Hi well we knew it was coming from Great Wall Hobby so here are some pictures from the recent Tokyo Model Show of the forthcoming SWS with Flak.    My thanks to the happy.ap.teacup.com website for bring these to us and you can view other images at their site, including the new AFV Club Churchills http://happy.ap.teacup.com/runchickens/ Alan |

I figured it was heading our way as soon as well. I will happily pay good money for this kit. Chris  |

Ooooo...thanks Alan. That one does look purty. I always did like the SWS' beefy appearance of the tracks. Mike  |

Definitely one to add to the "interested" list for future acquisition. I'm glad to see that the gun-shield is in styrene. The Lion Roar Flak 43 PE shields were a real nightmare. |

Hi I thought just struck me you mentioning Lion Roar and PE. Now that they have entered into the plastic model kit market, under the name Great Wall Hobby, I wonder if any of their rivals such as Aber, Eduard, Voyager etc. will do PE sets for their kits?  Alan |

Saw a pre-order for the "standard" version hauler over at Dragononline.....what is the hauling tonnage of this style halftrack?
What's the quality of this company's releases?
Thanks |

Hi This is a fairly new venture as regards plastic kits, previous to that Lion Roar just did PE sets to enhance others plastic kits. Their first releases such as the Nebelwefers and Motorcycles got very positive reviews but the cargo version whilst given a highly recommended did mention the worrying error in wheel sizes by the only review I've seen of it so far on Terry Ashley's PMMS site. Read here He also has reviews of the other kits in his listings. Alan |

It's a great time to be a fan of German half-tracks, with or without FLAK! |
