AFV Club have just sent us images of two of their New releases - the Churchill III and a new variant for their excellent 251 series, the Mittlerer Funkerpanzerwagen Sd.Kfz. 251/3 (Ausf. D). The full story can be seen:

Kingforce markings!

Now we can play the 'what is the dark colour?' game in earnest.

- and Mike Starmer will soon gain tax-exile status as his color-guides begin to outsell Terry Pratchett...

I sometimes wish that AFV Club wouldn't give all these 'sneak-peaks' - it only highlights how poorly we've been served with Tamiya's museum piece... (puts on tin-helmet and crouches down )

Guilty - now that I have far too many unbuilt kits I'm having to buy lots of books instead

You might want to look up some thread on the Allied DG there. AFAIK, Chris posted a follow-up and the trailer wasn't that bad after all. I'll see if I can find the thread.

The 251/3 is definitely one that has my interest. Will fill a hole in the 251 line-up for sure.

Two great new kits. It will be really interesting to see how the Churchill works out in terms of details, buildability and accuracy.

Thanks for the update
