What happened to the tank factory dio?any progress?

[@Scott-hh3gh]

Andy is such a great salesman. I been back and forth on whether to buy this kit or give it a pass, and last month I buckled and pre-ordered one.

[@ytwos1]

Same here. But it is a typical Normandy 44 vehicle and that is my main interest. Greyhound was a no brainer.

[@Scott-hh3gh]

@@ytwos1 My interest has been SS armor which was why I was hesitant in buying this one. None of my references depicted this version used by SS units but this is a break from the track vehicles and should look good in a Normandy dio.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Looks like a really nice kit 🤜🤛

[@canuck64]

Das Werk make some of the best kits out there.... I just love them however, a full interior on this vehicle would have been interesting.

[@hsaurid]

It would be interesting to hear from Andy if he asked Das Werk if they would be adding an interior guts accessory kit later on. Doing a repair site diorama with mechanics maintaining the Puma is a realistic consideration.

[@canuck64]

@@hsaurid Agreed

[@frankstudenski4712]

Also an ENGINE!

[@paoloviti6156]

What a wonderful Sd.Kfz. 234/2 Puma!! I suppose that in reality this AFV wasn't an easy vehicle to maintain with all those wheels that steered... Nevertheless it is considered one of the best AFV in the war 👍👍👍 Good job again 👏 👍

[@dongerber9791]

Looks good, Andy! I’m glad Das Werk fixed/improved a few issues before production. Can’t wait for it to arrive on my doorstep.

[@gregsage5576]

I have so many 1/16 kits to build... This will be a great addition when it arrives... (Pre-Ordered on Day-1... LOL) Now I'm just waiting to pre-order the M113... and excited to see what Andy releases next so he can take even more of my money!!! LOL

[@davidpowell6098]

True, so many kits, so little time.

[@Scott-hh3gh]

@@davidpowell6098 Tell me.... I'm now 70 and must have about 200 kits in the stash, with a build rate of maybe 2-3 a year if lucky.

[@-donkey_696_]

​@@Scott-hh3ghsame boat but only 55 lol

[@mdlbldr45]

Andy is coming out with a M113 ? . This is very exciting news . 8:25

[@derekbaker3279]

Awesome! BTW, since Heavy Hobby has already released a 3D-printed engine (with fuel tanks) in 1/35 scale for the Dragon & RFM Sd. Kfz. 234 series, so they already have the research & CAD work done, I am sure a 3D-printed version in 116 scale is only a matter of time. Of course, a resin engine that size will not be inexpensive, and, unfortunately, I don't expect any manufacturer will make aftermarket engines & other interior parts in plastic & photo-etch (*). Why? Well today's plastic molds are pretty detailed, and plastic parts are far less expensive than resin. so an engine & other interior parts would be much more affordable for those who want to take the next step in detailing this kit, or adding accurate interiors to any other the many other 1/16 scale kits that have been (and will continue to be) released. (*) Perhaps, if Das Werk plans on releasing the other 3 versions of the Sd. Kfz. 234 in 1/16 scale, then enough kits would be sold to justify coming out with a plastic * photo-etch interior (the sections which are in common to all 4 versions, e.g. engine, transmission, driver's stations, radio sets, etc.)?? The same would be possible if Das Werk intended to release multiple versions of the Pz. Kpfw. IV (some of the earlier short-barrelled versions please, as well as StuG, Jagd, Hummel, etc! lol), as well as the Pz. Kpfw. III. StuG III & related AFVs, and certain models of the Sherman as well as the Priest, Sexton, et ), etc., etc..

[@davidpowell6098]

AFV Modeller in the UK has started ramping up their Resin accessories in 1/16th scale. no doubt you may see some for this kit there?

[@DutchDaveModels]

This will certainly be next month’s purchase 💥👍💥

[@ssgtslick]

Thanks!

[@garyb6219]

When I was a kid in the late '60s my dad had an 8 × 4 HO train layout, it was pretty cool. I remember buying HO scale plastic jeeps and other army vehicles to play with on the train board. Any idea on the manufacturer or where I might see some old photos of those? It's haunted me for years. Thanks!

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Wow Andy awesome stuff!!!! So when is the build and paint of this one?

[@terryvallis1436]

I’ve been waiting on this beast! Can’t wait to start.

[@user-vt6bf6lv8r]

Здорово !!! - Но Дорого ! Great!!! - But It 's Expensive!

[@allgood6760]

Nice one Andy👍🇳🇿

[@Rpantherluzero]

Nice kit, Andy

[@SoupWhisper4]

YESS IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS

[@rottiehood3872]

Nice review! The question I have is why aren't the side hatches molded separate?

[@gerardcaillou5663]

Bonjour très belle maquette y aura il un intérieur pour ce modèle 😉 ???

[@keithbosch37]

Very nice!

[@ytwos1]

The plastic barrel is for if there is ever a rerelease where they don’t/can’t/won’t invest in turning a load of aluminium barrel’s you would still have a complete kit.

[@moparsrule862]

I pray they do the other three variants of the 234 family

[@Cormano980]

Finally something to combat the Xion expensive one

[@ka9faxqrp208]

went to order mine its not in the states yet but now it shows out of stock? will it be coming back?

[@legionwearemany9391]

Will we see a marder iii ?

[@stevebrooks1304]

Have Das Werk sorted out there awful instructions for this kit ?

[@-donkey_696_]

Andy when is your canadian online store opening ? Cant wait to get this kit it match the greyhound i won in Hamilton a couple of months ago

[@randallcook1686]

Too bad you did not do an interior with it.

[@danmeehan1390]

Woohooo!

[@olafwustehoff2648]

✨️💯👍👍👍

[@Warshipmodelsunderway]

I'm very much looking forward for the one that I pre-ordered to arrive! It will hold me over someone does the 1/16 M3 Lee/Grant of my dreams .

[@DaveMorgansghost]

Andy, is the 88mm flak shell plastic model in big scale still available? Im thinking it would make a nice urn for me someday, having been a ww2 reenactor!!!

[@maxclickenhof1049]

How about a British kit Andy ??

[@ekspatriat]

How much of these kits are DW and how much Takom?

[@christianschiller]

A lot of DW , believe me buddy !

[@Lee0568]

When are you going to do a quad tractor and 25pdr with crew

[@stil79th]

Andy, si j'ai bien vue sur la notice la plus grande différence entre la version "expert" et simple c'est que les roues sont orientable avec "l'expert" alors qu'elles sont fixes avec la version simple. vous pouvez le confirmer ? Andy, if I saw correctly in the instructions the biggest difference between the "expert" and simple version is that the wheels are steerable with the "expert" and they are fixed with the simple version. can you confirm this?

[@christianschiller]

Yes, you’re right

[@stil79th]

@@christianschiller Merci de votre réponse. Thank you for your reply.

[@glenfisher728]

What a ripper

[@ChristianSchroter-ok4sk]

Hallo mr.head!nice kit they created.but sadly Not my scale. Keep the faith.with sticky greetings from sandy Brandenburg.your modellmate.christian

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

I wish they'd get rid of that stained/aged look of the instructions.

[@Scott-hh3gh]

Yeah.... I can do a pretty good job of that with it laying on my work bench.

[@michaelclarke8507]

Pass on this no inside detail unlike Sdkfz251

[@Bilbirk62]

Interiors are a waste of money. You can't see them so why waste the extra effort?

[@frankstudenski4712]

I would have loved to drop the figure to add an engine. Open rear deck and no engine. So you know a later release is coming, this hobby is so predictable, has been for decades.
