I have the first test shots of the Das Werk 1/16 Sd.Kfz. 251 D, and It's Spectaluar ! 

Putting the 251 up against the Stug and the Tiger shows just how big this vehicle was in real life. Awesome looking kit.

Stunning, I hope they release a set of troops designed to fit this model. Got 2 on order👍👍

Im definitely going to be preordering this. It'll be my first 1/16 scale model

That's YUGE and beautiful! Nice to see the larger scales coming out! I built many many 35 scale... This is incredible!

Anyone else remember trying to build the old 1970s Tamiya 1/35th kit?

Cant wait for this!! Looks great!

Wow, I was hoping for 1/16th 251. Having it towing a Pak 40 would be epic, so much possibilities!

5 minutes into the video and I ordered it. First order from you, can't wait for September!

Wow that's a fantastic looking kit from das werk definitely going to get this one nice one Andy Steve

Outstanding Video of a great kit. Can't wait until the one I ordered arrive..

Ordered mine when you first announced it was up for preorder. I am beyond excited after seeing this!!

CAN NOT WHAT TO GET ONE, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SEE A FULL CREW FOR THIS KIT WITH R OF THEM ON THE MG42

Wow, looks awesome!

Detail like this, and this scale, make me want to finally buy my first 1/16 model. Just amazing detail! Love Hanomags!

Just received mine today (thanks Andy) and it is packed with parts!

It looks fantastic, great job. Next wish is the SDkfz 9 Famo

Incredibly impressive. But the size...I still don't have a final home for my StuG, sigh.

this looks very yummie 😍 happy modelling XL 👍

Sweet kit

thanks Andy I can't wait to build it

Nice job Andy!

Nice kit. In Mai there was a real Tiger 1 tank here at the Militracks Day in Overloon, Netherlands. And several Sdkfz's of most types. 150 German driving vehicules in total.

Very nice Andy, I think I can find room in my stash for it. 🙂

This is a great kit. Mine is on pre-order! Looking forward to seeing you at IPMS Annual. One thing that could be improved on in general (in 1/16) is start to have figures in character (ie working, conversation and action settings) but not in resin. A more affordable plastic I believe would or could be acceptable. Having figures to the 251 D would be AWESOME!

Can’t wait to see it painted

Looks great! Let’s see what trumpeter can come up compared to this🎉

Its a stunning kit. I think you should suggest to Das Werk that they bring out a kit of the chassis with tracks and wheels. That would be a brilliant kit on its own

This kit looks awesome

Dammit Andy you’re making me spend more money! 😂 Cannot wait for this one!

WOW! In addition to being totally blown away by the detail, my initial thoughts include: (1) Das Werk MUST offer a version with a TRANSPARENT HULL!!! (2) Das Werk MUST make the FRONT WHEELS ABLE TO TURN (steering)!!

Ordering mine. It's breathtaking.

Wow Andy! I have wanted a 1/16th (or holy grail 1/8th) SdKfz 251 for years.... Great looking model

Nice to see PROPER details on the tyre sidewalls.The new standard please.

Can't wait till my pre-orders come in. Think I will put one at the top of my build list, knocking the Tiger down a notch.

Can’t wait to get mine she is beautiful 👍

Outstanding video.

Love that Tiger you put out. If it’s not the Hanomag that gets me to jump, it will be that Tiger!

The mass and detail of these 1/16th models are just impressive to look at. My 1/35th scale days may be coming to an end...

Thank you.

… f a n t a s t i c…!!! I hope also for a full interior Tiger I e Panzer III…. 👍😃

Nice build for next inter and it will lovely together with my Trumpeteet 1/16 Jagdtiger.

Wow! That looks so good you don’t want to paint it!

Way awesome kit.

wow! got my preorder in!

Looks awesome 💯

ANDY; *'It is beautiful.....!'* Gollum ME; *'Yes it is! Give me MY precious!'* 1/16th scale is simply the best,. A modeller's dream!

Fantastic !

Amazing!

Das ist ein Muß man haben...wow tolles Fahrzeug..

Andy for president!!!!!!!!!

Super video and super model Andy, but after the tanks and haltracks, it would be interesting to also produce motorcycles like "Zündapp KS 750" and "harley-davidson motorcycle "iron horse", which are almost impossible to find in 1/16

Ну привет… наконец то дождались!!!

Have mine ordered already

Omg incredible!!!!!

Andy, please develop an "Andy's Hobby Headquarters" WW2 M2/M3 U.S. Half-Track or support Das Werk to develop one in 1/16 scale. What a complementary pair this would be.

Definitely want to get one those, been waiting for a long time. Just pre-ordered, thanks Andy.

A cool "companion" for the Trumpeter M16 Quadruple indeed!

That is quite nice.

Needs a full squad of Wehrmacht boys! Hopefully they capitalize on this and do exactly that as an aftermarket.

Re: the steering wheel. The Ferret scout car (and the Saladin/Saracen as far as I'm aware) also had a similar inverted steering wheel, never had any problems using it.

is there any glue involved in securing the track links together or they snapfit securely

Very nice!! 👍👍

Looks amazing , I hope they alter the text on the tyres , it's Continental for reference not Coninental 😂

Soviet tanks in 16th would be nice. Is2 and is3. Su152 and isu152. T54/55/62/64/80/90. BMPs and BMDs.

I'd love to make one of these with a squad of infantry jumping out, similar to the old Tamiya kit. I imagine suitable 1/16th figures will be available eventually?

Hello, a video showing how to paint the chassis and the interior, with the different colors is possible? Thanks;

Yeah the track pads were to short in the fb cad images there looking into it

Not as hard to drive as they look! I had a drive of Peter Jackson's OT--810 a few years ago. Heaps of fun, until on of the lads snapped the gear leaver off!!

Interestingly the British army’s reconnaissance vehicle CVR(W) Fox from circa 1980s had the steering wheel in the same position

Andy + are they going to come out with a flack 88 millimeter gun to go with this as well they are starting to produce a lot of 1/16 scale armor kits now just curious

Looks really nice, one could even say impressive ! Plenty of Detail gives me hope that there will be no need for aftermarket-products to get a stunning result and a widely correct recreation of the original vehicle. Nevertheless, this gives many options for creating a diorama scene, so I hope there will be a set of crew-figures and accessories released for this kit, like it happened for the (also incredible) Das Werk STUG III ! Thanks for presentation, Andy !

looks like I'm going to have 2 of these because before I saw this model I ordered the 1 from trumpeter 251 with 800 parts in all coming in at 77 euro it will be nice to see if there is a differ between both of them if any

gotta have one wait I already pre-ordered one lol

beautiful..still room for super-detailing in the engine, and half the radio equipment is missing, but it's apparently a great foundation for a brilliant model..

Did I just see some slide molding??? Ha ha. Now this is a really cool kit, maybe after my next military retirement check, I might be able to make some financial adjustments and purchase this kit. It sucks being on a fixed income, scrimping and saving, oh well, ha ha.

AAHHHH! You're killing me! Can't you use your connections to build some US figures and armor in 1/16th? I know they are German but not everyone is a Werhaboo. I would like more WW2 US diorama abilities with the armor and figures to do it. (Like 1/16 tank riders for your Sherman).

Great set! Excellent detail! We will wait for his appearance in Russia. Thanks for the review! (Отличный набор! Отличная детализация! Будем ждать его появления в России. Спасибо за обзор!)

Nice looking kit. Would still love to see a 1/16 M1A1 Abrams tank. 😊

Maaaaan those Kar 98s are stunning! Something about the MGs stocks seem off. Or maybe it’s just my bad eye sight lol😅

I think the towing hitch receiver is upside down. It should be even to the ground. Ref. Panzer Tracts No. 15-3. Though I'm probably wrong. Am about most things!

I’m a little disappointed the late version of the hood isn’t available as an option

Hello Andy Thanks and congratulations for your channel!!! I,m a Spanish modeler Could you tell me the measurements of the vehicle?? Width and long Thank you so much!!!

So, how many variants are coming, a 251/9? 😝 251/2 should be an easy one to do. 251/22 or 23 or the 11 Yummy

The steering wheel on the Ferret scout car of the British has a similar angle, it is awkward at first, but doesn't take long to get used to, I love the detail on the rear of the clocks on the dashboard, they are begging for wiring. What an amazing kit.

Now we’re talking in 1/16

Diorama base with two 1-16ths is going to need to be at least four square feet.

When you get a 251/22 in 1/16 - I’ll be interested. I agree with Andy - the German designers did no favors for the drivers - seems the wheel for the driver in WW2 German AFVs was very bad as far as far as ergonomics for human drivers. Also the made the 251 in the Ausf D variant - would prefer the earlier version for those doors - but that would be much more complicated model - considering all the time they put into the engine, etc - would prefer less engine stuff and more external work - like early version doors and add ons to make different versions

imagine a tiger 1/16 with full interior 😯 I would pay so much for a kit like this 🤣

Just seen the sprue shots for Trumpeters. Its ummm well errr a little less detailed I think is the polite way to put it... It seems DW Rocked the 251

2 OF THEM ON THE MG42

这个要赞🎉

Damn!

Weird steering position! I think its a winner!

Ok how about 1/24 scale military equipment. I would pay 150.00 it .

This kit is begging for figures....They have to come through on that or it will be a let down.

Andy - is there a wiring diagram for this model

Hopefully in the future they will make 1/16 Sdkfz-222 , Sdkfz-234 Puma , Sdkfz-7 and Sdkfz-9 Famo in injection kit

I can't take much more of this. LOL

cool:

I'm first
