Good idea, the 262 is the next plane on my list. The Krad has been shipped so I'll soon see if it will tow an XD plane and post a video of it.

The 8.8 cm "Puppchen" is very cool, and it looks like a fairly easy kit to assemble as well, should make a very nice accessory for towing behind my Tamiya 1/16 Kubelwagen. Any idea what these will cost...?? I can't seem to get any info in this regard from the AD site, I suspect it will be a bit pricey, but then again it's a very unique piece.

Am I seeing correctly? Does the Kettengrad have no drivers position? No seat, no well for his legs?

Kinds of reminds me of the 21C 1/6 Humvee with blacked out windows and no access to the interior. Sales went through the floor as soon as buyers realized the vehicle was like a motorized solid block of plastic.

I'm a big fan of Andrew products (I have a few in 1/6) but this 1/16 Kett won't fly without a drivers position.

Yes, unless I'm missing something too, that does appear to be the case... here is a pic of the parts sprue... http://www.rctankhq.com/images/Advertis ... gn/kk1.jpg
I guess this was a compromise that was necessary in order to have RC capability..??

When I noticed that it got me second guessing whether I would get one.
So would a driver figure be a waist up? I can't see that looking good on motorcycle type seating. If they offered a correctly molded insert for those more interested in the modelling aspect, that would be acceptable.

Too bad :(

>>> Has yours shipped already ? ... Why would you have to check on availability & ¢o$t ? ... Should'nt you already know this ? ... "Unless you're just referring to the distributor". :?

........... sounds contradictory

I guess it sounds contradictory, but the one on its way to me is a pre-release review sample. I can't release price/distribution info yet, sorry.

I just go Dragon's 1/35 Sdkfz/2 w. 8.8cm Racketenwetfer 43(Puppchen)..but I would love to have either the infantry car or just the Ketten's trailer in place.

actually I could use several infantry carts, for Kubels, 250s and just getting lugged by tired infantry.

btw, are those metal treads?
