I'm also curious - I have done a little research on the SOL one - it's supposed be a bugger of a kit, lots of warped pieces, some so bad they're unusable - but, it does, make a Hetzer. Whether that be a slightly warped one or not, it's still a Hetzer...

I don't think you can buy the Blue Star Models one anymore anyway? Though correct me if I'm wrong.

That's Blue Star vs An Bri though? Or is the An-Bri now SOL?

If it is, that would be disgusting if they copied it to make money and take advantage of Andreas Brinker dying.

Does the SOL tank look like the AnBri kit? I would say no. Still, I can't find how the link helps. Maybe I am missing something?

Soeren ......Correct the Sol kit is much like the Blue Star kit.

Andreas' kit is not like either kit . It is his version of a hetzer but it's not as accurate and uses panzer III running gear. I've built both.
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Another resin version. Like mine they require quite a bit of patience and do have nice details.
