A very well done preview. Would be nice to mention if it is an early or late model.

Nice looking kit . I like the new format of Tamiya's plan booklet . Only down side I see , aside from as of now a unknown price tag , is the rubber band tracks . Although they have very nice detail on the outside , the inside looks terrible IMO. Should have given us link and length maybe , although I'ld probably get Riich's ( ? ) Pzr III/IV Winterkasten track .

Is there any chance that we can have an unboxing vid of the new Motorcycle kit that was sitting above the Nashorn in that picture that you posted in the Nashorn thread?

Great review and great looking kit,however i can just see the rivet counters,here in the uk pulling it apart as usual,seem's to me it's a 30 quid plus kit,can understand about the tracks but by the time you've done with new tracks and there's bound to be loads of after market stuff for it you'l be looking at 70 quid plus,that's why i won't pander to the after market con,still as i said looks a great kit for us obb mortals,just my tuppence worth.

Curious to compare and contrast with the AFV Club offering. Looks like a keeper in any case!
