Ike, not sure if u've been to the Tamiya showroon recently. I went there yesterday and saw the 2 kits u're looking for. The rommel kit is actually a kit bash of the tent set w/ radioman (which is a fairly old one), kubelwagon w/ balloon tires and a scaled down size of Rommel 1/16 fig..

Thanks Psyfool for your update. Haven't been to tamiya showroom yet.
I read some posts in the international armor forum regarding the 6x6 Cargo truck and I think it isn't that much worth it as Tamiya just re-used the older kit + some accessories and jack up the price..

Maybe the Rommel field command post set might be more value for money... once again.. thanks Psyfool
