I was on Hyperscale.com and saw this upcoming release from AFV Club. All I can think is, What’s next from AFV Club and DML?

It looks like a great kit , but it’s a combination 251/1 D with a PaK 40, not a 3-in-1 like Dragon’s offering at least from what the review states. If it’s a 3-in-1, what are the other variants?
Looks terrific! I’ve been considering getting Dragon’s 3-in-1, but I like the idea of getting the PaK 40 at the same time. As for the idea of 3-in-1, the review indicates that you get 3 and 1/2 kits in the box (not the choice of 3 variants as with dragon’s). Here is the excerpt from the review:
" Therefore, this kit was something of a surprise when it showed up, as you essentially get three and one-half AFV Club kits in one box for a much lower price than the kits are separately.
For your forty-eight clams you get the complete AF 35063 Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D kit, the complete set of AF 35044 “Early Model” single link tracks, the complete AF 35071 7.5 cm PaK 40 Antitank Gun, and half of the AF 35075 7.5 cm PaK 40 ammunition set. "
Anyway, I think it looks awesome and AFV club has a great reputation.

I so blew that one. I thought that the kit only came with rubberband tracks. That is a heck of a value kit for AFV. I already ordered Dragon’s Pak 40, looking forward to it.
The tracks need some work to get them to look good and work
theres a review of the tracks on PMMS
I ordered iy from Greatmodels while it was ‘in stock’. Well, I guess you know how that goes…still waiting…
[:D]hi looks like a great kit.[:D]

i’ve read a lot of reviews recently on DML vs AFV, and the general consensus is firstly, and most importantly, that they are both producing decent kits.
the difference is mainly better fit and more after market goodies eg aluminium barrel (DML) vs slightly better detailing but some questions over fit (AFV).
whichever one you buy, sounds like you’re not going to go wrong![:)][:)][:)]
