It was announced several months ago with Dongfeng Meng Shi at the same time. This one is out, but no word about Dongfeng

Yes, it was announced (exclusively) HERE with the other items of the Hobby Boss release program for 2011...

Interesting release.. would be fun to build.

Kuba, you say this one is out? Where? I don't think I've seen it at any of the online stores.

I'm still praying for an "older" Land Rover!

While writing "out" I had in mind that we already have got photos of sprues, box etc. Of course I know that it is still a 'trailer'.

Looks like a nice build, makes a difference from all the humvees and other soft skins.

Oh, ok.. Kuba... I thought maybe it was released and I missed it!

In that pic next to the pink lighter, doesn't it look like it's too small for 1/35 scale? Maybe it's just my perception... or my old glasses

Oh nice! I've been waiting for this for a while. Pics are good, looks like a nice little kit- just a pity there isn't a figure or two with it.

Maybe it's just a big lighter :-)

Nah, actually, if it's the size of a typical Bic lighter, it looks about right. I've been building small 1/35th kits of late (Fox, Ferret) so the size looks right.

While the detail looks very nice, the multicolored sprues make me wonder if HobbyBoss has started channeling the ghost of Matchbox.
