Dunno if this is old news, but I discovered that Cyber Hobby are or have re-release their old BRDM-2 and SA-9 Gaskin kits. The BRDM-2 comes with 4 tank crew and the SA-9 comes with 4 Moter Rifle Troops. At just £15.50, they are definetly a bargin. Its a pitty their release is coinciding with Trumpeter's, now we have to choose . If anyone knows, is a retooling
or just a re-boxing?
Thanks
Euan

Trust me theres no choice. This is a reboxing of ancient junk.

What cracks me up even more, one UK store is trying to sell these for £33.00!! Honestly Orange Box kits are a total waste of time and an enourmous rip off.

At those prices they generally are, however there is always the exception. Their M4A3 HVSS POA-CWS-H5 Flamethrower has very little in common with the old Dragon kit and is extremely nice!
