Yes, very good news, indeed. I have to buy at least 10 UAZ to forget my frustrations building the Military Wheels kit. And that Puma is looking good too.

I figured it was only a matter of time before they did the Sd.Kfz.8 in a vanilla version after introducing the armor-clad cab version first. That's overall great news, as now all the major half tracks of the Wehrmacht will be available in styrene.

You guys with DES resin versions should dump them now, LOL.

I say YES! to the Sd Kfz 8!

Also, how is the Tamiya Sd Kfz 9? I have heard good things.

Yes you're right

The Italians are used to saying GAZ, but actually is UAZ

I also had that bad experience! I think it lasted 1 week on the bench before being hurled into the rubbish bin. But all these releases look fantastic!

UAZ (so much version are possible!!!!): 3 on my list of "to buy"
Puma 4x4 (sexiest than the 6x6) and T62M! 1 each on my list

And if the tracks are as good as their previous T55 workable set i'll get the T72 (hopes they'll include T55 sprocket) and S tank ones.
Thanks Trumpeter and thanks guys for the links.

I think it looked like an UAZ, at least to me, but you had to work too much to make it good. I finished it after a lot of time, work and crazy moments. It looked ok, but being one of my first models, it could of looked better. Now I will have a chance to try the trumpeter one, hope to be much better.

Yes and I really can't understand why they are walking on Hobby Boss path. I don't think they are a lot to earn, they'd better release something really new in plastic like a M2A3 with ERA or something similar.

I'm personnally waiting for the Italian Puma.

At least it should be much better than the one they had released a few years ago

All,
I think you have all mistaken... This is not an any new kit announcement !!!

This is a poster from trumpeter announcing the winner of their recent competition in China.

The T62 on the top of the poster is the special prize
The Ti-67 is the first place

The rest are all winner of the competition but they are not display in the winning order..this is what the poster says.

Sorry to break the bad news...

That's what I was just thinking.. I thought they're showing off some models that were built by fans

It was good while it lasted
