Bronco Models has just sent Armorama an update on some items announced in March, but they have also updated us on the Mittler Einheits PersonenKraftwagon Kfz early version, which was announced in May last year.
Bronco Models produces some stunning models and the latest update from them looks to enforce that. The 2.8cm artillery gun is a model I know very little about, but looking at the update the gun can be shown on or off of the large wheeled trailer. Bronco Models does do a good job where artillery is concerned.

The Mittler Einheits PersonenKraftwagon Kfz early version when announced last year caused a stir and this update indicates to me that release is around the corner. There are a host of finishing options as regards the roof and even the bonnet can be shown open to reveal the full engine nestling in the bay.

The two sets of British paratroopers have some nice inclusion in the form of photo etched parts. There are photo etched weapons slings, something very rarely included in a major kit let alone a figure set. The spokes for the wheels on both the motorcycles and the pedal cycle are of course photo etched offerings. It’s hard to believe that it was not that long ago that getting paratrooper figures was a resin option for the most part, Bronco Models has put a stop to that me thinks.

Any WW2 plastic figs excite me but this whole British Para tangent Bronco has been on definitely makes me want to do an Arnhem dio. Their box titles got me, I guess they technically are in 'action' poses, just not firefight action. Love the Horch and 2.8cm sPzB41 too.

The four in the announcement above would look good walking down the side of a hedge row.

Old Horch never die. It just fade away. But I still like Italeri Horch.
