From our friends at heavy steel, http://groups.yahoo.com/heavy-steel, comes word of what will be displayed in 1/48 scale at an upcoming hobby show in Tokyo:
Bandai 88mm Flak 18 re-release
Tamiya 32514 Panzergrenadiers
32518 Pz IV Ausf J
32519 Panther Ausf G
325XX Soviet infantry/tankers

Trumpeter 0501 M4
502 M4A1
503 M4A3E8
504 M4A3
5XX T-34/85

The M10 is described as having both open spoked and press type solid roadwheels and idlers, separate tools and a nice gun breech. Set includes US jerry cans as well. On another quarterscale site, someone in Japan who has seen pics of the MKIV in a magazine said it comes with two types of idler wheel. Gaso.Line already has an 85mm aluminum barrel for the T-34 for those of you who like adding AM to your kits.
Enjoy,
GLenn

Correction: Tam 32519 is the M10 mid production vehicle . The Panther is not yet numbered.

I was recently checking out PMMS and they have both Tamiya's Pz lV and Panther slated for October release.
Now who's going to produce some Sd Kfz 251's?

At the moment, only Gaso.Line of France makes a 251. It is resin so it is expensive.

I'd wager that the Hanomag will have to wait as the tanks get done first. But then I'd never have anticipated seeing the Citroen, so don't listen to me.

I'm with you, Larry. That Citreon came off the wall in my opinion, but I'll bet it induced quite a few aricraft modelers to buy it. I'm looking for SkyBow to give us an APC,... perhaps 2 versions; a B and a D.
