And there was much rejoicing throughout the land! [wow]

3

This one will be HOT! Lots of folks were waiting for this.

4

Ooooohhhhh, aaaaaaaahhhhh. Any mention of a release date?

5

Wow, how many of you have been waiting for how long to hear news of this. This really is amazing news. Hopefully they’ll continue with the new releases and pump out more Allied subjects.

6

Is that a seperate chassis with drivetrain and engine??? Oh the diorama posibilities.

7

YEAH, YIPPIE, YIPPIE, YEAH…

Now in a quite whisper I’ll say: M3a1, M16, M21

Are my dreams too big?

8

hmmm might have to get this one, it looks pretty sweet! two in one, does this mean you get two, or is it like their three in ones where you get options? I know I sound stupid! LOL

9

2-in-1 means you get parts to build 1 vehicle but 2 options for what that vehicle is. What it really means is you need to buy 2 kits so you can do both! [:)]

10

Certainly on the most-wanted list of so many members. Good luck getting one. I’ll wait until the heat dies down and pick her up on ebay. [}:)]

11

Not that stupid a question given AFV Club’s recent boxing of three SdKfz 251 kits in one box – a true three-in-one concept. I’m doubtful as to how well it’s sold however.

Regardless, the DML US Halftrack kit allows you to build either the M2 or M2A1 halftracks. The M2A1 has the MG pulpit whereas the M2 had the skate rail. They include parts for you to build one or the other. But, like someone else said – just another excuse to buy two kits really!

12

Very, very nice!!

I also want the Sherman III, Puma, Firefly Ic… and it goes on and on!!!

13

sweeeeeeeeet. hopefully it gets a M16 soon to follow. then it’s so long Tamiya!!

14

Wow, this looks cool too, another on the list lol…

Now to talk my parents into it…

15

I want the one with the 75mm howitzer in the back. Come on Dragon you can do it. Weren’t some armed with a 105mm?

16

Well it looks like I’ll be getting Two of them or more.

17

yippeeeeee!!! finally!!! [:D]

18

Yep. The 105mm howitzer armed one was the T19. BTW, they showed the sprues at DX-Europe for a M3/M3A1 half-track as well!

19

Thanks Chris. Do you have a link for the DX-Europe?

20

While not a link to DX-Europe, the following has pics from there. The third pic from the top shows the M3/M3A1 sprues.

Well, back to work on my M2A1 half-track CD…
