Yes, yes, yesss!!! I was thinking about getting the Mk.1 Hybrid as this is closest to the Mk.II, but this hits right the spot! The cherry on top: it’s the B variant!

If their version is as good as the Meng Merkavas, it should be excellent.

Yes. We definitely need a Tiger or Panther, there hasn't been a new kit of these for ages. Its raining other kits all the time but never ever a Tiger or Panther
