Does anyone have any idea when Bronco Models is going to release their
Versuchsflakwagen 8.8cm Flak auf Sonderfahrgestell (Pz.Sfl.IVc)

Wolf

I’m going to answer my own question. I just got an Email alert from Dragon.com. Well I just put one on Pre Order. Should be in sometime this or next month. I will do a box review when I receive it.

Dragon USA lists it as a June release. You can pre-order from Dragon USA Online.

I’ve got one on preorder. They wear suppose to be out in April. Now they are saying late June or early July.

...bought one from my local dealer today. Big but flat box and FULL to the rim. Nice kit!

I remember an article in MM years ago of the Versuchsflakwagen 8.8cm Flak 41 auf Sonderfahrgestell (Pz.Sfl.IVc) scratch build, super job.
Of course the big question is which is the better kit, Bronco or Dragon. I guess we will have to wait until one of our members does a review of them, hopefully soon.

"which is the better kit, Bronco or Dragon"

Hunh? DML doesn't have one in the wings -- only Bronco does. And DML assisted Bronco with their 8.8cm FlaK 41 kit by providing crew and the SdAnh 202 bogies from their 8.8cm Flak 36 kits.

Available at Sprue Brothers, just saw it in the new releases. Don M.

I just ordered mine. I probably won't get it till Monday. I am really glad for this new kit. It has been one of my favorite German vehicles for a long time. back in the mid '60s I had several of these in the MiniTank line, a whole platoon. My brothers Sherman's never had a chance. I may do my first build blog when I get this. Stay tuned. Don M.

We have them available as well.

I don’t think DML will do one. My question is when is someone going to do a set of metal track for this thing? I’m not touching mine until I get some better track (Metal)

@Don;

Hey! Another RoCo MiniTank platoon-leader! Me, too! Had I think 10 of these - still have a few intact and paint-free after about 45+ years (some others were painted in, of all schemes, "the DAK look", and others still in fanciful "forest" schemes using the availble Pactra olive Green and brown - I still have those, too...)! These were my very favorite "go-to" tank-killers in the backyard lawn & garden wars against the Shermies and T-34 crowd fielded by the loyal opposition guys! As I entered the 1/35 armor arena in 1970, I immediately started dreaming of seeing one of these in a "real" kit... and tried to scratch one ! What a laugh that was ! And lookie-now!

We seem likely to be seeing one or more of these showing up built on these pages pretty soon, I should think! Maybe you...

Bob, glad to hear I was not the only one with the Minitank Platoon. We had a lot of fun with those, me and my brother Mike. We spent hours with those, I do remember painting up a few also. I'm sure none of the camo schemes were close.
I got my kit in tne mail Tuesday, and finally got to look at it at length last night. This is my first Bronco kit and the attention to detail is amazing. There are a LOT of parts,a LOT of tiny, tiny parts. This is a kit not for the beginner by any means. I was hoping for a quick build, since this is one of my favorite vehicles, but that aint gonna happen. The tracks alone have two seperate track pins for each track shoe. Check out the pics below. More Later. Don M.

Jump in there Cody the waters fine.







Be careful the instructions aren't perfect,not as bad as DML
which is a plus.

Have fun
Tony lee

alright, that does it..Im crackin one of these open... still have 6 left if anyone else wants to swim...

Tony, looking good sir. I hope to get some build time this weekend. I have been doing some research trying to find some AM tracks to fit the bill to avoid all those track pins. Don M.

@ Don I've already tried and for the time being there are none available for this beast. Have Fun

Yea, I did not find any either. I'm hoping one of the AM track guys will step up and do a set for this. Don M.

The closet to it is regular Panzer 4 track, but the shoe aren’t wide enough. I’d like to see Frulmodel to do a set

Come on guys you're falling behind



I'm having a blast with this kit
