* Just got the new Hanomag repaint. I do like their new
SS camo scheme. Only if they'd just put out a couple a new variants , like a Pak-wagen or Pioneerwagen for starters.
........... anybody else gettin' one ? ... I know this really aint no big deal but @ least it's somethin' new , kinda' sorta. I just can't wait for that WC-63 and German Ambulance. Be real nice if they'd just do an American "meat wagon" version WC-54 though , w/ personnel ie,.. (stretcher barers w/ wounded) for example. Maybe I'm just askin' for too much. Who knows , when.

Just came in the mail yesterday
Haven't taken it out of the box yet, but I like it. The cammo is nice and it has a good amount of weathering. The hanomag will pair up nicely with my S1 FOV Panther, with its similar style camo. I agree its time to do some new halftrack variants as well - Unimax already makes a Stuka zu Fuss hanomag in 1:72 scale...
I'm glad to see that Unimax is still in the game, even if they are releasing mostly repaints, as it gives me a chance to catch up on vehicles I missed out on earlier. I didn't get any of the earlier regular SDK-251s (though I got the Kannonenwagen) and this is definitely superior to the 21c hanomag

I really want a winter version of this vehicle.

What do you mean?
Didn't unimax produce one and then re-release it?

yeah I just got it a few days and I really like it. I love the paint scheme and the figures really bring more life to it.

Yes, FOV did make a winter version of the Hanomag. I think it was one of their first versions from the 2004-2005 timeframe. Looks like it came with some great figures
They also have a winterized version of the SDK 251/9 Kanonenwagen.
This one is still easy to find and the detail is fantastic, right down to the gunner's seat, sight, gun breach detail, driver compartment, and even ammo storage with individual 75mm rounds.

That's the one!
The sdkfz 251/1 with the 4 awesome panzergreadiers. I have been trying to find one, but without luck
