Hi. Okay guys, for all of you who have been foaming for an update on Trumpeter's new really, really big T-34 AFVs, check out the PMMS site for the latest in their What's New section. This will add another log to the fire of anticipation I think.

Take care, Sgirty

Well the Wallet is ready to fly open at a moments notice.
Great looking detail both to wheels and engine stuff rounds also.
But you can bet that some folks will have the calipers out and say well goosh darn it it is a Millionth of a MM short or off some where plus this is not right and this is not right.
BLA bla bla. (++)

Do I dare to ask how much this beast is going to cost... Have thought about doing a large scale tank, and a T-34 could be nice...

Hi, Have seen rumors here and there that this model is supposed to be coming out in May or June. Don't know if this is world-wide or not, but this is what I've heard.

I saw in FSM that Hobbyland was taking pre-orders. It listed at $170, but they were selling it I think for $119. So that's sure better that the $170, which I'm quite sure wouldn't move too many of them off the shelves if that higher number was what they decided to sell them for.

I'm sure, like sgtreef mentioned, there are going to be those rivet counters out there who aren't going to be pleased with it, but we'll let them worry about that. If it's as good as Trumpeter's version of the K5, it will be more than good enough for this child.

You know what really scares me? What's next after this? Ha, ha!

Take care, Sgirty

wow thats cheap for a model of that size!

$170 is around £90. so im definately gonna get one, only problem is which to choose!

the K5 duo from trump/dml are £70, so IMHO thats great value!

cheers
