I hope its not a problem me posting this here! I just came across this on Pro arts website, finally a pic of what the set will include. This set looks stunning, I think i'll end up buying about 3 of these at Euro :-) Now I just got to do some research on what each of the radios are. The BFT screen looks real good!



On another not I came across the set for sale on ebay-hmm thats not right, they shouldnt be available until Euro....

Are these fakes? Im guessing so, this seller has lot of pro art stuff for sale but doesnt mention the name pro art..hes in Belgium aswell...

Rob,

I believe he's Dirk's Other "in country" distributor.............

Dirk also has them listed as available...............

Woah, now thats a lot of gear, perfect for your Humvee's Rob!

Lots of usefull stuff in that set. Thanks for posting.

Eik

None whatsoever, but do you have a link for the company website? I'd like to run this as a proper news story at some point..Thanks, Jim

As always, Christophe, thanks!

Rob
Check this out and read the threads, you and I think alike. I wanted 3 as well but Matt said I only needed one ;o)

Matt-Thanks for clearing that issue up on the other distributer.

Bill-With the amount of Humvee's we plan on doing I think 3 should cover it :-)

Rob
Three each...;o)
They are sweet looking things, I think Jan Goos did the painting of the models. One of the forum members had an advanced set to add to his project, can't remember his name but he was Swiss, if memory serves me, and he did that fantastic M1078 mother ship, is it Seb?
I'm sure I'll be set straight soon enough, perhaps he'll be kind enough to do the review????
I heard a rumor that Pro Art is doing a PE slat armor for the Styker as well, should be news soon.

Bill--I am almost certain it was Seb who built the M1078 mother ship and used the pre-release radio sets.

This set is now near the top of my must-have list!

Wow, a lot of "firsts" in this radio set!

What's really cool is that it went from analog to digital. "Firsts" are SATCOM, encryption systems, laptops, mini-portable secure walkie-talkies, digital cameras, fire control, antennaes, and walkie-talkies. I've been waiting for such a set for a long time!

Well I can see a few things in that set I could use for my Abrams (and future HMMWV's). Wake up credit card. Time to do your thing!

Fantasy wish list.
What I'd like to see next is a decal sheet that would articulate the tiny numbers, screens and general markings on these sets (and others). I don't know about you young fellas but trying to accentuate these fine details makes my eyes hurt.
Bill

ok....... so the letters on my keybaord are about 3/16" tall that makes them 1/64" tall in 1/35 scale................. Hell, white dots are close enough......

Ah Matt, but it's all about the details.
Bill

Break out the Microscope..................

awesome some interesting kit ,will look good on my king tiger with zimmeritt

Dear All
Dirk was very kind to send me some of this stuff especially the laptop and some Tac sat radio and the beautiful Digital Camera.
These babies are so good, you must have this kit
Check my M1078 SF vehicle to see some of them

Cheers
Seb

That is a kick butt radio set.

Really nice work

Does anyone know if this kit is released yet and what the price is?

It seems to be out.... there's one or 2 on ebay for about 45 bucks. IIRC the seller is one of Pro arts dealers somewhere in europe.

We will have it within 2 weeks time.
