I came across this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1-35-Buffalo-MPCV-resin-kits-Limited-Pre-Order_W0QQitemZ280275431096QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280275431096&_trkparms=72%3A1418|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
anyone know anything about who this company is? This seems to of come out quietly, ive not heard any news anywhere about someone releasing this. Ive always wanted a Buffalo, it looks damn cool-bit pricey though.

Very interesting.....that is a total blind sided release.
I have never heard of Vajra Miniatures.
Great to see a kit of the Buffalo.

Thanks Rob
But at 255 USD well it is to pricey for a single kit from an unknown source
Cheers

I donīt know how possible (maybe because Czech republic is such a Modelling superpower 
), but this kit is already being sold in one of our hobby shop (not e-shop). It costs here about 190 EURo.
However I think this is only because of the exchange rate between CZK and EUR/USD. CZK is quite strong at the moment.

Can you get a look in the box of the kit and let us know what the quality is like?

I've bought one, probably going to regret this massively, when it dawns on me ive just blown all that money on one kit. So hopefully i'll have it in my hands next month. Ive always loved this vehicle, especially when it was featured in the transformers movie 
and hopefully if they are limited edition it will be a bit of a show stopper!

unfortunately the sales man did not let me have a look, but confirmed it is a great quality model.
i have heard itīs a german guy who made a master and let the chinese to produce the kits.
unfortunately for me it is not that interesting type to purchase. there are others and (lucky me) cheaper ones

Perhaps you could 'compare & contrast' with Cromwell's variant?

Hmm looks really nice Miloslav, cant wait to get it in my hands! The pour blocks look minimal which is nice. The interior also looks pretty good, i imagine there will be a bit of detail work required, the plow are looks like it lacks a few details.
Do you have any scans of the instructions?

Thanks very much for the link to Vajra Miniature.
The build and completed images look great.
It is very nice to see that the different component modifications are also included.

Man, between this kit, and trumpeter's forthcoming 6x6's, RM's LAV's & Coyote, BVM, and of course MLM, we are living in the golden age of modern Canadian kits! My poor Visa card is going to have a meltdown!
