Great news! Probably the most requested Allied Artillery piece of the last decade.

Good to finally see a Sexton, hopefully it won't take too long to get it in the stores.
It will be interesting to see the price on the jeep. I thought the cyber-hobby version was highly over-priced

The Sexton II is definitely the popular one it sounds like, but you can't go wrong with any of these choices!

Just wondering if the Jeep (oops ), I mean 1/4 ton vehicle is based on the same incorrect Cyber Hobby kit, or did they remaster it? For those who don't know yet, the grill is noticeably incorrect and the wheel rims are way understated. As for the rest of the model, it either equals or surpasses, in areas, Tamiya's. The price, which is about twice Tamiya's Jeep, makes it a dubious choice.

The Ardelt waffentrager, is this the one which was actually built in limited numbers, and not a "paper panzer"? It could be used in a 'last stand' Berlin dio.

Neat! A Sexton and a Tortoise all in the same year? AND in plastic too?
Could that be possible?
