There are new and great alternatives emerging (Miniart, Takom). Is this a loss at all?

I am not willing to bet on that one yet...they have enough of the T-54/55 already in molding to totally count them out. Not banking on it though.

For the most part their armor kits are better than their aircraft kits. The Kurglanze I'm working on is pretty good, but some of their other releases are a bit on the rough side.

Maybe they will try and capitalize on the T-54/55 wave that seems to be cresting right now, but come at it from a different angle and release some of the lesser known variants like the Romanian TR-85 Bison:



or the Slovenian M55:
