Tigerman, yep happened to me when I did the Flakpanzer 38(t) aka Gepard.

Bish is right, all of the Bison IIs were sent to N. Africa. Didn't have a very stellar service career either...they kept overheating and breaking down due to the over-stressed chassis and desert conditions.

I've had my eye on this one since it was announced a few months ago. I'm a sucker for SPG's with the SiG 33.

This IS very cool. Were these used anywhere other than Africa?

I believe that only a handful were made, 13 seems to ring a bell. And they all went to Africa. But i ain't 100% certain.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

We have Tony to thank for this...if it hadn't been for his kitbash/scratch-build effort, DML wouldn't have announced a kit of it just as he was finishing his.

It's on my wish list but I will wait a while for the price to come down before picking one up.

Isn't that always the case? LOL I was in the middle of my old Italeri Marder III H when both Tristar and Dragon announced a new one. Bang Head

Didn't that happen to you recently Bill on one of your WIP's?
