This kit looks like a 'must buy'. Has anyone seen the new AFV Club Diehl track as shown in the post above, and does it include the correct drive sprocket?

This looks like an attractive and very different subject, and as I didn't even know it existed in model form, thanks for the link....Jim

Hi Paul

I think the right sprocket for the later Diehl tracks is already in the kit, the Diehl tracks shown in the review are the nylon ones, no sprocket included, although AFV Club and Elite from Germany already have the Diehl tracks with seperate links in plastic

hope this helps

cheers, Kees

Howdy case,

Thx for the heads-up on the YPR reveiw!

I do do modern armour (at least lately.....been on a spree as of late). So the YPR is a definite 'gotta have', if for no other reason than it's variant possibilites!!! And everybody knows how I feel about variants!!!

Thx again,

Tread.

I have the kit already, it really looks brilliant as always hi quality from AFVClub.

There is a dual set of sprockets in the kit, so I think t for the ones for the later Diehl tracks are in the kit.

In the army, I was a driver on the YPR765 and M113 so also memories!! :-) :-)

Well, not to complain about variants indeed ..... the PRI, PRAT, PRCO and PRMR versions ...... would be nice to dig into that when the kit is on my bench .....

hmmmm when they also can come up with the 120mm HB Rayé mortar to match the PRMR version ....... it's mine !!!

Howdy Danny,

As usual, the gentleman. I'm in no real rush Eagle, I was just trying to get a 'rise' outa ya!

I've got enough on the plate, as I'm sure you do too.

Regards,

Tread.

BTW Eagle, I have checked with the Campaign links and can't find the 'Market Garden' Campaign listed. I also tried clicking on your provided link and can't come up with anything....................can you help?

Tread.


Since your Campaign is called 'Market Garden', does it include produce of some kind? You know, fruit's and vegetable's???? ...............hehe...... #:-)
