Looks like a welcome addition to early-war armor. I'll let the caliper guys determine whether it is truly accurate, but I can see this being used to effect in vignettes and dioramas.

Okay, so how is this one different from their earlier command-version? Oh right! No frame antennae.

I hope they release the crew as a standalone set. The 251 driver that fits would be worth it.

It does beg the question as to why ICM did not include the antennae assembly

Appearently ICM has already released the crew and radio set separately.

Looks like a "must have" set if you ask me. Perfect for the Blitz Command/Communications Bus I am building.

I'll second Bob's comments. This would work in practically any/every theater in the first three years of the war.
