Did you check out their Facebook page (there's a link right from Scalemates...)? Comments and videos of the 3D modelling. No release date yet. Not sure if anyone is going to have much more information then what is there.

I see that they are all in the race for TAM Have you seen the ARMAQ? It is also in the launch stage. The TAM of this company is made with the original construction plans, and they had released a version in 2007 and discontinued it. Now they are making a new one with 3d technology and modeled from scratch. I saw it in a forum in Argentina. As I see more information I am passing it, this is also in 1/35 scale ... But in principle it seems to me a version of excellent quality and detail you can see the pictures on my photos

This looks Interesting. Dukel Hobbies appears to be a distributor based out of Beunos Aires, Argentina. They seem like a solid online store and distributor kind of like spruebrothers and many many others except they’ve actually decided to make a develop a kit under their own brand?

If I’m understanding this correctly and I may not be, this is Dukel’s first kit. Since a lot of info I’ve read has been in Spanish which I understand very little of, and has been off their website, social media posts and their comments. If so, it’ll be interesting to see how the kit turns out and sells, and what plans they may have for future releases. The emergence and growth of more big-time players in plastic has been great this last decade.

I agree in almost everything that you said, but for me, the quality of Armaq`s kit is superior and they deigned it from scratch from the original, because they have acces to the army technical drawings, equipments and specifications.

Too many "!" and emoticons there. Why do you say it's a waste of money without even have seen the kit "in flesh"?
If that's because you don't like to build resin kits, it's just a matter of personal taste that adds nothing constructive to this thread...
Not to say that if anybody wants to build a TAM, this will be the only way. This, or scratchbuilding starting from an ancient Tamiya Marder or a Revell one.

BTT, I got the Dukel kit and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with its level of detail and the clever way it is engineered.
I'll probably get the Armaq kit also, perhaps its TAM 2C version, but I'm not that impressed with its details, from the photos shown so far.
What I do prefer from it over the Dukel kit is the way Armaq made the tracks, and that the lower hull has the suspension arms and details already built on -in Dukel kit they are separate parts as in most of modern plastic kits-. It might mean a lower detail quality but will simplify a lot the building process.

I wonder if those resin tracks would be good to improve the Jagdpanzer Kanone of Revell.

That's a really nice looking tank; looks like Soviet influences but easy on the eyes. Hope you sell a lot of them.
