Thanks, Darren.
I have the IBG Models Kfz. 61 radio truck (and hugely-expensive resin & PE interior set to go with it), so I'm very intrigued by this offering. The quality of the molds will be a question, as well as detailing. Would like to see Aber or Voyager offer some AM PE sets for these trucks, though I realize ICM models are probably rarer in Asia, so that leaves Aber.
In any case, I'll be watching this and probably want to add it to my stash.

I noticed some of the sprues are the same as the truck which has already been released and I am doing the Henschel now and purchased a PE set from Part to go with it. This has made it an interesting and slow build but it looks great. Part also has a hood PE set for those wanting to leave the hood open to see the motor. My only regret was not replacing the long plastic brake rods with brass wire.
Like you Bill I will buy it and put it in the stash as I am doing the IBG radio kit with interior now. Just waiting for Eduards already painted German WW2 radio PE set to arrive for it.
