Hi Guys,

I contacted the Dutch import firm for Trumpeter, and finally a release date is given for the long awaited 1:16 T34 series in Europe.
The date is gonna be 25th of June...as said, this is for Europe!
That's 29 nights sleeping from now...I feel like a little kid again, who's waiting for Christmas to come!! (:-) (:-)

Greetz, and happy waiting, John.

Hi Hang in there DRAGONWAGON. The 25th of June will be here before you know it. And I've heard the next one is due out somewhere around the first part of July. Come Sept. we modelers wil be liteally swimming in T-34s. Ha, ha!

By the way, I don't know if you've seen it or not, but PMMS has listed another couple write-ups on this model. Instrucitons, dimensions compared to the real thing and all.

Take care, sgirty

I picked up one of these monsters last night.
the T-34/76 model 1943


MSRP is about $170 USD....
But it is worth every penny!

The box is huge!(23x16) As is the model.

And at first glance..it is a real gem
The kit has everything! A full crew compartment, an engine bay, and a cannon breech. The only thing not included are some 1/16th scale crewmen. (hopefully this will be adressed)

All I can say is Im very glad i bought this thing...even if i did put a huge dent in my bank account.

Ill post some pics soon...
