For those who cursed when DML brought out the Sdkfz 7 with crew, because they'd already bought the half track, good news. The riders will soon be available as a separate set.

This kit will suit modellers who are keen to fit out their Sdkfz 7 half track, be it by DML or anybody else for that matter, with some crew. The set consists of ten figures in various relaxed poses and posed to fit in the seats of the Sdkfz 7.

One of the figures is configured as a driver (always helps to have one of those!), and all the figures are in early - mid war field grey uniforms with jackboots. A full set of gear is provided (I assume for all the figures) and it's Gen 2 standard.

Definitely a useful set. Don't I recall another model company whose name starts with T doing something similar many years ago ?

Hi Quote "Definitely a useful set. Don't I recall another model company whose name starts with T doing something similar many years ago ?" I'm not sure if the big old Tam did release a figure set on its own, certainly at least their "Famo" came with figures. The only set that comes to mind, and would make a very good mix 'n' match with these Dragon figures are the set from Miniart. 35040 http://www.miniart-models.com//Images/ModelKits/35040.jpg Alan

There is no comparison between the Tamiya crew and the usual Dragon fare (much less their real hits). Even if DML punts on this one, it will be far better than Tamiya's. The MiniArt crew is very good; I have at least one in my stash. The DML set can be used for a variety of kits (the new Sd.Kfz.10/5 or the Tamiya Sd.Kfz. 9, mistakenly called the FAMO). And you'll need two sets for a fully-loaded Sd.Kfz.7, which had a crew of 11 like in the box art. But still, 10 figures is very nice indeed.

Looks like a nice set, one thing I would hope for, suggest(?) is a similar set in Afrika Corps uniforms -keith

Does anyone actually 'have the ear' of Mr... er 'Dragon'? Is there a way to make suggestions ? I mean, I have some DAK figure sets but when it comes to an sdkfz.11/105mm, Blitz, Steyr or sdkfz 7/150mm you can't say, when asked, that ALL the crew 'had to go to the dentist'

How stupid is that? Show 11 figures on the box lid and only include 10!
