In his description of his video Andy says he will reveal a Top Secret kit!

He has build 1/16 tanks before so I'll keep an eye out on his channel.

With regards,
Rob from Holland

P.S. Also a nice review of the 1/16 Wiesel kit!
Seems Andy's big reveal is a 1/16 scale Stug III G from Das Werk...

That's solves a problem, I have wanted one of these for a while but was disappointed with the detail on current models.

Ordered in time for Christmas

Nice static kit. Hope they will leverage their Pz III chassis and develop other variants.

If it fits the Heng Long R/C lower. There is no guarantee it will.

I see it’s made by Takom so certain to be nicely done. On the flip side if it doesn’t fit HL, should make an ideal candidate for RC conversion given availability of parts.

C'mon, we are modellers. It's not a difficult modification. People make such combinations all the time (i.e using Trumpeter upper hulls or turrets on existing chassis).

Agreed, it should be simpler to mod the HL hull and kit deck to fit than motorise the kit hull. As said elsewhere, we need more 1/16 kits :thumbup:

I hope that in Takom fashion they will milk that molds and make late version also ;)
