Great! After the Lkw 5t mil gl with Einbausatz Pioniergruppe, HB gives us the Lkw MAN 5 t mil gl (4x4), KAT I, Pritsche mit Kraftstofftankanlage 2x2300 l mit KPA 400. Bad news for the AM companies who produce the KTA in resin.

Really cool, but how big will that MBV-2 be in 1/35?

Really cool, but how big will that MBV-2 be in 1/35?

I couldn't find any hard numbers or scale drawings in a book I have on the Russian railcars (text being in Russian doesn't help). But based on some blueprints I found online it, seems to be around 21.5"/55cm long.

I'm excited for this kit, it's probably going to be the first kit I pre-order. I really hope HobbyBoss builds on this 1/35 line of Russian armored trains to, maybe some OB-3 railcars and a PR-35 or PR-37 locomotive to build up a train.
