Me too!!! But the 76s would be a good practice piece before the 85s will come :-) :-) :-)

Hi, didiumus, heard someplace that they T34-85s would start coming out around the fist part of July. This is most likely Far Eastern time, is it most likely will be at least the last of that month or August before we'll see them over here. This is just a guess.

We're lucky Trumpeter seems to be real good at pretty well releasing theri models basically when they say they will. So it won't be one of those wait, and wait, and wait kind of things.

I would like to see this price get knocked down $30 or $40 more though. Think $150 is a tad too high.

Be patient, it'll come.

Take care, Sgirty

I just picked up my T-34 (1942 model) yesterday. WOW! I'm so psyched to build this thing. Just waiting to dig up some reference photos for a bit of detailing (not that the kit needs it). I agree the kit price is a little high (my LHS has em for $169, my price $110) but compared to the Tamiya static Tiger I @ $399 (w/o interior, engine and such) I can't complain. It's only a few dollars more than the Leopolds. I have a T34/85 on order too. My wife is going to kill me (thats 6 1/16 kits, where shall I ever put them!!)
