I just noticed that BF 251 plastic sprue is available for separate order. It includes tracks, wheels, gun shield with 3 MGs AND pioneer bridges. The cheapest price I've found so far for this was 1.80 pounds. Only thing which makes me wonder how easy would be those bridges to mount on PSC halftracks in terms of length. Unfortunately I don't own any of these yet so I cannot make any comparison. Has anyone come up with this idea and tried this as well? If they match, that would mean cheap 251/7 Pionerpanzerwagen for everyone at 4.77 pounds per one (taking PSC set at 14.85 GPB - Maelstrom standart price + 1.80).

I know that PSC promised their own upgrade sprue, but it appears to be somewhere in the pipe and I doubt the results will be much cheaper (the price for "reinforcement" sprue is definitely NOT a bargain).

Good question. I'd like to know the answer to that as well - not so much on the basis of pricing, but because PSC have so many things in the pipeline that it's not clear when they'll appear.

I found on the net that they are almost identical in size.

They are almost exactly the same -- they should fit.

Good to know. I just ran across my old sprues of pioneer bridges last night cleaning the ole modeling table!

True, but these are B's and that's the price before shipping. Altogether I've found that nothing yet beats the PSC from online retailers, which offer free shipping. Unless, of course, You need infantry AND halftrucks. Then some BF deals are quite attractive, granting their extras and upgrades.
