At last the Cougar 6x6 Mrap!

I prefer it more than the Panda 4X4!

Any further news concerning estimate release date? I believe next year or where there any parts in the site these photos taken?

Anyway GREAT GREAT GREAT news for all three releases!Thank you Hisham!

MENG MODEL is always good for a surprise. I was already considering converting the early kit into a western suspension.
Glad that I didn`t do.

A Cougar 6x6 and some EOD soldiers? That cries for a "Hurt Locker" diorama! And with all the recently released civil cars... endless possibilities.

I was just looking at purchasing Kinetics 4x4 MRAP, this morning. I have enough kits to keep me busy, until Meng's release. The Cougar and figures are on my "must have" list.

Kinda bummed they chose to do the transport version and not the EOD JERRV version, especially considering the EOD soldiers and robots they are releasing.
But still I'm excited we finally have the Cougar 6x6

Still searching for a better pic of the Achzarit poster. Cant find it here or on facebook.
Anybody seen a pic of just the Achzarit poster?
Glad I waited and did not rush to grab an early.
Also will have to see what Hobby Boss offers in theirs.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

it's Meng: their prices to date have been quite reasonable.
really looking forward to the Cougar and while the EOD figures and robots are already available from other producers as seperate sets in resin or plastic I will deffinitly get the Meng set. I expect it will be pretty good value and the quality of their other accessories sets is top notch

I'll second that. Any word if they will continue with their excellent Bradley series? Maybe an M2A2 ODS with a separate interior set like the M3A3?

Nice but just wish someone would do the British armoured vehicles such as Foxhound, Wolfhound and Mistiff.
