Nice.

I guess the tires are made of the same material as their DS tracks?

It's rather odd, that even at HK prices, DML's 25 is around TWICE the price of Bronco's.

Anyone imagine any logical reason for this?

Jim if it was anything WW2 German I would buy DML 99% of the time the 25pdr is not German however. This 25pdr is a better option than Tamiya and a lot easier build than Bronco, however if you take a look at the previous offering I did a build review of on Armorama you will see most of the issues I raised with the initial kit are still present here. I am sorry to say in my opinion this model is not worth anything like the premium price being asked and would go Bronco everytime.
