Box-art.. they should have marketed it together with their "Green Men" figure set... or were they calling them "Polite Men"

Is this a different variant than MENG's and X-ActScale's kits?

As fas as I can see on pictures, this is a different kit from Meng's I've already own. You can see a few pictures of the sprues on modelkits.com.ua from Ukraine and you would appreciate that vehicle´s body is made in at least 5 different parts, when Meng´s made in in only one.

Sorry, I should say that Meng is made in only one piece!

What's the point of writing "TIGR"? You should use the Cyrillic alphabet.

Hello David,
I tend to keep the original names of the vehicles instead of the translation, no matter if they are German (Marder, Luchs, Maus...), Soviet (Smerch, Bereg, Buk...), or wherever.

As I guess not all the readers, me being the first, are fluent in other alphabets, I use the standard one so at least it has a readable name.
