I agree... I wanna wait and see what they have. I have Trumpeter kits and Meng kits and like both of them. Wanna see the final product from both and see some reviews before i make my final decision on which one to get. Hell maybe I'll just get both and do a Review on the build myself.

Plus Trumpeter will have both the T-10m and T-10, I would prefer the none M version.

Also, the T-10 was built in 2 factories that made the tank in different ways, on purpose, so that parts were incompatable (Kirov built the obj 272 version and Chelyabinsk the obj 734 version). Only the very latest production T-10M's produced were finally standardized on the Kirov Obj 272 version in 1962, well after the bulk of the tanks had been manufactured.

So, technically speaking, there are 8 actual versions of the T-10.
