Sorry Vinnie, from the picture it looks like the late version with the small turret, not the short-run Luftwaffe variant with the folding body sections - shame!

I know............I've just looked. I knew it was too good to be true. Still! It's another 251! You can never have enough German Halftracks. And this one looks brilliant.

Very nice! But I thought for sure the next one would be this....




Not the Marder...look to the right. A new MODERN tank perhaps? Mabye...no other clear pics from the show on this...of course it may be a rerelease.

It's a teaser for their forthcoming, promising and long awaited NEW M1A1 AIM kit (#3535)
