I bet MiniArt will be quicker (to issue it)

I think MiniArt would be wise to offer this kit in 1/25th as well!

I bet MiniArt will be quicker (to issue it) [/quote] I mention IBG only because they already have the molds. (I think I noticed that you recently built the truck minus the crane. Does that mean we might soon see a Famo mounting this crane coming out of your shop Angel? I am certainly considering a similar course.)

Mike, I used the standard IBG's Einheitsdiesel kit(#35003), not the one with the 3t. Bilsteinkran(#35006). My FAMO will be F3 type hauling a Sd.Ah.116 with a Bulgarian StuG III as load.We bought 2 sets(FAMO F3 plus Sd.Ah.116) from Germany in 1943. Later on- in 1945, while fighting the German Army in Hungary, the troops of First Bulgarian Army captured an intact Sd.Kfz.9/1 Drehkran Bilstein(Hebekraft 6t)., that was put to use immediately. Here I'm wating to see how the announced Trumpeter's kit #09576 will look like. The other Kran in use with Bulgarian Royal Army was Kfz.100(5t. Bilsteinkran on Buessing-NAG 4500A truck)-1 piece was deivered in 1943 and used in Assault Gun Detachment's organic Repair and Maintenance Unit.

Cannot wait for this. When I saw the T60 with a crane I was hoping this would be released. Put me down for 6 and then a load more. So many trucks I want to convert to wrecker/ recovery. This and a leopard ARV. This promises to be an excellent year. Regards Jason

Fantastic reference panamadan!

Actually picked this one up at the local bobby shop the other day: (So I thought I would show some "inside the box" photos.)

Looks like a lot of sprue clean up but zero flash to contend with! From what I can find reference wise cable (thread) rather than chain would be more correct for rigging this little crane. Save the chain for use as vehicle detailing!
