I built their old one some years ago (got it from Squadron for about $15 or so); sketchy fit and terrible tracks but I got it together; painted it, weathered it, it looked okay but was not a fun build; hopefully this one will be better;

I was thinking exactly the same thing -especially about the tracks. Would be interested in seeing a build review on one of these.

I would not base anything on kits they did years ago. I've built their MSTA-S and the fit of that multi- faceted turret can't be beat. If fact, the detail and fit on the entire kit is better than any Dragon kit I've built, by far.

Good point; I've heard good things about their newer stuff. Haven't tried any of their new stuff; might have to grab this one and give it a try.

Need to start digging out refs for a post war Czechoslovakian or Nationale Volksarmee one.

it states it will be a new kit. I did their older kit & I concur..it was $#@@! They have to get their sh_t together if they plan on competing in this market.
