The Modeling News just published an article on new Stabrokran combination kits coming from Takom, one with a V2, the other with an SS100. Along with that news is a new M46 tank kit from the Korean War. Here's the links:

Cool!
I wonder if that optional track in the M46 kit is a complete track or only the outer pads?

The M46 looks like a really nice kit. Both T80E1 and T84E1 track included. Very nice.

I hope this is an actual improvement on the old Dragon M46! (Their M47 is only marginally better than the Italeri one...) Still, I will be offering a 3D-printed driver's compartment for it soon, and eventually a turret set too. Just gotta see what's inside from the factory first...

Looking forward to the M-46 as the old one I built (Dragon? Trumpeter?) was pretty primitive.

That M46 has me drooling.

I just hope some nice figures come out for it by the time I get around to it. The Korean war seems somewhat neglected as far as figures go. I'm not sure if WW2 would be suitable. Looking at some photos the tank crews dressed quite similar but I don't think they used those tan jackets.

I'm also hoping to find a reference of a tank with the mouth and claws but not the yellow and striped paint work.

This will be my first Takom kit, super excited.
