Looks fantastic!
And ik makes me want to have this kit but it’s hard to find one…

Thanks Bert; it does seem to becoming difficult to find. I must admit I’ve greatly enjoyed scoping what was what in devising the Dutch version. It’s easy to get carried away with What-If projects, but I like to think I’ve just about got it right. If not, I’m sure I’ll be told very soon(!)

It’s apparently going to be re-released by something called “DRAMi”, which I assume to stand for DRAgon Models isomething.

Well, that’s good news then; I do have one in the stash awaiting completion as envisaged in German service, but nice to know it will - hopefully - still be available.

I can see me getting yet another one, though have no real reason; I’ve the Kpz earmarked for the Bundeswehr version What-If, and 2 x Commander MBT-70s in the stash. There’s obviously something addictive about the MBT-70!

You could have warned me about that

Haha! I think it goes back to my childhood: I remember watching footage of this on our creaky old black & white TV set. Of particular note was the suspension raising and lowering. It also appeared in my weekly comic, “Eagle for Boys” - just in case there was any doubt as to who the intended audience was(!)
It featured every week, a cutaway drawing, normally an aircraft or AFV or warship; it showed the amazing MBT-70 - albeit with a driver in the hull - but then, how would they know otherwise? This must have been around 1964/65 - I was hooked. It just seemed incredible. Mind you, to a 10 year-old boy, any AFV looks incredible.
Fast forward a million years, and at long last I’ve got one (two actually with my Dutch iteration) in model form. Yeehah!
Sorry, showing off a bit(!)

Hi folks, now that we’ve reached the end I’ll draw up the final list and get it posted here for confirmation before sending it to Jim. If you didn’t make it to the finish line do not worry - BTTNW5 will be starting shortly and unfinished builds will be welcome there!
