Militär 1:72

Besser schaut es schon im kleinen Maßstab aus – neben der Wiederauflage des LKW gmil 5t im Mai 2017, des TPz Fuchs sowie des Leopard 1A1 im Juli des Jahres wird vor allem der aus neuen Formen entstandene Bausatz der Haubitze M 109G im September 2017 für Furore unter den Freunden des „Small Scale“ sorgen.
Auch die Konversion des bekannten T-55 als Version AM/AM2B im Oktober 2017 hat Potential zu einem Verkaufsschlager – immerhin wurde er auch bei der NVA der ehemaligen DDR eingesetzt!

 

 

My German is even worse then my English, but if I'm correct, we are getting those:

 

Reissues with new camouflages:

1) LKW gmil 5t in May 2017*

2) TPz Fuchs in July 2017

3) Leopard 1A1 in July 2017

 

New variant:

T-55  AM/AM2B in October 2017 *

 

And the most interesting, a new tool:

M109G howitzer in September 2017 (cat. no. 03305)

 

* Update: according to official informations, posted on Britmodeller here: Link

All above mentioned AFV, except a M109G, are in in 1/35 scale

Gentleman's Scale??????? Must be very small gentlemen!!. Just kidding! I might get the 1/35 Tiger 1 gift set though. Actually, joking apart, I thought that 1/72 was maybe a little small for AFV kits until I got a couple of Modelcollect kits - The E-100 & E-50 tanks. Little beauties

Well, well; let's hope they do a really good job!!

If they can get it 95% correct I am willing to deal with those errors; as long as it is not something like a 95% error in length or width!!!! 

 

Now, I looked up M-109 on google and cannot find an M109G; there are lots of M109A(insert your fav #)s but no mention of a G?????

 

Keeping my fingers crossed; but finding it hard to hold my X-Acto knife!?!?!??

I assume this is that one: M109A3G, German version of the M109.
