OK OK. Not enuf responses? I'll pop for what, nr 9?!
New mule. YEAH! Let's have one!
Hey! I'll be in line for it! Let's hope that it actually does some justice to the various things which loiter salient about this beast - like its suspension and ideally some correct running gear - wheels, etc. Sure could go far to make this new release a success! Not that the old Italeri kit is all wrong - but something a bit crisper and with some improved details and the like, and better tracks - yeah, BETTER tracks, I say - would be greatly appreciated by some of us!
As I'm a flak-38 and flak-truck/track fan, getting a mule and loading it up with a 2cm pop-gun is really in the soon cards - I have the -38 kit ready!
I confess some slight (but rather pleasant) surprise, though... given the D's track-record with that Blitz - an icon and a standard German thing if ever they kitted one - only to have it kitted as a white box special by CH... - and here we look like the D is going to leap right into a general or standard "SmartKit" release of a mule and skip past the added price and limited access provided by the WB format! I LOVE it! Great decision, by me! Of course, once I get one, and start into that Flak 38 to mount in it, out will pop, like rabbit from a white hat, a CH special of mule-with-flak gun! But at least that would be a "special" (but not one-off) version and thus more appropriate for that WB treatment.
