This might have been discussed before on this site but this spring Ive seen adds for upcoming releases from Airfix. Tonight I saw that they’re releasikg an M5 Stuart and a Pz. 35 (t). Surely this must be reboxes of the Academy kits? I mean, in all my years in this hobby Ive never really seen any 1/35 armour kits from Airfix. What are peoples thoughts on this?

Here is the 35(t) they’re releasing: https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/german-light-tank-pz-kpfw-35-t.html

Hello, Henrik!

AIRFIX will be releasing re-boxed ACADEMY 1/35 Armor kits. There will not be an M5 Stuart; what AIRFIX will be releasing are the two M3-based Stuarts, i.e, the British M3 Stuart ("Honey") and the US M3A1 Stuart...
