Review Summary

The reviews highlight a generally positive reception, with many praising the kit for its ease of assembly, good value for the price, and suitability for beginners, often noting the fun and straightforward build process. Common critiques include inconsistent fit in areas like rear doors and wheel shafts, limited interior detail, and dated aspects such as older figures and vinyl tracks. Despite these issues, the inclusion of detailed figures and versatile decals is frequently appreciated, making it a popular choice for dioramas and customization.

WWII Armor Main Stay

By: james.minkler

I think anyone building armor in the WWII arena is bound to come across one of these. This is a fun and relatively simple build all together, however there were some areas that I found to be lacking. First the front fenders and side skirts seemed to be a bit ill fitting. This could of been due to the tooling or maybe just a bad mold? The interior could of been done a bit better, maybe it is just due to the fact that it is not a highly technical model, but my investigation into this vehicle during the build showed some very cool features that I feel could have been easily incorporated in the kit. Don't get me wrong, it was a great and fun build. I just had higher hopes I guess. Maybe I will try again but this time invest into some of the large quantity of aftermarket items out there.

Tamiya and Italeri Teamed Up

By: johncpo41 (www.hobbiesinabarn)

The original Hanomag was the mainstay of German transport and modifications for many roles. I chose the first of the series for a diorama incorporating the Italeri Smoke Projector or infamous Nebelwerfer which was a very potent weapon used against the Allies. Crew served by Tamiya figures from the 75mm Anti Tank Gun set I was able to re-create a loading scene and the Hanomag as the vehicle to tow and supply the Nebelwerfer. As with the 251/9 and other 251 variants the tracks and road wheels go together quite well when you follow the sequence in the directions. This kit has been re-issued over time as far back as I can remember and along with over 50 military models finds its home.

Pretty good

By: davisajacobs

If need a bunch of half tracks and don't wanna spend a ton of money, this is for you! The figures that come with this set are not worth building because they are just so old. You can use the spare parts from the figures and the parts of the figures to make custom figures. This kit is really fun to build and is pretty easy!
