Wish they would include a slide-molded barrel, in segments or turned barrel. This looks like the Leopard I've been waiting for.

Although these tracks look better than Takom (5 pieces for 2 links), I'd say Meng wins best C2 Mexas so far, with their use of "rubber-band" tracks. No sense in individual links on a tank like this

I wonder if they're planning on doing a straight C2? looks like they've included turret parts for it.

Production methods would be preferable over am parts any day of the week.

Looks very good, but... engine compartment detail but no open engine deck
