Big day for new announcements out of Tokyo. Don' t miss that AFV Club has announced the M5A1, due Feb '07


The DML M4A3 HVSS 105 and Sherman III build ups were shown. Hopefully you also caught the news of Trumpters line of 1/35 US Halftracks (M3A1, M3A2, M3 75mm GMC, M16MGMC, M21 Mortar MC).

Considering the high regard that most have for the M3A3, I hope this one is equal or better as it's definitely going on the "must buy" list. Feb 2007 isn't that far off!

Couldn't have said it better myself Bill!
Have been holding out until this announcement, as I have been wanting to build one for some time, and wasn't going the old Tamiya route...

Greetings all,

A long over due replacement for the old Tamiya kit. 'Murphy's Law' that I just completed a conversion to a late version :-) :-) :-)

This one along with all the half tracks will be most welcome.

Great news

Cheers

Al

Another one scratched off the wish list with a sigh of relief! Again, finally!
