Have you seen these "new" model kits out yet ? There all "ColdSteel" versions. What I saw that first appeared on the scene here was the "Sherman w/75mm.gun" and the Panzer IV-H a couple a months ago. Then just recently I seen the "Mobelwagen" and "Wirbelwind". I found the "Sherman w/75mm.gun" at a Wal-mart here reduced down to a whopping $2.oo !! That's about it. What other versions have you seen ?

Just saw an M-113 kit at WM, I'm still looking for the German AA...I like the idea of these kits, but oddly (at least where I am), they sell for the same price as the completed vehicles...WM should pass on to the consumer the $0.13 per hour savings they get for bypassing the Chinese labor...

I like the idea about these "new" kits too,and I agree they should be a little cheaper... Oh well. Now that 21st.,has made their assault on Wal-mart, I don't think I'll get anything "on-line" again unless it's something really hard to find. "Lets face it, you can't beat their prices". Especially during their reduction sales.

I just have to add something else here:.......Last night I put together that "Mobelwagen IV., and I must say that,that was a s.o.b. to put together. I managed though w/o really breaking anything but I did have to use a little glue and replaced both screws. They strip very easily. I would suggest the pre-assembled one........and while putting together this thing, I noticed something different about it that I did'nt notice about the pre-assembled version before, there is a 3rd.,look to it other than what you see on the box or what you see in the instructions. You can place the armored plating in such a way that you can give it a 2-sided "funnel shaped box. This is the way it's supposed to look I think. "It's bad". Instead of that "boxy-look" that's featured on the "pic" on the box itself............Anyhow, I could use a couple more of those "L" versions. I found a pre-assembled version at W-M recently marked down to 11.00 "bucks".

Saw those a while back and they're now gone from the store that had them - but not before I picked up a Wirblewind AA gun. I like it, but had nearly glued the top armor piece to the bottom section of the turret before I realized that it should be left unglued so that the sitting figure could be placed inside easily.

Yeah, good thing you didn't do that. You could've broken something for sure. Too bad your W-M ran out of those "L's", you could've sent me some perhaps.
