AFV Club has sent Armorama news of a new kit in the works from their sister company Ding-Hao Hobby and nearing release judging by the pictures of this L4500S with MG151 .
Have you ever wanted an eye catching model for shooting down the flying targets? Well this latest kit in the works from Ding-Hao Hobby could be just what you need. The size of the L4500S is a good sized model and with twin MG151 turrets it sure looks the part. I am unsure if the figure is supplied with the kit but it will make for a good looking 1/35th scale model.

Ding-Hao is a new wing of AFV Club.

I guess this photo answers your question? Cheers, Christophe

C.; Mondo COOL! Thanks for posting this. Does look like a MadMax truck. So... looks like AFV Club is probing the depths of the one-offs! (yeah... the photo leaves me convinced that this was no sort of "production" vehicle ) Must have made quite a racket when all 6 guns got going! Maybe a good thing in the inner city to work over the urban resistance folks, etc! Bob

So who is Ding-Hao Hobby?

According to other sites Ding-Hao is an off shoot of AFV...kind of like cyber-hobby to DML

Looks like they mounted these on all manner or mobile bases.

@Dean; That's quite a collection! The street scene looks like maybe an RSO-1 towing a pair of short 4-wheel box trailers, each with a gun? A regular flak-train, if that were the case! The right-side thing is much harder to decypher as to what vehicle it is/was. In any case, there were 3 gun-mounts potentially able to blast away right together - a seeming hot-pocket of automatic spite and anger for some Jabo. It does look like the Jabo won... But then there's that relic Krupp Protze! THAT I just gotta build! I think I already have the bits I would need for the truck... It will apparently need some sort of box-bed trailer - looks like something with wood walls with metal framing back there. Maybe some sort of ex-farm trailer. Given as these drilling rigs must have blasted right thru tons of ammo... they either had a cart-load right with them or in a trailer (or both) - or they would have gone dry pretty quickly. Lots of food for thought, here. One-off city! Mad Max, move over! Bob

Very cool . Hope they also release just the gun mount . I can think of a lot of interesting vehicles to add it to.

Yeah I'd like to be able to buy just the gun too. Depending on the price of this kit I'm considering getting an extra one just to get the two guns and then building a standard truck. I've got photos of these mounted on trains, a T34 chasis, an M8 chassis, and RSO trailers as well. I think the vehicle in the right of the photo above with the RSO is a small truck, but buggered if I can get any decent identification. But looks like you could chuck one of these on prety much anything suitable and get away with it.

Yeah... That separate gun-mount. That's the crunch. Dream on! And if I had my druthers, I think I would really prefer the Dragon drilling - it seemed to me to go together a bit better than does the AFV item, but... it is, of course, the other caliber and you have choices here for 15 or 20mm guns! And one has metal barrels. It does look like these drillings could appear almost anywhere a gun might want to be. Perhaps the most intriguing "drilling" I've seen a pic of is one using a Panzer 1B "fahrschule", or maybe an engineer vehicle, hull with the gun-set stuffed beside the driver! Ah, if only there were some of these separate guns lying around... but I have seen AFV and Dragon 251 drilling kits cheap on the evilbay and at shows, so... bound to be cheaper than this new Ding Hao thing! This truck would, of course, yield 2 guns... and a truck suitable for something else. Bob
