John Van KootenBe advised that this kit (once again) does NOT include the transmission block (the one that goes under the large cover between the front seats), just like many of the Dragon Sd.Kfz.250 kits. It's the small Y-sprue that actually is included in some of the Sd.Kfz. 250 kits...
Very, very strange, to say the least, why Dragon is leaving it out again, in this new box...

H KThanks for the advice. So this kit is based on the old one Sd.Kfz. 250/1 Ausf. B 'NEU' .. Carrier (Dragon 6100, 1:35) and not on the premium kit Sd.Kfz. 250/1 Ausf. B "NEU" (Dragon 6427, 1:35). Very strange as you say.

John Van KootenYes, that's correct. Based on the original 250/1 (#6100).
None of the Premium additions are included. None of the PE, not the DS tarp, none of that. So the only extra value in this particular Orange Box is basically the figure kit.
Personally, I'm not buying this one. I will just pay a few euros / dollars more and get the Premium version (#6427), which has a LOT more value. I can get the figure set elsewhere + cheaply. And if really needed, you can also still get the #6100 kit for a couple of bucks. Whatever one would do, it would always be cheaper compared to getting the Orange Box. I see no reason for its existence 😛
