On page 52 of Aprils FSM they list manufacturers new realeases. The ones that intrigue me are Trumpeter’s KV-1 and T-34/76 model 1943. Looks like they may be dabbling into WW II. They are also releasing some Challengers. Next Dragon is unloading many new kits, some were touched on by Captain Caveman some months ago. In case you missed it, some are: Kingtiger (Henschel Turret) due about now, Ferdinand Tiger(May), M4A2 Okinawa(Aug) M4A3E8(Sept), T-34/76 Mod.41(July), Panther G Ersatz(Nov), Stug IV Final Prod(Sept), some SdKfz 251’s in different versions. Italeri: Pz IV F-1&2(spring), SdKfz 230 6 Rad(Fall), DUKW w/105mm (Spring), Leopard A6 EX(winter). Tamiya has nothing listed. ??? Well, that is only a taste, plenty more. I know I better start saving now. [:p][:p][:p][:p]

Thanks for the info Eric.

the Dragon Henshell Kingtiger is out in April, and a StugG III Ausf. G 10.5cm is out in April too, the Stug or Stuh as it should be called has a metal barrel in the box and it has bolted extra armor, two kinds of mantlets (early and late), two kinds of muzzle brakes (optional) for on or off
AFV Club are bringing some brass M26/ M36 shells out
and a Pak40 with PE shields in April
Where did you find out about AFV’s Pak 40?, I’ve been looking around. Any idea what the cost is?
look at Perth Eric http://pmms.webace.com.au/newkitnews/newf.htm
im guessing that the shields PE because these are for it as well as the Pak 43/41 AF35073 Brass Shield Bolts for Pak 43/41 and Pak 40
Thanks Jon. My guess is it will cost as much as their others. They’re also releasing a 251/D! I’m all over that one. Doesn’t look like Dragon’s going to put one out this year.
ive heard from the local proper model shop (onley sell model kits and resin updates) the Dragon are bringing a 251/1 out soon aswell
OK tigerman! you got me drooling now. all those new 251’s coming out! tell me more ![:p][:p][:D]

heres a good site if you like the 251 http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Pit/3515/251/index.htm
You do all know about the Italeri 1/35 LCM3, don’t you?
Forgot to mention that Chris. Wonder what that will look like?
Great, now I’ll have to decide between AFV and Dragon’s 251/D. Maybe FSM will do a comparison work bench review.
Too many kits…too little money. Just my luck. He-he-he.
havnt you seen the photos of the LCM3 yet Eric?
the Horse drawn carts are old Esci ones[:(]
Come to think of it I may have Jon, perhaps in another thread.
