The box comes with 3 small stands and 3 251/1 D halftracks. Does anyone know if these halftracks include the options for making SdKfz 251/10 (3.7cm PaK 36)? And if yes, how many per box - 1 or 3?

Is it a valid choice in the lists, if so then yes. If you can wait 6 hours I have one unopened at home and can look after work.

The platoon box comes with 4 halftracks and the option to convert one (1) to the 37mm.

Great, but consider me a noob, and so I am looking at the picture and seeing that all three SPVs have the same MG. However, I know (seen a bad quality review on YouTube) that there are three plastic sprues in that box with wheels, tracks and pioneer bridges. But I am not seeing those bridges on the picture.

No. it's not the platoon box, but HQ. I know that there is one barrel in platoon box and was wondering if the same stands for HQ.

I just cracked open two of them this morning and neither contained the 3.7cm option :(.

The bridges are for the Pioneer version of the half-track, not used on the regular Gepanzerte variant. The sprue is just a standard "one-size-fits-all" thing. Stick em in the bitzbox for later use.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all" Mario Savio

Yeah so just got home and as you will now know it doesn't have he 3.7cm gun. The plastic track sprue only contains 3 MGs, a gun shield and the bridges.

The 3.7cm gun is in both the panzergrenadier platoon and the 251/D blister though.

I guess I'll take a couple of single 251/1Ds from Battlefront (they come with bridges on the sprue as well?), use them as 251/10 and put the bridges on PSC halftracks. The panzergrenadier platoon from BF is quite overpriced - I can get the same when buying infantry stands separate and a box of PSC SPVs - and I even get one extra SPV.

Thanks for replies anyway!
