Probably spelled it wrong - sorry if I did.

Has anyone seen any pictures yet?

The Revell Sd.Kfz 7 is listed as the /1 (the quad 20mm flak variant) but looks like the normal troop carrier doesn't it? Doesn't Revell already offer the Hasegawa 7/1?

EDIT: just came across this pic, looks like they have the 7/1 on display too:

Already listed on Revell site as kit 03195 due May 2013, not the old Hasegawa kit.

Also the pic from the toy fair in the earlier post is a 251/16 Flammpanzerwagen (revell kit 3197) not a 7/1, there is probably a sign next to it just from a different angle. I found a listing for it but no pics other than the one from the toy fair.

Sorted by brand, but not scale...

I just came across this list of new items announced at this year's toy fair:

www.ipmsdeutschland.de/Ausstellungen/Nu ... _2013.html

Most of it is aircraft and AFV sets not relevant to this forum but middle of the page under "figuren" there's a long list of 1/72 scale figures (look for the 72 in the column to the right of the description).

I've seen most of these sets reported here or on other sites but this is the most complete list of upcoming Zvezda figure sets I've seen yet (the list on PSR is not up to date). Some new info in there as well, the next Art of Tactic box set will be Battle for Moscow 1941 (some CAD images from the mini-kits popped up on the web over a month ago) and the "WWIII" art of tactic game will be "Battle for Oil." I think this list is the first time I've seen names for the mini-kits from this new modern art of tactic game.

Also very interesting is the listing for "French Line Infantry" set 6802 (and the two Russians nap sets) - which does not say "Art of Tactic" - this supports something zzed reported in the thread about the soon to be released set 8078, that the three nappie sets will be big box and not mini-kits despite the set # starting with 6 like the mini-kits.

Finally, looks like Samurai Battles will finally get some more love from Zvezda with an expansion called Ninja Attack (not sure if that was previously announced). Most of the mini-kits were already announced but I do see new ones (for example 6422 Ashigaru Yari with Cloaks).

I can't find any pics of the Zvezda booth (the Zvezda facebook page is not updated) and keep in mind that set 8078 which will be out in March was announced at the 2011 toy fair (I think, maybe earlier) so we may not be seeing some of these sets for some time if at all.
