opens the box on one of the re-released European Buildings series.
I was not aware that the Germans fielded flame-throwing halftracks late in WWII, so I was happy to pick this boxed set up and see what was inside:
This set for Flames of War allows you to build a platoon consisting of two flamethrower-equipped halftracks. The set also includes a Unit Card; newer versions include two cards (including SS version).
Inside the box, you get four plastic sprues, a ziploc bag of metal parts, something wrapped in bubblewrap, and a Unit Card in a plastic envelope.
The plastic sprues are for the standard SdKfz 251 halftrack, two per model.
Inside the bubblewrap are two resin interiors, replacing the standard halftrack interiors.
The ziploc bag contains four crew figures, molded with the flamethrower projectors and gunshields as one part. (Newer sets also include SS crew figures.)
Note that assembly instructions are not included, but are available on the company website.
This is the standard Unit Card; new sets also include the SS Unit Card. Hmmm… Careful and Reluctant, but Veteran? Sounds challenging.
