New pick-ups? Bargain rebox of old kits perhaps (if the price is indeed right).

Nice to see civilian vehicles in 35th scale, so many possibilities.

I have to agree with that - I have a lot of Russian machine guns left over from my T-55 stash so mounting them on the back would be no biggie.

Nope, they are not new kits. They have reboxed their prior kits as a set. A sound marketing tactic since both are great kits and very popular. It does look as though the Hilux has new, bigger and wider tires though. They look pretty nice. I hope Meng will release the tires as a separate set to update older Hilux kits.

By the way, why is the thread title "Meng Kids"? What do these have to do with kids?
