Hi Steve,
Thank you for share this news with us. Well, I guess I need to get a couple of this baby too. I always like the Marder III w/7.5 than the marder III using 7.62 russian gun. So any news on the tamiya Hummel? :-)

In Hong Kong, I would venture a guess that it will be possibly along the price line of USD 22.00 or less maybe. But I could be wrong. I think I got my Marder III for about USD 19.00 or something like that.

Nope just Importers being greedy when it hits the states....Just look at the Pershing: 2800 yen or about $24 USD and when you goto a local Hobby shop or a place on line it retails from anywhere from $44 dollars to $32 bucks.

Dave,
According to the Tamiya web site the Marder III M costs at 2500 yen, and should be less than US$20 (Under HKD $150)...
I've been to the hobby shops in the US and Canada and found that their price is sometimes double in Hong Kong. I think that I am a bit lucky that I can get almost all AFV real cheap.

You can bet I'll be looking forward to that one, too.
I have those instructions, Mihai, but they're hard to scan (the file size for one page is very large, I keep getting errors, and most importantly, I don't really know what the heck I'm doing). If anyone can help me with this (like how to scan the entire booklet and have it saved in one spot) that would be great.
