Just came across a picture review of the Trumpeter T-62 thought you might all like to see. The text is Korean, but I guess pictures speak a thousand words or so they say

Even without a full review I am willing to go out on a limb and purchase this sight unseen.
Either way its gotta be btr than the current Tamiya offering. Cant wait to get one , I already have some projects in mind.

Additionally to Rob's link, HobbySearch has uploaded in the meanwhile pics of the kit content in the familiar way.

Won't be available in the North America until Early October, at least that is what I am being told by Stevens International......since they are the ones that import Trumpeter to the US....then I have to take them for their word!

I received mine today from HLJ. I just couldn't wait until October. At a first look, everything looks great, separate fenders, engine panels, the upper hull comes in separate pieces. Trumpeter have included a small p/e fret (for the engine deck screens and other small parts), a metal barrel and individual link tracks. AFAIK, the tracks don't have knockout pins on the tracks, just two small sprue attachment (similar to all Dragon kits, can't think of the correct term) points to each track, nothing to worry about at all. I think the turret could use a little more texture on it, but I'll reserve judgement on that point until after looking at more T-62's. All in all, it is very nicely done kit. Can't wait until the late version comes out in a few months.
