Bolt Action plans plastic Sd.Kfz 251s.

Nice kit, but why plastic? There are so many good resin kits around, I honestly cannot understand the need for plastic.
 

Why plastic? Because it's a friendlier material than resin.
It's not about making a nicer kit, it's about making 28mm vehicles more accesible.
Being able to put together a 28mm and not have to wear a dust mask sounds good to me.

I agree and if the price point is right......

No enthusiam for Hanomags but if they see their way to doing an M-3 Halftrack or a T-34/85 then I'd buy some.

A saving is a saving!
Fingers crossed for M-3 halftracks indeed.

They should be able to get a bit more detail in the plastic too,especially with multi part.
While JTFM and Company B's resin is great for detail Warlord's heavy resin leaves a lot to be desired in the detail department.IMHO anyway.

Lighter, more durable, easier and safer to work with, more youngster friendly, easier to convert, the list is quite long.

And if people don't want plastic ones, they don't buy them.

Plastic is cheaper. But as long as they will make the single vehicle cost 12pounds, it will not be more interesting than any other kit...

[redzed]

why plastic? and why so expensive?

£15! spend £3 more and get a beautiful detailed plastic version.

Actually you can get the Tamiya 251 for cheaper than that online  Most of mine cost from 18 to 22 USD.
Though I  expect a lot of gamers don't want to go through the building process,especially the tracks.They give me a headache too
and they are 1/48 so the 1/56 crowd can't use them.I might get a couple Warlord plastics to see if I can use them as 250s.

I made the first two kits up for Warlord and I found them so much nicer than resin. Less dust and a nice smooth finish with no bubbles.

I'm all for plastic kits! just look at 1/76 or 1/72 for us 20mm guys.

Seems logical to do common vehicles in this scale too, and they are cheaper.







dont think you can see the swastika.

Really impressed with them! Very nicely painted but the models themselves seem nice too. Having paid more for a Tamiya kit I then had to build, I'd definitely consider buying these
