Some really nice releases. Looks like there's something for everybody. Very happy especially with the cold war/modern releases.

The wings look like in keeping with the SR-71 than the concept F-19.

The Picture of the Miniart T-54-1 is going to get a bunch of people excited.
I'm already setting aside the money to pick one up!
Kind of a nice announcement to see on my birthday, too, I've been waiting for a 1946/47 T-54 for a few years now!

Saw one of those M728's at Fort Lewis.
Awesome looking vehicle! Great to know there's a kit coming.

Thanks for posting Hisham!
Now I need to sell a few organs, so I can afford to get the T-54 and the M728. I wanted them for decades....
And the "T-72B...", why not?
By the way, am I wrong or it is a T-72B3M and not a T-72B2 as written in the label?? AFAIK, the T-72B has different optics, not the ones shown in the model.
It's not too much, but it's all we got...

Thanks Hisham! That M-40 just makes my day! The M-113A1 and M-728 as well . I'm think 919th Engineers for the latter .
The Korean War issued M-40 with appropriate uniforms for the crew just make me all kinds of happy !

Those are some awesome announcements Hisham. I really love all the etched and real metal parts Tamiya are including in their M40 kit.

YES!!! GREAT STUFF!!! Thanks, Hisham!
Incidentally, there is also a CAR-15 pictured in the photo showing the sprue of the "hand-held" weapons contained in the AFV CLUB M113 ACAV...

But, yep, thanks Hisham! That 113 looks fantastic!

4K51 Rubezh was used by ex-GDR NVA Volksmarine.

The M113 is showing a lot of promise. Any pics of the front hull parts, and upper deck?
I found a nifty feature on the forums called HIDE USER.
I was going to try it on myself and go stealth, but it only works on other users.

The G6 looks awesone. Ever since seeing one in person a little plastic version topped my wish list - now it is officially on the "need to convince my wife" list!

While I'm not interested in this subject, I'm afraid that Tamiya will not include the metal gun in the kit but will sell it appart -if I recall it right, they did the same with their last Jgdpz IV-.
Take a look at Hobbyeasy site:

http://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/7zvkcgc7hi5ffnxsqqsw.htmlNot a bad price for such a gun, anyway, since it seems to add a few ammo cases.

Yes Hugo, I noticed Tamiya were selling the Metal barrel and shells seperately [annoyingly, since the plastic barrel is in halves], I was talking more about the metal tubes for the elevation system among others

You're right! Upon closer inspection, this aircraft looks a lot more like an SR-71. Besides the right Main Wing, there are also those "Air Scoop"-looking apertures ahead of the Afterburner Cans! I DO need new glasses!
BTW, what is that new US Army-looking Truck amidst the other TRUMPETER kits?

Thanks for clarifying, regarding my mis-identification of the CAR-15- Sorry, I'm not as familiar with "modern" weapons as compared to the WWII stuff...
