There are photos from this show over at Hobby Link Japan. There are some surprises. Trumpeter is working on a 1/36 JGSDF Type 96 8-wheel APC. I know so many of us (hello?) have been waiting for one. Another surprise is the Tamiya re-box of Italeri's 1/35 Italian L6/40 Light Tank. I never knew Italeri had one!!

Not exactly. It'll be a FULL resin kit and marketed under the Monochrome label Trumpeter ARE connected in some way i've still got to establish..

That aside, this is the best of the Show Photo-reports i've seen - thanks for posting.

I am intrigued by AFV Club's T-34/76 with full interior coming out! I am not a huge fan of T-34's, but this one looks like one to have.

I think a lot of people at HENSCHEL will cry foul over this:

Here is a link to more photos. It looks as if the L6/40 has at least a partial interior.
