Trumpeter has made a number of announcements covering works in progress, at the moment all of these are only art work or CAD images. Take a look inside for more details.

This artwork was discussed here some time ago and the guys said it was from the film "Transformers".. or at least similar to a scene in the film. I haven't seen that film, so I wouldn't know for sure.

Nothing on the horizon for the first half of the year. Just got the Trumpeter releases for June, and nothing from the BTR-70/80. Mind you Trumpeter can always surprise us.

It does have the first of the BRDM 2 series on it however, and more tracks, Panther, SV103 and E-25 I believe.

Another month another must-have from Trumpeter (at least for me). That Type-86 is another dream come true.

Any sign of sprue shots?

There are already blatant errors in the Grizzly CAD drawing that are carried over from the early Grizzly kit.

Trumpeter....there are tons of modern Canadian armour modellers with in depth knowledge about the AVGPs...feel free to send an email or PM if you want to correct errors in your kits!!!!

Thank you Hisham! But who designed this kit first? Does Trumpeter only re-box it?

It's a kind of a collaboration between the two companies. They've done this before with a couple of other Japanese wheeled vehicles.. like the Type 82 Command Vehicle and two others, if I remember correctly.
