AFV Club has released some stunning pictures of a built and painted Sd.Kfz.233 8-Rad with 7.5cm Gun. I thought this was announced some time ago, but who cares this looks stunning.

Hi Darren

You may be thinking of the Bronco one, which was announced some time ago but hasn't seen the light of day yet to my knowledge.

Good to see AFV Club bringing it out, I'm sure it'll be well detailed but unlike Bronco's models of the past, not going OTT on lots of fiddly little parts when one would do just as well and as detailed.

Yes! This 234 is one beautiful-ugly vehicle, know what I mean? Has a charm that's entirely it's own. I'm pretty sure this can be used across a wide range of campaigns too. Thanks for the news!

Nate - this is a 233; quite different from the 234 series.

It was announced quite a while ago, but with a photo and no release date. It is good to see that it has finally reached production and the build up looks very nice.

Hi Darren, thanks for posting.

I've just finished few days ago the 1:35 sd.kfz.251/7 Sturmbrucke from AFV: a lot of details, so many pieces and good quality.

If the standard is the same, this one should be a great build.

Cheers

Giovanni
