NEW ITEM. JUST FOUND OUT ON THE PANZER SHOP'S SITE, IN THE 1/35TH COMPLETE KIT SECTION .THEY ARE GOING TO PRODUCE THE 2S19 MSTA IN 2008-2009.

No need to type in caps on, really. Especially since this item has been in development by PzS for at least two years already. Some people say that it is likely to be based on parts originally made by ICM for their injection molded version of this SPG which never made it to hobby shop shelves. Given faith of the latter and presumed quality of whatever masters might be there, it's questionable that PzS will ever release theirs.

I really think that PzS will come out with this kit.

The only question is how toxic will the price be?

Sergej of SP Designs looked over doing a conversion for the SKIF kit and felt that even doing a bare-bones no interior version would have been well over $100 back in 2003 or so. I imagine that it will run $400-$500 considering the cost of other kits they have out right now.

Plus general increase in cost of oil based inputs (resin, plastic, etc). Someone should do one in braille scale to keep price sane.

I think even a 1/72 one would run over $100 in this environment.

If you need a small scale one, buy a 5 pack of Micro-armor, 1/285 scale.
