Well, its probably a joke. The serial number 01581 is the t-64B 1975, and my antivirus warned me about the web page.

I agree with Arpad.
Check Trumpeter's website for new releases

It must be a joke Taras


What I'm wondering is:

Who's the NERD that would find fun a joke like this?

I just remembered history with HB Dana. Some years ago i saw small image of it on a Czech model forum with notice Trumpy release. There no one believed that that it will be ii styrene. Now we can buy it.

...but box-arts are beautiful

Tunguska and T-90 in styrene?! That would be more than just great. It would be a dream but (sadly) we all live in reality. But i'm sure that some day... eh, nervermind!

At least i'm happy with my MiniArm T-90A conversion. Would be pretty frustrating if Trumpeter comes out with an injection molded tank for less than 30 €uros just when i start building the very expensive conversion.

Stunning drawings indeed!

But that don't prove anything in my opinion

Why Trumpeter didn't present these amazing new releases at the recent Nürnberg fayr?

Why in the latest Trumpeter catalogue there is no trace about these new kits?

Suicidal behavior?

Joking aside, usually I believe in subject "existence" just when they are actually produced

I don't care about rumors

If you were right and the kit were produced I would be very happy and I would buy them for sure

Till then they don't exist

lol, shhh, let it be a joke. I'm with you, I just spent a damn fortune on the T-90 turret and front hull conversion, and would kick myself if a styrene one came out.

That Tunguska they actually had a long time ago on the Perth site as well as a few others as a future release for Trumpeter. I hope its true, I'd love to get my hands on it. Its based on the BMP-3. Personally, I'd even love to see the uparmoured BMP-3 that they announced some while back come to light.

Hey guys,


Sorry to be the party-crasher, but those are fake for sure. The box-art was taken from this site, without credit....

www.precise3dmodeling.com/

Look category "ground" for tunguska

http://www.precise3dmodeling.com/models/images/tunguska/tunguska_1l.jpg

and "gallery" for the T-90

Hi Andreas!

Maybe you can't believe me but I was sure that those drawings were taken from a 3d modelling site, but I hadn't had enough time to look for them


Anyway.....GREAT DRAWINGS INDEED...Thanks a lot

cheers

Juhuu.... the Tunguska is coming in plastic!
That would be a great moment, since SKIF´s one was planned many, many years ago!

I hope, this is not only a joke, although the images would also make me think that!
But I also read some years ago, that Trumpeter planned these kits.
But will see.

greetings...

If it finally happens, it happens. And, I will probably pick up one of each. Right now, I have a distributor that claims to have Zvezda's T-90 in stock. However, he is a wholesaler and can only sell them in units of 30. I'm trying to get photos of one before I purchase.

It wouldn't be the first time that Trumpeter has pilfered other's photos for their box art, so the fact that the pictures on those box art belonging to those websites and used without permission isn't really evidence that the kits are fake.

I still believe they are fakes, as one kit number corresponds to one of the T-64s, and the other kit number doesn't exist.

Hmm, after reading the complete topic, I agree:
it would "not be nice" (not to say: "a shame") to make a joke with releases, which are very high rated!
