It says German Army tanks in urban combat, the German Army is not fighting in Syria so... There might be a few shots from Afganistan though, I know that Maraders and PzB 2000s are there.

Cool cover photo, but I'm really not looking forward to scratch-building those pallets! Okay, maybe... but I'm already having no-fun trying to replicate the pirahana covers for my Canadaian Leopard IIs. Getting those little flaps to cooperate is frustrating!

Yeah, that is one catchy cover page. A bit like this...



"After Dad packed the caravan, we left for the beach..."

That cover photo is indeed eye-catching but I still wonder what are they going to fill the pages with...

Excellent find, Kylie! Excuse my ignorance but what vehicle is that?

Anyone knows of a similar caravan kit in 1/35?

Well, the title translates into: Tanks of the German Bundeswehr in urban combat.
Looking at the image I feel it is about the training in the German urban combat training areas here in Germany.

hello Armored76,

that would be an M-ATV, found in kit form from Kinetic. Nice to see one in camo, as opposed to plain ol' sand. As for caravan kits in 1/35....

It's a Marder II, possibly supporting Jager troops, who specialize in combat in built up areas.

And wasn't a new Marder posted here recently, albeit in CAD form?
