They've announced it for July/August. I mean, there are two kits from them and two Meng. What's the point? Is it a different variation, a retooled previous effort or just because one can never have enough of those?
Please share your opinions on that matter!

If you mean item # 82916 it is different scale. It is an 1/72 scale release of the IDF Merkava Mk.IIID!

Oops...I thought they might rework their earlier kit(s) as they did with their Leopard 2a4CN. Meng's are better after all...
