SP Designs makes a full resin kit of the Ranzhir, which you could order directly from the manufacturer or from Jacques D at Sargeant At Arms Models in the USA

Good to know, but what I also meant was "...that we could actually afford..." I'm fond of resin for certain things but styrene kits rule in terms of the trade off between detail & affordability, which equates to more kits for the same money. I've long admired some of the big names in resin sets but could never tolerate the mind-blowing costs demanded by them.

From where i stand, USD65.00 plus shipping from the USA is not really bad of a price for a full resin kit of the Ranzhir. If you consider the Trumpeter T-84BM Oplot kit is USD71.38 (air shipping included from Lucky Models). At the rate that Hobby Boss and Trumpeter is pumping out unique Russian AFVs, it would not surprise me if we get an MtLBU vehicle in the future. I find SP Design kits affordable but their mould quality is not on par with the likes of bigger name brands such as Legend Production.
