1/48 Sturmtiger coming from AFV Club

¹⁄48

Wednesday, December 24, 2008 - 01:23 AM UTC

2009 is sure to be a great year for quarter-scale fans. Those already familiar with the excellent 1/48th scale Tiger I kits from AFV Club will be happy to hear a 38cm Sturmtiger will be released in the new year.

No pics are available yet, but the new kit will use the same chassis as the 1/48th scale Tiger I kit. After the release of its 251/1 Ausf. C half-track, AFV Club seems to have a line-up of exciting quarter-scale kits planned for 2009. The price should be comparable to the Tiger I kits -very affordable.

I can hardly wait to see what else they have coming out in 2009. Maybe they will scale down their Hellcat and Stuarts????

Is this a new confirmation by AFV of the release? Because the Sturmtiger was announced a long time ago. I hope so, because their 251 looks like a great kit Hisham

It's not just a news announcement: I've actually held the built prototype in my own two hands. I can assure you that armor fans, not just quarter-scale fans will be very pleased. Merry Christmas!

Ted, Did you get any news on the LVTH-6? They've shown photos of a built up and painted model for many months but no release date... Cheers, Christophe

Sorry for my tardy reply! No news yet, but we'll be seeing a lot of surprising new releases this year from AFV Club!

I don't see myself buying the Sturmtiger. I don't get excited about tanks that there were only a couple dozen of. I am, however, excited by the fact that they are making more 1/48 kits! The Sdkfz 251 looks great and I'm hoping to see more.
