I found this on the Hobby Fan/AFV Club site.

Now, it could be a generic pic, indicating that they have a 'secret project' underway, it could also mean something different.. What it? A Stryker? ...Jim



UPDATE... it seems as if they use various images for upcoming products, however this reference number isn't listed at all....

Jim,
I think that is a LAV 25, could be wrong but Idon't think it is a Stryker, looks to narrow.
Regards,
Robert

Looks kind of like this Finnish vehicle I know of called a 'Pasi' or something.

Sorry I misread your original post, I thought you were asking what the picture was not what I thought the secret item was.

To explain, we have all the reference numbers of all the future releases (such as the Flak 18) The -80 number doesn''t figure anywhere. Bet it's a 251 Ausf 'A' ...Jim

Jim,
Could you give us a link to the site you originally got the pic from?

I'm with Jim, it's a 251Ausf A! And they want to release it before Dragon releases theirs...

Cheers and Happy modelling!

It actually says 'sdkfz251 ausf a under the pic !
From that link go to AFV Club, 1/35 special....

And after their other beautiful 1/35 scale kits I was hoping it would have wheels and be green not grey or yellow.....................

Actually, the ones in the "1/35 special" page have different product numbers than the one Jim is talking about.

I've just looked again and you're right - so would they release 2 SdKfz251 ausfA kits? If not then the original question remains - what's the one on the other section gonna be? Hopefully an allied subject!
