Ace Models of Ukraine send us news of a new short run 1:72 scale plastic kit that is sure to interest braille scale German Armour fans.

Kit number 72271 - 7.5cm Pak.40/2 auf Sfl II (Marder II) SdKfz.131

The kit consist of six plastic sprues, photo-etched tracks and a decal sheet for four variants. The photo etch tracks are a nice touch and are very similar to those featured on recent 1:72 offerings from companies such as Mig Productions. Seeing these included in a plastic kit is a welcome addition, and they should allow for much greater detail than plastic or vinyl alternatives.

Haha! Maybe!
Actually I have never built these etch tracks in this scale, but in principle it sounds like a good solution. I have heard however that people have had issues even with the etch tracks in Migs recent 1/72 kits.

I'd be interested to see how the ace offerings fare.
