Bronco Models has just been in touch with a list of their upcoming releases. This batch covers track sets for the Chaffee, some new armour and soft skins and as proof that Bronco Models is listening an interesting development on the Horsa.

Hmmm.....is the sWS a rebox of the Great Wall/Lion Roar effort? Just wondering. The Horch radio car looks interesting.

Joseph that is possible as I have been told Bronco has done the same before with the addition of some of their own touches.

100% it is GWH cooperation. The separate tail looks cool

I think it can be used in vignettes, etc.

I think I'll take one of those Horch radio-car kits, please!

The s.WS Uhu has to be a rebox of the GWH effort... It cannot rationally be anything else! There could be no realistic reason for it to appear in the Bronco line-up unless it were a rebox! The entire thing is complete fiction - no such "duck" was ever even dreamed of, apparently - let alone ever built. See Terry Ashley's comment on the GWH kit on PMMS - and of course related discussion elsewhere, too. So... Not even a "legit" "paper panzer"! But I'll bet that it IS a cool kit!

By me, the original Bronco beute A13 kit was pretty cool, if a bit of a technical wrestle, etc. I managed to build it, anyway - although I simply did not know what technical errors abounded! Maybe this new kit has some or many of the apparent errors corrected... But I've already spent my model bucks down the A13 path, so... The included UE trailer was possibly towed by one of those "command tanks" during Barbarossa... Clearly, now that Bronco has tooled that up - it comes in that Bronco Flammpanzer II kit - it could be showing up wherever a small, ex-French tracked trailer "wants to be"! Maybe Bronco will see fit to release it as a stand-alone kit... I'd buy a couple!

There's a picture of one of the UE trailers being towed by a jeep in one of the books

BRONCO has also released a pic of the box top of their upcoming 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.A- check the pic on PMMS "New Kit News", BRONCO...

Yes, I like the mk 4 with ue trailer, it looks to be a good build, I hope it comes with workable tracks, for both.

I was hoping they would have said that they would release the Maxxpro soon... But not this month either

IIRC the LR SWS engine is provided as a separate upgrade
Set separate to the base kit, though Bronco might change that.

With their Pz. III Ausf. A and MiniArt's D, the Pz III series will be complete in styrene.

Then we have DRAGON re-releasing the same Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.E thru Ausf. Ns over and over again... DRAGON could have cleaned up if they had done the Ausf.A thru Ausf.Ds. Personally, ASUKA or BRONCO would get my votes for an "all-new" M3 Light (Stuart/Honey) series of kits, along with an M8 HMC, and (one of each) an M3 (Lee/Grant) series...

BTW- DRAGON will be re-releasing quite a few of their 1/35 kits that have been out of production for a while... Panthers, T-34s, Pz.IVs, a couple of M4-series, and more...

Not having room for the horsa, this set would be just the right ticket for a dio.

A bit off topic- I'm kind of surprised that there haven't been more builds or chatter over the 1/35 ICM Horch Typ 1 kits... Or maybe I've just missed them..?

Most likely AFV Club will be the only ones considering an kit of those tanks, since they have produced the kits of the M5 and M3A3 lights already.
