Greatbrit, I've just had a look at the Tamiya site, the "new" releases are an M113a2, An M2a2, another version of the hummer and more importantly modern US stowage ( bergens etc). The general consensus (and I share it) that these aren't "new kits" but simply modernising existing moulds with the addition of IFF panels and stowage.... Jim

HobbyLink Japan posted that the M2A2 is an upgraded re-release with bolt on armor and assorted accessories.

The Humvee is a totally new mold though and some of us (excluding me) have one (or two, or five).
