MSRP: $8.65 Website: www.afvmodeller.com If you are not up on the latest issues, the dollar is on the rise against the pound. If everything is right in the world, that means you currently save almost $8.00 per issue over the cost of these EXCELLENT magazines. The subscription cost is still almost $70.00 for a year.

The Stug III mineroller was a neat conversion piece. The TLAV kit was neat and the sprocket was very weird looking. The SdKfz 232 was an interesting diorama constructed from a few photographs the builder had found on the internet.

I would like to thank AFV Modeller for the review sample and IPMS/USA for a place to post this review for others to see and read. If you are a tread head, like me, then this is a magazine for you. |
