Glad to see that at least one company remembered that WWl started 100 yrs ago next year. The model has complete interior, too. I was hoping Dragon or Bronco had plans for WWl armor, but Meng beat them to it. Maybe these guys will catch on.

Italeri has announced FT-17 a few months ago as well.

If I was to buy one, I'd probably go with Meng.

Nope, your timing is prefect since was just trying to remember this tidbit just a day or 2 age. Better twice than not at all.
