Re: Old kit help?

The older one includes the transport bogies and also has a length of black plastic tubing...I forget what for. I seem to remember that it included vinyl tyres for the wheels. The newer one contains a few of the 'old' sprues spiced up with a new set of Luftwaffe crew figures and ammo baskets. They might even be a couple of turned brass rounds...I'll have to check (I've got one). Both kits include the Zündapp motorcycle but oddly, half the crew in the new kit is wearing short pants with sleeves rolled up and the motorcycle rider is wearing a greatcoat. If I'd had the choice, I'd have bought the old kit. The new one isn't a whole lot better and the omission of the transport bogies is a big mistake in my opinion. It looks like a rush job. Trying to upgrade old kits on the cheap to compete with Dragon. But I'm being picky...it's still a good kit that might find its way onto my bench sooner rather than later.
