Nope More or less:

I wonder if the 2.4 MFU in the new M16 will be a straight swap for the old one.
Depending on how good it is it could kill sales of the Elmod board.

What do you mean? I have a pair of the old M16's. Are you talking about if the new M16 board sells as a spare?

Why not? Everything else is up for sale.
I have an Elmod board in my M16 and I like it very much but it was not cheap so if I were in the market for another M16 I would check out the price of a used one and the price of a new MFU.

Ahh, looks like I'll have to keep my eyes peeled and get one if they become available, then try it for a swap in one of my standard M16's. Thanks for that

Good morning,
I've an M16 and an M3 build slated for one of these years soon so this is very interesting news. The Swimming Kubelwagen looks neat and as I have one of those Hooben Elefant kits, I'll be having a close look at the lower hull from Torro\Taigen as well to see how it might match up. Wonderful new things coming around for us all.
regards,
Painless

I find the Schwimmwagen most exciting. Depending on the price, it could open a whole new builds chapter

The elefant looks like a built up hooben, the wheel covers and tracks look exactly the same.

I would be more interested in a 1/16 DUKW it would be good of itself but a bit of cut and shut would make a working Stalwart far more doable.

OK, so twice the length of a KT hull but with no overhanging fragile bits. Not much bigger if you include the gun!
