This is a great release and shrewd marketing on Meng's part. Of course, the ZPU-4 has never been released, so even those that have all the Meng pickups will probably still buy it. And Meng can charge that much more for it.
And of course these guns were mounted on so many vehicles and are seen abandoned and destroyed in so many photos that it is a great idea to be able to get them all in one bix.

So there are four kits in one box, or just able to build one of four different variations?

Looks like all four are in one box as separate kits. Pretty cool idea, MengSo there are four kits in one box, or just able to build one of four different variations?

Best of all, one doesn't need any vehicle for these and they could be standalones next to figures, on rooftops, in junkyards, in dug pits, in bomb craters, etc.
Ah, if only MENG could extend this idea to small ATVs and FAVs.
