I just picked up the same info over on PMMS Perth's "New Kit News"... I never started my ICM T-28 and T-35 kits, with EDUARD PE upgrades, so it's not a big loss as far as I'm concerned, since I bought them years ago.
I'll probably post my ICM/EDUARD combo kits on eBay with very attractive pricing, along with a bunch of other stuff that I'll never have the time to build. If anything, the new TRUMPETER/HOBBY BOSS kits will make the jobs of building a T-28 and T-35 a more enjoyable experience for me. The pics of the new kits look really great, so sign me up!

The photos that have been posted on FB, PMMS Perth and TRUMPETER/HOBBY BOSS show some VERY nicely molded partial mock-ups of the T-28 and T-35; also a pic of the main BA-6 body-casting, obviously a very nice slide-molded affair. I think we can all rest assured that the T-28, T-35 and BA-6 will be very nice kits, indeed!

Sooo typical. I spent hours and hours plus lots of euros first to search and buy T-28 and T-35 kits from ICM plus barrels and photo etch for T-35 years ago, then this happens. Now there's no sense to find photo etch for that T-28 anymore neither trying to sell my kits after this announcement. Just got to wait for release of these new kits and buy atleast T-28 plus AM goodies for it.
But anyway, this is highly welcomed news from HobbyBoss.

I know how you feel. At the same time, I am delighted to see these coming out. The ICM kits are a lot of work, lots of work, too much work... These are welcome.

These photos of the upcoming TRUMPETER/HOBBY BOSS T-28 and T-35 remind me of some of the better TAMIYA, DRAGON, and BRONCO, kits. I haven't sampled any of the MENG or TAKOM kits yet, but all the reviews of stuff that they've had on the market are positive in nature, so it's just a matter of time before I do...
PS- I'll wait to assemble them until some PE and/or resin updates follow- I just KNOW that VOYAGER, or GRIFFON, ET, or LION ROAR will add to my expenses...
