Hi Lukasz,

Thanks for informing us!

It lloks like the unit identification and vehicle identification on the Dutch Fennek are missing!
Hopefully, Trumpeter will add them to the decal set ASAP.

I just had to look it up as I do not know much about these AFV/IFV's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMPT

The BMPT "Ramka" or known as it's nickname the "Terminator".






Nice looking vehicle but an odd choice for Trumpeter when we are screaming for a T44.

The choice stands between:
1. Squeezing the most out of an existing chassis
2. Making a completely new model of the T-44
Given that they could sell both kits for the same price I would guess that option 1 gives a better return on the investment, more cash ;-)

Money still makes the world go around even if some banks and financial institutes tries to make us believe that it is credits and loans that make the world go around ;-)

The other thing to remember is Trumpeter doesn't just release one kit at a time. Just because the latest announced release is this, it doesn't mean they aren't working on other projects.

Exactly right - this is a completely expected (and welcome) announcement. Now that they have the basis for the T-72/90 family (particularly the later variants), expect to see loads and loads of variants off that basic tooling (we're up to 5x T-62s, and 6x T-64s - with more of those likely coming as well).

They're working on new stuff all the time, so just because this one wasn't a T-44, doesn't mean it's not a possibility in the near future.

18 months ago, we had a pair of T-62s and a couple of BMP-3s, in the past 18 months, we've had 3x T-62, 3x T-64, 2x BMP-2, 2x T-90, 4x(+?) KV variants, 2S3, 2S1, 3x BMP-3 and how many others that I'm forgetting? Announced are 2x T-72, 3x T-64, 2x T-80, 2S19, IS-4 BMP-2 and probably others I'm forgetting...

So that's 30+ Russian Armor kits over the course of not even two years? Yeah, they're knocking this stuff out fast!

And they're not even started on T-72s!!!!!
