We understand that other manufacturers are currently working on this subject

Interesting...
Everyone developing new M113 kits but nobody will try a BV206 (an have the market to themselves).

Wonderful news!

Looking at the trend Takom has taken with their kit, looking forward to see at least 3 different releases of the M113.

Cheers

This is great news! Bravo to AFV and now Takom. I see this as Positive news that these two companies are listening to us. Perhaps Dragon will jump in with a proper Bergpanther A or G with winch and all the goodies and renew are love for their beautiful German armour.

It is very nice to see, and will make many modelers happy. Maybe one day they will fight to make my favorite kits. For now, I will build what I have, and may pick one of these up while I wait.

Original Tamiya release is from '74 if I'm not mistaken.
