Hi guys, yep already started a new project after finishing of my Dio T.R.T.B., i've chosen a kit from ALAN this time (see picture) . It's a Marder II D for another campaign . I can tell you this kit is great and fits very well it has nice decals and even a pe-part is in it. More pics to come in the feature

Any comments are welcome

Yes Eric, I did the Alan Flakpanzer recently, & was surprised how well it went together for an East European kit. Obviously not up to Dragon standards, the Flak38 was a bit vague, & I seem to remember there was no detail on the inside of the wheels, but you can't see this when it's together. Overall the effect was quite good. The other thing is that they are prepared to model vehicles that frequently crop up in wartime photos, but are ignored by the mainstream manufacturers.

Being a light tank fan, I've built a few Alan kits. I agree, I think they are solid kits. I like them. I've been wanting to try a Marder.

The output from Eastern Europe is on the increase and each new release shows improvement over previous ones. They might not be up to Tamyia or Dragon in terms of detail or drop together assembly - yet - but within a few years, they might well have overtaken them.

Plus, as has been noted, they take the plunge with previously-ignored subjects, which is to be applauded.

I totally agree that Eastern Europe kit maker subjects are getting interesting. That's the reason why I can't wait to build my Alan Bison 1.

The East European kits do offer challenge and interesting subjects at very reasonable prices... but if I try to tackle more than two in a row, I have to shake a Tamiya box and drop out a kit just for therapy. I will be very interested in your progress on the Alan kit... I've got a couple in the stash that I might get to just for another change of pace

Hi ther Agrillion if you want to build Alan's Bison I i have to warn you because it's a very hard one to do, the baddest kit that i have build from them ever and i build a lot of Alan tanks like there are Marder II D - Bison I - Bison II - Panzer I F - Panzer II J - and still to make the Gepard
