Hi;

Yea Looks Nice. But can you afford it. !! Its got too be at least 150.00$ USD. The one question you have too ask yourself, is are we getting too far ahead of ourselves. ! How much can we expect our Pocket Books too be able too Absorb such Expensive kits, and there only getting Bigger and Better. Can you just imagine what this kit would be like with the PE sets that you know are going too be included along with about twelve (12) sprues of individual track links, It makes me want too Break out in Sweats already. And there are those who will want a metal barrel;
HOLY COW !! For that Gun !!! Now I must Beg your pardon for playing the Devils Advocate, and Sorry for the O.T.
HAPPY NEW YEAR; MIKE.

With kits like this, you just hand over the credit card and look the other way

I too resisted to the call of resin. This announcement proved I was right

You have to love the guys from Trumpeter.
They not only rule the business in interesting subject, they also increase the molding quality kit by kit.

I'll get both kits. Some weeks ago i just finished to watch a russian documentary about development of all armor and artillery vehicles. The Pion was also included.

Great news for "Oka" and "Pion" from Trumpeter!
Until now, there are only resin-kits available.

But: have in mind, that a release of the final kits could be in some years.
I have some prototype-kit-photos of the BMP-2D, which were published in 2011 and 2013.

for example ASU-85:
picture of testbuild: 2009
complete kit: 2011 (boxart)

BUT: GREAT NEWS!

greetings...

I don't care how long it takes them to put it out, as long as it comes out I'm ok with a wait. I'm really happy they announced one, the Pion always seemed like a too ambitious project to me for one to ever come out in plastic. The Oka is a nice surprise too, would look nice next to a Dragon Scud. One thing that no one mentioned yet, we're all complaining about our wallets, what about space to put all these built kits? I've had a Trumpy MAZ in my stash for almost a year simply because I don't have space to display it haha.

I will NOT complain about this. I guess I have to start selling kidneys...wonder if I can grow more?

All kidding aside, I have a dream of 4 of these in battery formation, prepped to fire.
