Looks that the complains on their prev. news clip on this site speed up the release of the next clip.

Now start to count the time till the next 2-3 other companies will jump inn.

So, if they're reading, I wonder if they might send Nick Turner a free sample for guessing exactly right with his first attempt?!

Personally, I like vehicles that saw actual service in WW2 better. Still, I have plenty of other Miniart vehicles I need to catch up on building.

Trumpeter has already announced (it's in their catalogue, page 49, item 09505) the SU-101 (even if they labelled it SU-100) which used many parts of the T-44 chassis.

That's AWESOME!!!!! now those of you who are not that interested in the T-44, do not have to listen to "I wish it was a T-44" every time there is a new announcement. (I know there will always be the "I wishes" but this eliminates a major one)

Sorry I hit the enter button too soon! It seems that their products are released more than a year after they are announced.

I know, it's a nuisance, BUT, if I know about it a year or more in advance I might not go off and buy an expensive resin kit
looking at the bright side of the whole thing ...
