Hi everyone,

Are these models new tooling or Tamiya rebox them, I can't remember that Tamiya did these models before, am I wrong??





I can't found any clear information from Tamiya's website either..

You're young LOL. :-D

Yes they are reboxes/reissues of very very old Tamiya models.

Cheers,

I guess that both can maybe rather be seen as "collectable" kits :

I'm afraid I disagree strongly with Christophe, there should be a couple more 'Verys' in his original comments...

Back in the day , this was about the best we had ..I can remember back dating the M 36 by using a drinking straw from 7-11 for a replacement barrel. The WW 2 version didn'have a fume extractor .

The M-36 was one of the first Tamiya kits I built. You guys talk about styrene track as "rubber band" but the M36 had actual rubber tracks!
