New 15mm accessions … October …

(Skytrex AB-41 Armoured Car)

Following the AA gun, there has been a little spurt of output … the Sahariana patrol has been awaiting completion.  The wait has been for Battlefront to stock and send goods – but after 7 weeks I gave up on them and bought the items from Skytrex who delivered with 3 working days (what a contrast!!)

The AB-41 is a nice little model and looks good in all respects.  It cost the same but is all metal, of course (so you might think it better value) …

I was also waiting for tow (Sdkfz-7) for 22nd PD’s artillery support.  I have tried 3 times over the course of 2 years to get one from Battlefront but to no avail (it seems another of their perpetually out-of-stock items) but again Skytrex have a metal one (in this case cheaper) – see the full review …

… and I have provided something new to tow that Red Army AA gun …

OK – nobody makes that so we’ll have to go through the building process on the modelling page … it is made from a PSC T-70 of course – and was a fairly simple project.
