I wait all those years for one of these in plastic, and we get two at the same time.

I refuse to believe these are just a coincidence!

Given they are doing a Dorchestor and matador it is no surprise as they share the Matador running gear. Just making the most from tyhe existing moulds

Hisham!
You must be right. Some many vehicles could be made and then, all over sudden, two different companies start the production of the same vehicle.
But, since there are two of them, Archer and Voyager will at least start the production of different decals and upgrades. Somebody willing to start a fitting crew?
I personally would rather have seen the Matador truck first. That would have been a good addition to the Bedford from IBG. (By the way, Bedford: has anyone seen Jim's continuation of his Bedford build blog? He spoke about a cliff hanger, but Jim is hanging quite long now..................)

This isn't the first time AFV and MiniArt have released similar models at the same time. Anything going between these two companies?
