why are trumpeters anti aircraft half tracks gun shields photo etch only ?? they should give the modellor the option of a plastic gun shield as not everybody likes working with photo etch ... including yours trully

apart from that it looks a big improvement on tamiya's kit and £20 cheaper than dragons kit here

That's a good point. I have no explanation, other than to presume they are looking for a point of differentiation between themselves and DML.

Congratulations to your epaulettes Bill.

Well-derserved and it is also good to have beyond the pond at least one staff member
with knowledge of the German language.
