Zvezda has announced a list of new kits on their website. Some of them are really interesting.
The incoming kits are:

AFV, 1:35 scale
3531 - Soviet Self-propelled Gun Su-100
3625 - Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.B «Stuka zu Fuss»

AFV, 1:72 scale
5010 - Panzerkampfw.V Panther Ausf.D
5011 - IS-2 Stalin

Figures, 1:35 scale
3618 - Soviet Medical Personnel WWII
3628 - German Paratroopers (Crete 1941)
3643 - Soviet Reconnaissance Team

Motorcycles, 1:35 scale
3639 - Soviet Motorcycle М-72
3651 - Soviet Motorcycle M-72 with Mortar

The kits are labeled as "under construction", so it's hard to say anything more yet. Of course this makes things all the more intriguing as we wait for details.

See the producer website for details: http://www.zvezda.org.ru/?lng=1&nav=1&c=1

Zvezda is russian for Star Jeremy yes, the company's logo itself is a clue of this quote< SU-100 better be a new kit! >quote sorry to disappoint you brian but no this is the same kit Zvezda released some time ago the detail is ok with a good PE set, Aluminium barrel and tlc it's a good kit, but the vinyl tracks are awful! worse than old tamiya's so a set of afv indy links would be a must also. so when all that is factored in it would probably be best to get dragon's kit, all you need straight from the box

So, DML aside the best Su 100 is still the Tamiya one? I was thinking to try to improve the zvezda kit...most likely it'll be cheaper than the Tamiya and, of course, than the Dragon kit But i'll try just if it's worth the payn. If it has huge mistakes I can live without and I can wait to buy the DML kit However Zvezda kit+ tracks+ aluminium gun barrel...Eventually it wouldn't be so cheap ...

i'd say detail wise and outline the zvezda su-100 beats tamiya's ancient kit hands down plus most of the PE grills available for dragon's kit are easier to adapt to Zvezda rather than tamiya, as we know tamiya's T-34 series kits were designed back in the day when their kits were motorised so updating them is harder though not impossible. i'd say the Zvezda kit is still a good kit, as long as your willing to through some money and time at it.

Well Ant, actually I don't mind improving ancient good kits doing a lot of scratch work, especially if they still have a good shape . The only thing that worried me would be the tracks. I can't scratch-it and friul one are quite expensive. I'm not mean at all but spending over 50€ for an ancient kit+tracks it would be quite a waste of money Anyway, thanks a lot for the info

Is it so awful?. The re-issed kit costs about 30€....Not so cheap for an ugly kit....And It doesn't make sense! Well, if i understood in a right way to make a su 100 there are just two alternatives. The DML super (and expensive) kit and the Zvezda one What about the Revell su 100? Is it a Zvezda or a Tamya tool?

Mauro if you want a cheaper alternative to fruil tracks i'd try the new Afv Club indy links you have to remove them from the sprue, unlike Dragon's magic tracks but the build up really well and look good according to the reviews i've seen of them. They're a vast improvement over the vinyl tracks and they'd be cheaper than splashing out on the fruils

@ Brian So Brian, if even the DML kit are not good enough, I'd prefere to go with Zvezda kit. I'll try to do scratch work on it and if I fail, at least I won't waste lots of money @ Ant. That's a good idea. I haven't thought Thanks a lot to both of you for your tips cheers
