My sheer congratulations to experts/modellers/enthusiasts whose opinions, ideas and knowledge were put into the project. Thank you guys! I'm sure there were thousands of contributors, let the upcoming kit be fair incarnation of their efforts.

I am KT less and have held off purchasing one until Meng releases theirs. Looking forward to a release date.

I hope that 'by modellers for modellers' strategy of their's will bring us an astonishing product.

From what I read in their FB post, the contributors got 3 seperate kits; 1 the KT itself, another for the interior and another for the tracks. This leads me to believe we won't get a "complete" kit, and getting everything won't be nearly as affordable as the Takom kit.

This seems like an HE combo rather than something from Meng themselves

If their M2A3/M3A3 Bradley is anything to go on, purchasing all three separate kits would cost the same as purchasing 1 kit with all of the separate kits included.

Just give me the tank and the workable tracks,they can keep the interior.Still want to hear some reviews,for me it's going to be between this one and the Dragon KT with the Magic Tracks and the PE fenders.

That's a touch over $60 in U.S. phony money which seems like a good deal over the likely Dragon MSRP. I think I know which I might get but I will wait for the reviews.

I like that combo approach. Am not an interior builder myself so not being penalized for paying for something I have no need is most welcome.
