They are not in the official list of exhibitors (neither as AFV Club nor as HobbyFan). But maybe they share a booth with someone else...

Yes, it's Nuremberg. They posted their booth photos yesterday - before the fair officially begun. There is a poster (not visible in photos at Takom's FB page) on the back wall of the booth with all three new kits announcements.

AFV Club models can been seen on Astromodels booth. Meng has been there in, I think 2012, For most companies, the cost for a booth are to high, and one has to consider that you need at least three persons to run the booth. Hobby Boss is at the Trumpeter booth.

It's quite difficult to get any decent real-time coverage on model kits in the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Only when the companies begin posting in their own websites and blogs do we receive more information, typically a few days after opening.

Real-time as in real-time, just like what Dengeki Hobby did in the All-Japan Model Hobby Show last year. And yes, I know all of that, kudos to all the model kit blogs and Primeportal for their efforts to cover the Nuremberg Toy Fair.

I attended the show many years ago when it was so important to the toy world that I had to stay in the pre-Internet version of an AirBnB room in a couple's home. Hotels were sold-out continuously, since before the show even ended, occupants would re-up for the following year.
Today's Internet world means that Meng, Takom and other Asian firms don't really NEED a show like Nuremberg, which is expensive as already pointed out. It would seem as though expecting to see the latest items there will go the way of the LHS.

Hi Hisham,
Thanks for this good news.
Hopefully they add some Dutch decals as well.

AFV Club are normally present at Nuremberg via their European importer (an Italian company, possibly Astromodel?).

Hi!
Regarding the Gepard, doesn´t it look on the poster picture like the side skirts being on the vehicle and the netherlands radar? Would make it the PRTL Cheetah.
Well, very small picture indeed...

It is just a guess, but if you look at Gepard part of the poster, there seem to be two tiny almost identical images of the model and I think they may show German and Dutch versions. So maybe it is 2-in-1 kit?...
