Anyone got a Takom's new Bergepanther kit yet? I saw them being available in Asian web sellers now. And Meng's version is supposed to come out next month, too!
If you got one, what do you think about it? Is it as good as it was anticipated? Or hopefully, Meng is better?

Regards,
James

I got mine 2 1/2 weeks ago and the kit is very nice with alot of details, i recomend you to buy one.. Or wait and see if the meng is better, nobody can say that yet.. Only that the meng kit is much cheaper but in the meng kit i dont think you will get a complete interior with engine.. But the takom kit is very nice..

It's hard to believe the Meng kit will be much cheaper and still be anywhere near as nice (complete). Yes they could leave out the engine compartment and save a few bucks. I bought my Takom Berge from Spruebrothers here in the states and it was only $64 including shipping.
