Great news

I wonder how many more versions they'll do?

At least one company realizes that we don't all want crazy German armor (an exaggeration, I know...)

Are you sure that this is not some hideous joke, a three man turret and markings for three New Zealand vehicles in one kit. This is just too good to be true. My financial advisor is not going to be happy.

cheers
David

p.s. pitty they didn't include a 3-in howitzer

To quote Dire Straits "That's the way you do it!" well done Miniart on a very overdue and welcome release. One thing that has appealed to me regarding Miniart releases is the Marking options. Six marking options is something you rarely see in Allied releases and to offer options like Malta and NZ is brilliant.
My Only Complaint is that they frequently get the descriptions and Decals colours wrong but they are welcome none the less. A+++ for effort.
More Plastic Insulation for the house.
Overjoyed
