Is it a rebox with new resin pieces like the Patriot kit they do?

Says it is a new tooled kit for 2016, but I have seen no announcement from AFV Club. But, it would be something I would definitely like to have.

If they are reboxing Takom's mouldings, them it should be a combination of the latter's MK5 and MK2 sprues.

I love these Chieftains. I'm about to build Takoms Mk 5/5P soon.

Can't be long before the manufacturers start releasing some of the specialist vehicles.

Wow, this really slipped under the radar with no mention on the AFV Club FB page. I eagerly await more news on the subject although I have to say I really like the Takom ones. Not perfect but really nice kits to me. I would love to see a CARRV or an AVRE or Bridgelayer done by Takom or even AFV club. Same as the Leo ARVM's

JW de Boer Spoke to my contacts within AFV Club: It's a hoax, just like the Takom Bieber
