Looks interesting. Not crazy about DML indy track links. Would probably opt for the Fruil. For me, the horse is a waste of good styrene. PE looks pretty inviting, though. Is there a release date for this kit? Prices?

First, Horsey! Second, looks like there are two horseys! Either that or its some kind of hybrid horse with 4 halves. Looks like a great kit. I liked the hornisse alot, except for the individual link tracks. Every single track had 2 large punch marks on the inside of the tracks.

QUOTE: its some kind of hybrid horse with 4 halves.

Hmmm, looks like 4 horsey halves with only 2 horsey head halves to me. Very strange horse!! (Maybe the second is trying out for the remake of the Godfather!! lol No, they had a head on that one, didn't have an extra body! Confusing to me. But I'm easily confused these days!!

Yep, those are ejector marks and it's pretty typical of all injected tracks. Not fun to work with. They did a great job molding the tracks for their Elefant. No ejector pins on the links at all. I was hoping it was the shape of things to come, but so far, hasn't been the case.

Great news, but like Leopold I have to wonder what to do with the first one I bought! And as for the tracks: skip them. Go with Fruillmodel or ModelKasten. Yeah they're expensive... but I think our efforts are worth it. AFV Club makes great tracks for M4s and modern USA armor; I keep hoping they'll start with some WW II German tracks (they already do Sdkfz 251 tracks) for the same kind of low prices.
