Hi Jm, Excellent news for Allied modellers. The No 19 Wireless Set is just what I'm waiting for and I'm sure the M4A4 direct vision hull will be a useful addition. Thanks for posting this, Formations have some great products.. Cheers Al

Fantastic news! These are two very welcome additions to the allied range, especially the radios! It was difficult to find well designed nš19 British radios! AA had some but not very detailed and you would only get them along with some of their packs for British vehicles! Otherwise you had to scratchbuild one! So, this is a great set coming! Cheers and happy modelling! Prato

That picture of the M4A4 certainly makes it look wonderful. $45 doesn't seem to be too steep a price either, considering what all you get in the kit. Looks like a very good addition for Allied modelers.
