Nice, but I'm still waiting for your "PTS-M Russian Tracked Amphibious Truck" which has been listed as "coming soon" for many months now...
Any idea of the PTS-M release date? Or has it been cancelled?
Cheers,
Christophe

Looks great!
Two questions:
1) I noticed the tires on the axles are black suggesting they are rubber, and the spare is the same white resin as the rest of the vehicle. Are the tires rubber? I prefer resin as it doesn't shrink and split/crack over time.
2) The vignette is awesome, and I was wondering if the bridge itself will be available as a seperate kit to allow further options for modelers?

Excellent news Gabor! Looks like I need to start saving for one of these as well. You need to quit making so many nice kits man or a lot of us are going to go broke
