Noticed in a post at M-L some websites are listing the Strv 122 as an upcoming 1/35 kit from Panda!

Salivating over this tank- was not looking forward to the Leopard conversion thingy.
Hopefully a Strv 90 will be next!!

Those folks have been going to town lately. Amazinly, they seem to do very little German WW2 stuff whcih is great, the market is flooded with that courtesy of Tamiya, Dragon, Academy, and Italire (not that I'm complaining)

The owner of my local hobby shop has a list of all new releases from Panda through November. The STRV 122 is not on the list- maybe December, or early next year...

The problem with panda is that they announce a hughe number of future kits... and we still can't see anything coming. What are we realy going to see ?
A real modern Leo 2 or a strv 122 would be great though...
