Yeah, got tired of waiting and invested in the resin one (TankMania). Anyone want to know what else I have bought so you know what will be released next
Hope this is the early version with the misiles visible (SA-8A) that way I can still build my resin one which is the later, less interesting 8B
Trumpeter will do both I guess.
