ICM 1/35 Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.B (35106)

This article will tell you more about ICM 1/35 Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.B (35106). New vehicle comes as yet another version of the German halftrack in popular scale. Previous releases could give you interior features as well as nice molding, so it will be interesting to see what is new in today's one. Overall packaging is typical, so all frames come in one plastic bag. There are 291 parts which should assemble into a model with 167mm length. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.

By the way, here you can read review with another version of the vehicle.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.

First one is a new top hull section. You can compare design with the "old" one on the photo below. Note also engine bay mesh imitation.

Floor panel can be found on the second frame. Overall design is similar to what we had in previous versions of the vehicle.

As it was mentioned already, there is also a nice interior out of the box, so it might be worth spending some time to get a nice paintwork. Pioneer tools are molded with clamps.

This frame comes in two pieces, as we get drivetrain elements here. Overall molding quality looks great, but assembly and painting will take some time.

Lower hull section should be glued out of several panels. Here you can also see engine parts which are nicely detailed.

Clear frame is packed into separate plastic bag. Molding quality looks fine, and you will need only several parts from here.

Vinyl tires and tracks is something you won't be able to avoid unless you buy some aftermarket. They look okay, but not as good as plastic alternative would.

Decals sheet is not that big, but you will get all necessary symbols here. Printing quality looks great and all options can be checked on the photo below.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.

New kit should be already available for purchase. In one box you will get nice plastic with great features. Even standard build should look impressive, and with some additional work you can get more details. Overall quality is nice, but I would recommend to see if it is possible to replace at least wheels for a better appearance. Such upgrade will be noticeable on the finished build.
