Thanks!

Nice addition to the line-up of SP Howitzers :-)

is that a metal barrel to?

It does look like it.

Is this the big announcement everybody was waiting for?

Hi;

YEA,--Its The Big KAHOONA !!! --Not Everybodys Cup of Tea ! And if it Comes with A metal Barrel, it will be near Impossable to keep it at any Angle !

CHEERS; MIKE.

Same problem with PzH2000. I little grease fixes that.

What's so wrong about a chinese company taking aim on the local market? According to China's Population and national pride it's an economically reasonable act. Besides that, what did people really want? Another Königstiger, Sherman or T-34? At least for me PLZ05 is really something different and interesting...

I agree, personally I was hoping for the Mark V-IX cruiser tanks but they at least tried to do something new and original.




Looks more like a resin cast barrel to me.

I don't think anyone has said Meng was "wrong" to release this kit. All I've seen were people saying they weren't interested in buying one.

I do like the look of it. I might pick one up

Hey, I'm not Chinese, but I like big-assed guns and Meng kits! Looks like a winner to me.

I cannot get enough of this PLA stuff. All power to you Meng this is a must buy for me. Next, how about a PLA version of the Smersh.

Poly Caps are very tight on this kit and the barrel will stay where you position it.
