Sounds good, but I'm having a hard time seeing any logic here...



Mario, do you think there is any logic in having major companies releasing quite simultaneously the same panzerschtroumpfwagen that never existed.
At least, the Merk IIID is a true tank and I'm glad the offering is widening for IDF fans. Having only Legend conversions to build IDF subjects was a bit annoying price and accuracy wise.
Just my 2 cents

Hi Alex,

Hope the turret has the slope downward on both sides unlike the incorrect turret on the Academy model. Also will it have anti slip like your Merkava 4 has. What about the ball and chains wii they be plastic or metal?
When will the kit be released.

Regards,

Julian Lewis

Hi Lee
What the point to show the cover of box from Meng when we are talking here on HobbyBoss one? Unless you want to show how expensive it is.
Hope the one from HobbyBoss will be cheaper since they dont waist to much money on posters and other payments HA HA

It's sad that they come out with these kits so late to our build of the resin and scratchbuilds'., but on the othere hand for mini of you that could or would not buy the high priced resin kits. An don't have the scratchbuilding skill, Can now build these super tanks as well.

Well..little secrect...It will be very cheap in China...But...I don't know if it will be cheap in EU and NA.so.......I hope it will be cheap..because no one knows what is the boss of HB thinking about when he decide the price of the model....That's all....I think it will be cheap as we wish...maybe 60% sure? still no idea....

You have your opinion and you're entitled to it, but I recall the Hobbyboss Merkava 4 was priced right where the Meng Merk 3D is, when it was first released, and had the messed up suspension. How about you guys work on getting your 3D correct, and we'll let the consumers decide which one to buy and how much they'll spend. Personally I'll probably pick up at least one of each.

Dear Alex
Well it is fantastic news, if it will be even only 40% cheaper, than it worth to wait to the Boss one (no wonder you dont spent money on posters and on other "presents", HA HA).
Good kit with fair price will be the winner here. I am sure that you will do A LOT OF IDF KITS VERY SOON.

Can you do me and others a favor,

Can you expose the name (or even his initials will be enough) of the person that gave you (the HobbyBoss) the wrong info for the Merkava 4 lower hull with the mistake of the wheels locations.

I asking that because it looks like someone else was blamed all the way for this mistake on IDF related treads in var. modeling forums, while the rumor is that the one that was responsible to that blames against him, is the one that actually provide the wrong info!!!!
So let see if it is the case here.

And also is it true that you stop to work with him because of that?

OK fine, go ahead and keep up the jokes. Oh, and the HB Merk 4 suspension was messed up, that's not inuendo, it's fact. I have no idea where HB got their info from, and don't really care. I'll leave you to continue your little jibes now.

Mike,
Well my are facts as well, a solid facts,

So what is your problem, it will be nice to understand what made you to JUMP, then I can answer you better.

Is it only your kind and your Mister and his Yesmen are allow to write in forums on IDF subjects and it is forbidden from us? Do your Mister can ban us here too?

So please keep your slick English and complicate words to yourself and let us the simple people with bad english to say what we think.
Regards
Robert
