Coming Soon From Bronco – “Pheasant” 17/25pdr Gun Crew ( Tunisia, Sicily, Italy )

.

Remember the days when if you wanted a British Artillery crew you were pretty much stuck with the Tamiya figures from the 25pdr or 6pdr kits ? It’s great to see Bronco doing crews to go with their guns. Here’s hoping they keep this up with all their kits.

New From Bronco – 8-RAD Panzerfunkwagen Sd.Kfz.263 Mod.1939

.

This is some of the best news all year ( well, it was sort of announced a while back as a spoiler when AFV Club announced their 232 but you get what I mean ).  There’s actually half a dozen new Bronco announcements but I personally found this to be the most exciting so I’ll do the rest tomorrow.

Tamiya Re-Releases And Make-Overs

.

Tamiya has a number of kits being either re-released, or given a make-over to create a slightly different variation of the existing version. Their Hetzer gets the Aber PE Addition treatment, the Tamiya/CMK 35(t) and their LRDG Truck with Italeri 20mm Breda get rereleased unchanged, while the Italeri Commando Jeep gets two of the figures from the Tamiya Churchill VII kit to create a European SAS Jeep and the Tamiya Kubelwagen gets teamed up with the ICM Soviet Staff Personnel set to give us a “Russian Commanders and Staff Car” set.

New From Voyager – Photo Etch For The AFV Club Valentine Mk.II

.

Please note that the photos show this set on the model together with the PE35467 set. So it’s best to use the photo of the actual fret to get a better idea of just what is and isn’t in this new set.
