                        I noticed these releases early in the week. I may have to pick up one, but as with most AFV offerings their cost-to-value ratio sometimes puts me off buying their kits. Maybe these will be a bit more reasonalby priced, but I haven't seen any projected costs yet.

                        The 251/9 and 251/22 just got added to my wish list. I don't know what it is about half tracks, allied or axis, but I'm fascinated by them.

                        Wow, given AFV quality and all, I think I know where I'm headed for some new kits, regardless of the price. I like the idea of releasing a "line" of variants of a vehicle all at once like that.

                        The 88 looks very interesting. Finally a detail horse for this gun.

                        Excellent ! I'll have to start bugging my local hobby shop. He seems to have a really hard time getting AFV, but I like their kits. No more expensive than Tamiya, but subjects that usually no one else has done before.

                        Brian, did you get the impression that it's not just a knock-off of the Tamiya gun, and that it's really an 18?
