Hobby Boss teased us and had a guessing game a couple of days back. Now they reveal what is coming our way. With sprue shots available, we would like to expect a release date soon -- hopefully the box art does not take that long!

I am sure it is going to be another beautiful kit. My one complaint, IMO, would be that it has no engine! All it has is a "splash pan/oil pan" low profile molding where the 3D engine should be.

Just a pet piece of mine.

I think that you meant "pet peeve" -happens to me all the time, and I agree, provided that you can -in some way- see the engine. Otherwise it is kind of pointless. Dragon, for example, offers the fuel tank for the 250/251 half tracks in their terrific (and complex) kits, problem is that it is located UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS. Kinda pointless to install.

Hi,
can't wait for these.I hope they make all the weight sizes and original and newer fronts and....(fingers crossed) the 8x8 tractor and recovery trucks used by cruise and Pershing.

regards Jason

Maybe we will get lucky, and get the MAMMUT HX81 8x8 heavy tractor as a kit??

With the plethora of shiny, new Leopards being churned out lately an SLT-2 would indeed be very nice to have. A Pershing combo wouldn't be all that bad either
