Please forgive me if this has already been discussed here but I've been away for several weeks and this announcement has got me really excited!

I know ICM has a very long waiting period between announcements and releases but at least we have a slim chance of seeing a 1/35 injection molded G4..the last one was the ancient Tilt release (and that could cost you about $250.00...if you can find it!). Looking forward to this one.

The old kit of the Mercedes G4 was produced by Tokyo Marui in 1975. The Japanese logo accidentally resembled the English word "tilt," but that was never the company's name. I've got one in the stash.

The TILT one is worth $250.00??! Holy Toledo Batman. I got one of those puppys in my stash. It comes with some figures. Hitler doesn't look much like him though. It is molded in color and has a clockwork spring operated motor.

I did a review of it on Cybermodeler years ago.

If somebody wants to buy it at that price, it definately is for sale.

I looked for that Tokyo Marui (thanks for the correct name Gerald) model years ago (in the '80s) and couldn't find one. Now I wish I'd looked a little harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WON'T be the one shelling out the major $$$$ for this kit...I wait and shell out the major $$$$ for the ICM kit!

PS:....I read your review on the Cybermodeler site back then and it got me interested all over again.

AHH! That Henschel 33D 1 truck sure look nice. Are these 2011 news, or just "sometimes in the unknown future" news?

Jacob...I think it's "sometime in the unknown future" news. The Stoewer was announced a few years ago and has just been released. Patience ! Hopefully they will release it soon!
