It's the same kit - Tamiya #35020. But apparently if you have some
sort of preferred customer number with a "PCS" in it you can get it
for the reduced price.

At the end of the day it's a lousy kit -- something like 8mm too
narrow.

Cheap and a fun build. Want to kit bash onto it with all the variants
and paint jobs, go for it. I seem to recall its the most popular kit
sold. In part lots of 'art supply stores' carry it for $16 or so and
compare that to the $50 kits, flies off the shelves.

cheap and fun seem out of fashion. but at least there's one person who knows
why i'll build forty-eleben versions of the lindberg ar234. bldg 19 once had
the 234-163-335 kits for a buck each. the manager sold all his leftovers,
about 60 kits for 20 bucks. there were a few 190's, 100's and 162's.
i still have 2 of each.

Cookie, do you know if Tamiya #35147Sd.Kfz.251/9 Ausf.D Kanonenwagen
has the same problem?
I picked one up cheap to sacrifice on a SciFi wargame project, e.g.
http://z11.invisionfree.com/Work_In_Progress/index.php?showtopic=8872
but if it's a better kit than the 251/1 I'll hang on to it as a future
build possibility.

Regards,

Moramarth

Totally new kit - not related to the C model.

Thanks - in that case I may spring for some individual-link tracks for
it.
