Cyber Hobby Orange Box1/35 SdKfz 250/1 NEU APC Wiking Division

Cyber Hobby has released an Orange Box combo in 1/35 scale. This time featuring SdKfz 250/1 APC together with 4 figures of Armored Recon soldiers from Wiking Division. Depicted in Hungary 1945.

From Dragon Model USA newsletters:
Cyber Hobby is pleased to announce another fabulous Orange Box combo in its popular 1/35 scale collection. The new set includes an Sd.Kfz.250/1 Neu light armored halftrack along with four German figures. The original Sd.Kfz.250 design had multifaceted armor panels so, to simplify construction, a modified vehicle known as the neue Art (“new version”) replaced it. This had more streamlined lines and Dragon’s plastic kit represents this particular design. Notably, the vehicle kit includes interior details. The other half of this Orange Box set is a fine line-up of German figures from the 5th SS Panzer Division “Wiking”. This was an elite panzer division that recruited its members from the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Estonia, plus the Netherlands and Belgium. The division served on the Eastern Front before surrendering to American forces in Austria in 1945. There are a handy four figures in the set, and the sharply sculpted items match perfectly with the armored halftrack. When put together, the German vehicle and soldiers create an instant diorama scene straight from the box. This set from the Orange Box collection offers unbeatable value for money.
There are no reviews of this kit yet, but there is an excellent building review of Dragon SdKfz 250/1 NEU over at scalemates.
