Huh... Didnt know there was a kit for the Heuschreke...
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I remember that from many years ago but it was an odd scale as I recall. However, the good news is that Trumpeter is supposed to release a newly-tooled 1/35 Heuschrecke in the not-too-distant future.

1/30th scale IIRC. I think I still have one squirrelled away in my unbuilt kit stash.

Okay, I dont have that many (I think). But its indicative that I havent built a model in probably 5 years - and those were snap-tight Japanese anime mecha kits. Okay, now ya'll know one of my other interests And I've never really painted any of my kits, although I did have some painted for me... Neil

I had the kit many moons ago and it was in fact in 1/30. No interior detail in the turret (pillbox ?) at all, not even a gun breech. and the rails and gantry were very rudimentary. On the plus side it came with a blow molded base that could be painted. there were at least three other kits in the series all based on the PZ IV chassis, a JGDPZ IV/L 70, PZ IV H and a Hummel. brings back memories

Ebay it if it's not dear to your heart. Then get the impending Trumeter kit. My two cents ---
