Posted over at PMMS. It is listed as a "future" release, along with the M42A1, 40mm bofors and a T34-85 with full interior.

Hmmm And if they say M41SPH that should indicate a M1A1 howitzer? There have been aaaaaaa lot of talking from AFV Club lately but not much hockey played (as the saying goes in here in Sweden). Considering their usual release pace there are now listed releases for the next 6-8 years on PMMS. I wonder how many of them they actually will release and how many of them that will come out before thier competitors have released their versions.

Better to release actual kits than just releaseing announcements...

Cheers,

Another mix of fact, fiction, and desperate hope - I suspect. The 17pdr and 25pdr are not likely now that Bronco is actually producing British arty. And that M42 duster has been in their "future releases" section for several years now! Pity, as I'm sure they could really do a nice job...

Since the PMMS News Report was solely based on AFV Club's catalogue (not DIRECTLY from the company), not one of these releases is confirmed from within the company.

PMMS have an identical problem as we have with AFV Club - they've gone 'dark' for the last few months since they changed their staff.

So, going on that basis, and bearing in mind that AFV Club announce (but rarely actually produce) how credible is that report?

Now, we have used Catalogues as the basis for News Reports (we did it earlier this year with both Trumpeter & Hobby Boss), in that respect, these two companies are much more reliable. AFV Club, quite frankly, isn't
