This article will tell you more about ICM 1/35 Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.B Stuka zu Fuss (35107). New version comes as yet another tracked vehicle in popular scale. As you can guess, it will feature launch frames from both sides. I reviewed the previous releases, so it will be interesting to see how this one is designed. Overall packaging is typical for this brand, and you get 425 parts which should assemble into a model with 170mm length. Let's open everything and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another version of the same vehicle.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.
We are going to start with new parts first. Here you can see panels for the launch boxes, which will have to be installed on both sides of the vehicle.
Other framing sections can be found on the next sprue. Each rocket will have to be glued out of two halves, and there are guiding pins to help with alignment.
As for the "main" vehicle, some of you might be familiar with contents as it is similar to the previous versions. Here you can see lower hull panels and engine parts.
There are a lot of small bits, so be sure to have a good cutters for precise separation.
Drivetrain assembly might take some time, but it is something you won't be able to avoid. Overall quality looks great and deserves a nice paintwork with weathering.
Hull top and floor panels are molded as one-piece elements, and such design should be helpful in assembly.
"New" top panel comes as the separate part. Molding quality looks as good as on the previous parts.
Clear frame is packed separately. Parts look great, but you will need only headlamp lenses for this vehicle.
Kit features vinyl tracks and tires. Those look okay and should be fine for standard build, but I would recommend to find replacement for even better appearance of the finished project.
Decals sheet is not that big, but features all necessary symbols for four markings. Overall printing quality looks great, and you can see marking options on the photo below.
Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.
New release should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is an interesting offering for those who would like to have their own vehicle with rockets on both sides. Assembly process shouldn't be difficult, and you can also decide on marking option and loadout. Quality out of the box is also good, but it might be worth thinking on how to replace tracks and tires. Don't forget that you can also get suitable figures as separate set from ICM.
