Hmmm... I wonder which will be better, Bronco's or Italeri's? More importantly, I wonder which will make it out first?

who will be first really ? I think better is most important .
The Italieri Staghound at Nuremberg was a prototype your guess is as good as mine as to what the final product will look like, but the Italieri kit looks like an early Staghound, so I will build both I guess. The Bronco Staghound looks like it's about ready to go and seems to have a lot to offer open engine deck, hatches, vision ports, periscopes a gun and more.
I just hope that the humber will come out at the same time and won't be put on the backburner.
That would be one hell of a double bill.

It looks very nice, indeed, but Bronco doesn't do anything fast, so it appears their capital is very limited. We've seen the test shots of the Humber Scout Car too, but it has yet to appear. They had test shots of the Comet up for many months before the product actually reached the distributors. Their Hotchkiss kits were promised for over a year, and Trumpeter actually got an entire copycat series into production first to saturate the market (gotta love that competition thing).
