The Citroen-Kegresse P28 resin kit is now available from Retrokit in 1/72nd scale. This is kit number R72060 under their Retrotanks line of military vehicles.
Initially a limited released under the Minitracks label, the resin patterns have been significantly reworked with a different parts break down. They also have been improved for accuracy with additional reference material found since the original release.

But you say you haven't heard for the P28? Considering that fewer than 50 were built, most of which spent time in the workshops for repairs and modifications, that might be the reason why. Three were confiscated by Uruguay, one of which survives to this day. Those in use by France appear to have been used against the German Blitzkrieg. Perhaps not the most notable half-track to add to your collection, but surely one that will make your friends wonder what it is.

If it's anything like the Tanake I reviewed and built, it'll probably be a pretty nice little (ugly) HT. WarHammer? Do look it, don't it? LOL! Mike p.s. "ugly" as in it is quite the ugly half track.

Here are the 3 P28s purchased by Uruguay. They were used by the Metropolitan Guard for riot control in 1933-1934 and were the first Uruguayan AFVs : and you'll find some pics of one of them preserved in a Montevideo museum here : http://atf40.forumculture.net/t3232-citroen-kegresse-p28 P28s in French service : http://www.chars-francais.net/new/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=793&Itemid=36 HTH Frenchy
