Looks like Bronco has totally exhausted their ideas for new kits:
http://www.dragonmodelsusa.com/dmlusa/prodd.asp?pid=BOM35009SPhttp://www.dragonmodelsusa.com/dmlusa/prodd.asp?pid=BOM35111SPThey must have attended Dragon's "School of Combining Old and Pre-Existing Kits and Calling it a New Release".Hope this is only a temporary measure while they're designing an all new-tool M-10. Or a Daimler Mk II!

BRONCO has done it before- Look at all the different M24 Chaffees that they released, not that that's a BAD thing. Other manufacturers do it as well. I just don't personally care for DRAGON's "hype" when they re-pop OLD kits as "ALL-NEW!!!", with LESS content, for MORE money...

Hi Biggles, I think that AA bofors has been out for awhile. They also make a British crew to go with that gun. I like Bronco models but I think they are more for the "experienced" modeler. Tons of parts. If you don't have patience, buy a Tamiya.I struggled thru a couple Bronco builds. Mostly the PE part of it all. Tiny PE.

That was my whole point if you read the post; the practice of re-releasing or combining pre-existing kits for a "new release"! The previous releases of these "new" kits are still on the shelf at my LHS. If it's cheaper to buy these "kit combo's", rather than individual kits, then that's OK.

At least in the case of the Chafffee's each release was a different version... OK, a couple of new parts.
