No offense to Tamiya but in my experience, having gotten a few of their sets, they tend to be small, of marginal usefulness, and expensive. I'd hold out a bit for Voyager or ET Model. I can't imagine them NOT releasing a set within a very few months.

The Tamiya Somua is priced at a paltry $27 at HobbyEasy!

Nice tank from Tamiya!
Just wondering why they do not include the PE set from the beginning?

But what intriges me is the blue commanders cupola. Had it identification purposes or was it intended as camo?

I expect they are primarily catering to casual modellers who will not want the extra work involved with the PE material.

I am currently working on decal set for the French-crewed vehicles. Also, The set will fix the 4th Cuirasseirs marking (both should face forward).

Just wanted to note has just announced a PE update set for this kit that will include tool box straps and barrels, no detailing for the grills though:
