Thanks!

YES! Very exciting news...it's about time! I'll pick one up without a doubt. I've always loved the awkward look of this tank. It'll look cool sitting next to a couple of Renault FT's.


I tried to build the old AER kit about 15 years ago, and failed miserably. It's the only kit I ever gave up on. It's been sitting under my bed ever since...in the box...mocking me. But revenge is MINE! Ah-hahahaha!!!



So...any manufacturers interested in doing a Fiat 3000? The tracks on the Tauro kit almost broke me...

Not the first produced Soviet tank, actually. The Soviets produced 14 direct copies of the FT [captured from White forces] during the civil war.

I'm in the same boat as you Chris, I can't wait for this one!!!! looking forward to the KV-220 also.

I'am waiting in line to get this kit, and YES this is great news! hobby boss thank you!

This was announced about a year ago but it's great to see the sprues. Look forward to getting this cool little tank!
