You can envisage what the "Premium Edition" of the SPH Hummeln will look like. Kudos to DML!

Shame that the Tiger lacks a metal barrel, but otherwise it looks great. I know there are always too many Tiger kits, but a Tiger WITH zimmerit is a legitimate expansion of the range - no one else has done one!

More excited by the sFH-18. Interesting to see how it will compare to the Trumpeter offering. Just need some new vehicle to tow it!

I wonder how long it will take a manufacturer to make a diorama base for the turret of the grasshopper. The Howitzer looks a good choice of subject.

If anyone would like reference photos of the field piece, there is one on display where I work. Mind you, she is in rough shape from decades of neglect.

I too am looking forward to getting this one.
