Hi guys
Trumpeter just posted these pics on their wall! Test shots of their 2S3 look awesome, check it out. (Sorry about the borders around the photos, I had to take screen shots.)
Thanks
Enjoy

Interesting sprue framework for the tracks. Any idea why they need a box frame? They do not look that fragile...

I guess they slide-mould the connector pins. Panda could have come up with this too, I am in the middle of some serious drilling
