Well, I hope it can be built as an Iraqi version.

And I agree regarding the VAB.. whoever makes it will have a best seller, yet they keep ignoring it

Hisham,
the engine deck is that of a late AuF1 with the AMX30B2 engine so I guess you won't be able to build it as an Iraqi gun.

The picture of the turret sprue shows a solid molded ammo rack unlike the Meng offering. So I guess there could be a partial interior but not so detailed as in the Meng kit.

Anyway, it's a good news as I'll bet the price will not raise up to Meng's standards.
