That's all very nice, but when are actually going to see these kits hit the shelves? BRONCO has been advertising these kits for months; several of them for over a year...

Interesting, the orange colour of the CAD tracks looks a lot like DS colour to me.

Thanks for the update.

Not to be a buzzkill, but I don't think the jeep and gun come with the kit. They are not "called out" on the poster on the PMMS New Kit News site. Hopefully the gun will show up in kits both with and without jeep soon.

Please give us the Max Proo kit also, as you have had that kit now for over 1 year as a kit you will release... If it shall take that long time it's better to not tell that you will release it once in the future...

About these kits, yes they look nice and are welcome...

I don't know the record for long time between announcement and release but I think the first Dragon Ostwind was announced sometime in 2009 and finally released in 2012.

I was anxiously awaiting the Versuchsflakwagen from Bronco and if I remember correctly it took some 6-8 months from the first news to reach the shops.

About git dang time someone released the Tet! I dumped my Accurate Armor kit a few years back as I have caught on a realized that if I bought a kit in resin, it would be released in plastic a few years later!

AFV CLUB took FIVE YEARS from when they first announced their 1/35 M5A1 Stuart (Early) to when it actually hit the shelves of the hobby shops. I admit, BRONCO IS quicker, but it seems like the manufacturers always seem to side-step some kits that they've already announced over kits that they haven't even mentioned. I'm happy that SOME manufacturers are finally releasing some of the long-awaited kits in favor of the constant repetition of the "same old thing"... I.E, Tigers and Panthers...

The pic in the first post of this topic looks like an invitation to make the interior from balsa wood. There is a resin kit of that one available at ~€100.
