz 7 Variants. With these, the company is doing two more versions of the ARMORED Sd.Kfz. 7/2 and Selbstfahrlafette. Full details along with a complete set of images can be seen:

This variant looks a lot more interesting than the last one released.
Is the trailer the correct one this time?
Two thumbs up to Trumpeter for the wide variety of vehicles they give us.

That's hard to say, though it's clearly different from the incorrect Sd.Ah. 51 they included in their 7/1 Vierling.
Check this out:
Vehicles of the Wehrmacht says it should be the Sonder Anhaenger 57, but I cannot yet find a photo of that trailer. H_Ackermans
Here are 4 other pics I have of 7/2's and trailer:
I don't know which Anhänger these are. But they all DO indicate the Anhänger in the kit is the correct one this time round. bill_c
Yes and no.
It's better, with a curved roof, but if you look carefully at your photos, Herbert, the rear door on the trailer is smaller, while they look to be the same length in the model. Not a fatal problem for most modelers, but until someone with more detailed information comes on the scene, I'm reserving judgement on whether this trailer is the correct one.
Seems to me there's a book waiting to be published:
TRAILERS OF THE WEHRMACHT. :D :D
Probably sell three or four copie... bill_c
I guess it helps to READ the new release and look at the pictures.... :o)
After looking at all the images and attempting to sort out the quoted text, I can't tell the difference in the two offerings. Since the two kits seem virtually identical, I'm confused by what Trumpeter is announcing. The only substantial difference seems to be one has a PE shield, while the other's is styrene. But both appear to be "late" versions with squared-off mud guards. Pity Trumpeter isn't releasing one early (... Tebsie
If you go on the Panzer DB site there are some really good photos of a Maschinensatz SdAh 24 generator trailer. I might be wrong with this but I believe the SdAh 57ammunition trailer used the same chassis as the generator trailer but had a slightly larger box superstructure for the ammo lockers. On some shots of the SdAh 57 the ammo locker can be seen to reach the full width between the trailer wheel arches. Rear stabilizer jack, and rear skids etc appear the same. The trouble is that most pho... wbill76
Bill,
The biggest difference between the two vehicles announced is the gun itself. One has the Flak 37 while the other has the Flak 43. ;) GaryGore
I'm not an expert, but I believe the 2 differnet Sd.Kfz 7/2 kits don't reside in the half-track part, but the 37mm Flak Gun part. One has a 37mm Flak 37 (old Tamyia kit type) and the 2nd one has a 37mm Flak 43 (like the new Lion Roar Kit).
Now I can't wait to see Dragon's shot across the bow with their offerings, man am I lucky I didn't buy that Tamyia kit I want a few months ago.

Yes, now I see it. Lefties are notoriously dyslexic. :o) |
