Same thing with Kinetic... just a drawing!
I have a feeling these announcements were made to counter each other.. when in fact these were at the very early stages of development. Same thing with MENG announcing the T-90 to counter Zvezda's kit at the time.. and then releasing all these other kits.
Just an opinion, of course... I hope I'm wrong and we actually see them very soon

Hi Marc,
on last years Nuremberg show, Kinetic showed me the complete CAD drawings for the MaxxPro. A few monthe later, they requested some more detail pics. As for Riich, I heard that they will release some teasers to test the market, but I have no knowledge about how far the tooling is.

CAD Images mean nothing.
What does a rivet counter count on a cast or welded tank hull?

A retooled M-ATV too? Will the retooling correct the scale error?
Looking forward to the Kinetic Maxxpro. Their RG-31 is going together very nicely for me.
Roughtly October of last year, Riich Models posted on their Facebook site that the plan was to have the Maxxpro and Paladin out by the end of the year. Around December, that post disappeared. They really haven't posted much else on their FB since then, so I have no idea about theirs.
Any news of the new tooled MATV yet? The first release of MATV seems to be discontinued in distributors page! Is there any update concerning new release or reproduction of initial release of MATV?
