Nice to see the sprues finally, it looks like the "extensions" are molded onto the end connectors, that's great, one less step with individual track links is a welcome idea! I personally prefer rubber band or link & length tracks, for tanks that had "live tracks", or full fenders that hide the upper run, but these should look nice if they go together well. (I shudder as I think of the tracks that came with the T-26, they "looked" nice also...we'll see)

I was about to post that it may be a pre-order price, but it was otherwise when I checked Hobby Easy. Its a good deal.

Hi, price is low because hobbyboss wants to gain market share to fend off upcoming takom releases for t29/t30

They always do this like their lower than normal priced nagmashot to fend off tiger models nagmashot series.

And now in stock...

As for the price at Hobbyeasy, I thought it was just a non accurate price listing for pre-order when I ordered mine back in November, but its accurate $45 AUD inc. postage, happy as.

seems the competition motivated companies to show better quality and even better price if one of the competitor can make better budget control by selling with lower price but still gain money. Quite normal.

Jeez, that paragraph makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. They really need to employ a natural English speaker to review the entries BEFORE printing them.

http://www.military-today.com/apc/nagmashot.htm

"The Nagmashot or Nagmasho't is the first modern heavy Armored Personnel Carrier (APC). It was converted from retired Sho't Kal (upgraded Centurion) main battle tank hulls, in response to the shortcomings of conventional APCs in combat. The name is a combination of the Hebrew term for an APC ("Nagma"), and the Hebrew word for "Whip" ("Sho't", which was the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) name for their upgraded Centurion tank, from which the Nagmasho't was converted)."

Don't thank me, thank Google and good old copy-&-paste
