Great news...
But just as great, IMHO, is the upcoming release of indy track links for the STRV103B S-tank. I've been waiting for those for a LONG time!!

Love the look of the little thing, but $46?!?
What currency is SRP?
XE says it's not Singapore dollars, they use a different abbreviation, and even if it is $US 38?
Really?

SRP = Suggested Retail Price

So this is $46US. Quite steep for such a little vehicle but I suppose that most online retailers will sell it for less.

Two weeks after I convert my old Dragon SA-6 kit into BRDM, this comes out. Two weeks after I get my first BTR in 1/35, Trumpeter announces their own. Gotta love the timing; oughta make them my new favorite company!

At least a new metal barrel to finish my BRDM is only $13 instead of $46US.

Gotya, more used to seeing MSRP as manufacturers suggested retail price.
$46 tiny subject, a little steep for my blood.

The BRDM-2 is probably my favourite vehicle of all time. With the Dragon kit being quite hard to find and sometimes expensive for what you get I cannot wait for Trumpeters. Trumpeter is also my favourite brand as they have better subject choice than Dragon (unless you want loads of versions of a Panzer 3).
Cannot wait!
