Hobby Master is going to do 1/48 Sdkfz 222

Did anyone noticed that HM is going to release this beauty

I am a great fan of 1/48 scale. I have some of both HM and Tamiya 1/48 prebuilds and like them a lot. Bigger scale simply looks better imo (takes more room too)

I remember William saying something about rejuvenating ground models in 1/48, but only as accessories for fly-boys dioramas ie tankers, trucks and jeeps. Thats why 1/48 Kubel didn't surprise me, but 222 is a whole different story. YAY!!!

I would love to see a late war 222 in 1/72, but 1/48 isn't a bad start! :)

Unfortunately, it's the wrong scale for me - I stopped collecting 1:32 armour and I never got into collecting 1:48 armour.
