TAKOM 2213 1/35 Sd.Kfz.250/9 Half-track Model Kit Unboxing Review

Brief Summary: Full interior design, rich details, good configuration, and high cost-effectiveness. There are a large number of parts, which makes it difficult to build.

After releasing multiple variants of the Sd.Kfz. 250 half-track model series, TAKOM presents this variant Sd.Kfz. 250/9 half-track model kit armed with a 2cm autocannon.

For this new release, the upper hull and turret are entirely new toolings. The kit features a complete interior, functional suspension, movable tracks, photo-etched (PE) parts and a driver figure included.
The main sprues remain identical to those of the earlier anti-aircraft variant TAKOM 2211 (Sd.Kfz. 250/4) Half-track, so only the newly-molded components will be covered in detail below.
