tone, i'm planning on scratch building a flakpanzer 38(t) based on tamiya's Marder IIIM kit. ive got the alan kit just for reference and maybe to scrounge some parts from. mine's gonna be decked out with italeris flak 38, PE fenders, Eduard flak 38 detail set, friul traks, and whatever i need to scratchbuild. its going in a dio. ive got a fairly good amount of reference if ya need some. ive been researching for about a year. also, get the friul tracks my friend, they're a godsend compared to the ones alan gives you. trust me. i havent built mine yet, but its gonna get started soon.
BTW- i agree, dont look for this or many other pz 38(t) kits comin from tamiya soon. they're workin on newer AFV's, their tiger collection, and etc.etc. those little tanks just aren't, in their eyes, what everybody wants.
