I'm with you on that, Tiger. The Dio/Vignette possibilities are dancing around in my mind already.

Be carefull gentlemen.Trumpeter seems to be announcing alot of really good releases.The Faun Elephant Transporter and the Chinese Tank Transporter are egarly yet,I'll believe it when I see it in plastic.Their quality is supposedly getting better but with the blitz of new kit announcements,I have to wonder if it will slip back to the Typee 88 K1.I wish them nothing but the best for selfish reasons.I want the Faun and other tank transporter to be great so I pray that they will keep an eye on thier quality.

My mind boggles at the effort required to paint the crew. You're right, there are a lot of dioramas there, if you have 10 years to paint all of the figures...

Just my 2

Hum...As this ' s exactly the kits from hasegawa, already made in 1/72nd scale, I ' m a firm believer of a typo error of some sort...! Although pantograph technology could make the thing feasible....Wait and see,as usual !
' ve a nice day...!

I wonder if they are repackaged stuff from CMK as they have these in 1/35.

As far as I can tell this is not a typo. They may be copies of other manufacturers resin kits.

That may be a good guess for the Karl Morser. The site claims these will be Injection molded. I can only guess how much they might cost...
Then the cost of crewing them.

Yes it is Josh.
