Hi all
Looking through HLJ after receiving news of their sale that just started, I saw they had Tamiya's Su-85 going for

HLJ write this:
"Re-issue of Tamiya's venerable (1974) kit of the Russian SU-85. While this kit is certainly not up to modern standards, a careful inspection proves that Tamiya really knew what they were doing even a quarter-century ago. Belt-style tracks. Includes a single figure."

Add aftermarket tracks to get something decent and the cost more than doubles.
I would NOT buy this. I think you can get the Miniart SU-85 (German markings + crew) for less than Tamiyas + aftermarket tracks.
There is also another SU-85 from Miniart which has an interior as well ...
