I have a suspicion that the Kamaz will get to know the rest of the kits, in my stash.

I'm thinking of getting the Bulldog. I wish some of the aftermarket companies would tackle the barracuda netting and release an update set for Takom's offering.

I suppose it's safe to presume that despite the WWII Germany livery shown, the 3-in-1 will still be buildable into a WWI version (I'd really like to build one as a WWI US tank).

Why the low rating on this news story? Who got triggered?

When they released the FV-432, I was very much hoping that they would also release the Bulldog version, and that's it! Thank you, Takom! Interesting, how Barracuda net will be realized, I think it can not be cast in plastic. At one time the kit was produced by Cromwell models, then Castoff modeled it in resin, but the price was just cosmic (I think the real one could be bought cheaper
By the way, who knows if Takom kit will have an interior?
And of course Typhoon-K ("K" means KAMAZ, there is also "Typhoon-U" from the Ural)! I do not know, of course, how accurate the model will be (I also hope very much for the interior!), but it has already been added to the shopping list)
Thank you, Takom! Comrades, you are on the right way!

It's been out less than a month, give them a chance

The FV432 Bulldog isn't even released yet, Takom says it will be out next month. I'm just saying I would love to see the barracuda update... Perfect Scale has some really nice barracuda sets for modern armor, perhaps they would do one for Bulldog as well.

That Typhoon looks tasty! Hopefully it will keep up to the usual Takom standards.
