Saw these pics on this site , but I couldn't quite understand the automatic translator... Maybe Pawel can give us his opinion on this

Hope this means it is nearing release.

Hisham. You couldn't translate it, simply because Mr. KFS was trying bo be funny, and used a "funny" silly kids language. Some people are just like that.
We are all hoping for a quick release...

You know, Kamil is always very nice and helpful whenever I ask him about anything on FB... Maybe this "funny" language was some inside joke between him and his friends

yep, on these pics you can find some details from very first test shots of KTO Rosomak from IBG. The final product will be vary a bit from current appearance. But with no doubt, even at this stage details and overall appearance is impressive.

I see what look like engine parts, but the hatches in the front are all closed up?

Very impressive.

Not quite sure which version I'll get, but I'll get one for sure.

Cheers,

I only build tracked armour so I can't confirm, but I thought rubber tyres were supposed to be left in the neutral rubber colour (same as how some modellers just blacken white metal tracks instead of painting them)

Personally, I repaint and weather the tires no matter what they are made of. The vinyl tires they include in kits look toy like to me. Others may do it differently, but looking at others builds, it appears a lot of modelers do it that way

I thought rubber tyres are rubber not for color and 'real rubber' feel, but to get complicated thread patterns via traditional two part moulds. These are plastic, so they had to be created via multipart slide mould, for example in Diopark's Mercedes w123 the tyre was created in a mold that had 3 outer parts and at least one inner plug or even something more complicated.

If there's a CV-9035NL turret on the market, drop it on this hull & you've got one of the contenders for the Australian Army's ASLAV-25 replacement.

Graeme,

Phase 2 of Land 400 (L400-2) is 8x8 only as the "cavalry reconnaissance vehicle" to replace the ASLAV FoV.
Phase 3 will be a tracked IFV to replace the M113AS4 APC.
Haven't heard of the AS2 before - I think you're referring to the M1A1 AIM SA (itself due to be upgraded, possibly to M1A2 SEP v.3, under L907-2)?

HTH
