What is the tan tower behind the turret?
Does anyone have some close up pics of this and the RWS?
Thanks

GAOYUE It is good to see a company that is not just pumping out WW2 German subjects, and is providing items for our hobby that not so long ago were only available in resin if at all. I would like to take the time here to thank Trumpeter for their efforts as regards this. With that said I would appreciate your views or input into some of the discussions taking place here reference vehicles and figures from specific areas and time periods, and your views as regards those requests. How do you decide what will and will not sell when going into an area that I can only assume has not been profitable in the past.
Before anyone jumps on me ref German subjects, I have bought and built my fair share of German armour, and to each their own. I can only say I like steak but I don’t want to eat it every day.

Looks good! Funny how things get around on the net though, my friend took those pics of the Chally 2 at Bovington last year, got a load more on my PC, guess i should just be thankful they went to good use.

Trumpeter, coming up Trumps again, what a kit.
Since the credit crunch has blown sterling to hell I don’t imagine I will be going on holidays abroad next year. However it looks like I will have plenty to look forward to next summer. Gaoyue must be working really hard keep us modern guys in kits, for the near future.
Much Appreciated

This is really great I am really happy to put my hand onto your new products
2009 year will be a really nice year for modern modeler and
I am tired to see the n-version of german armors, It has been more than 60 years and they even lost it, can we have more modern armor.
Like AA gun Russian for example ????
Cheers
