I hear that DML messed up and used a female mule. Someone will annouce a resin correction conversion set that will accurize the female mule into a male.

That's just the prototype. You can tell 'cause its still in its red oxide rust coating. Looks like a bit of dark yellow on the nose though.

Can anyone translate the text under the picture?
I used Google language tools, and I've tried to make a bit of sense of the answer. What I got was this:
Something that a paratrooper shows to an onlooker: Probably a soldier’s joke, they have made an “armored animal”, equipping it with a Panzerfaust 60 (with protective shield from a Panzerschreck 54) and radio equipment (however probably fake or not working).
I'm not sure about the rest, but I think it means that the soldiers took the animal to show to civilians so they could make jokes, and the last bit is some reference to finding girls.

Well I for one don't find this in the least amusing! I nearly spilled my coffee all over my brand new keyboard. (I think I stole that joke from Dave) Here I was waiting to see which Tiger DML had decided to make for their big announcement. :-)

Not to be outdone,
Tamiya will be releasing one in 1/48th.
Also word on the street is that Trumpeteer will be doing the eastern front version,with 2 sets of hooves,with pre knee sag built in.
CMD is designing a resin A/M radio set,though complaints are that it is textured too much.
Accurate Armor is searching the storage area of Bovington, to see if the British counter measure vehicle "Lord Mountbatten's Mount " is still in the hidden area.This is,of course,the British version,armed with 2 60 lb. aerial rockets,mounted on a sheep.
Bugger.
Mk1
Aber does have 2 PE sets ready to go,though the "schtinken flappen kover" is the wrong era.
Cavilier is looking for photos of any with zimmerit,to produce accurate manure pile design coating.
Fruilimodelismo has the early and solid hoove track sets,but many people think the Dragon "Magic Hooves" are better value for money.
Ja.

This is a very funny photo, but its ironic that something like this is actually being used in IRAQ. Insurgents are using karts being pulled by donkees which lobby rockets into our bases.
No joke, its actually true.

Sorry,Jenny.
The elephant was the model with the 1.28Cm howitzer.
The 88 was mounted on the camel,and was only deployed in the Afrika Korps. (++) (++)
