They all are pieces from the already existing moulds of their T-90, I think. They can be very useful for other types of tank.

Very nice. I hope they do this for other vehicles as well.

Has anyone else noticed that the image for the V-84 engine states it to be suitable for kit references TS014 (the T-90 with dozer) and TS-028 (not yet known what it is)? I believe we may be looking at the long awaited, much rumoured Meng T-72, or at least a T-72 based vehicle. Can't wait to see which variant they start with 😊

Hi Guys;

IMHO its about time, somebody other than the AM Boy's has started with the Extra's !

The Engine is A real plus, as its the type used in many vehicles, and open's up all kinds of DIO options. Altho we had resin kits and other engine sets, this is just another fine extra kit too make our kits better !--THANKS MENG !!

CHEERS; MIKE.
