Oh yes, finally !!
I was waiting for years. I think, as usual, Miniart will do several variants of it, and I will buy them all.

Pleased for you, sad for your wallet.

Usually the first reply when a Miniart new release is announced is someone asking if they will also release this or that variant...
But with Miniart you can indeed be pretty sure that they will.

Looking forward to this one since it made a cameo on one of their boxarts. Interior kit too, should be neat

Just love these funky vehicles; to think that they were -albeit briefly- cutting edge military gear is sobering. Cool idea for a kit.
