Dear All
After looking more in details to the German pages and thank to my colleague,

Trumpeter just present a Scracth version of the trumpeter not the production one.

So we will release end of this year may be ???

I hope this clarify the situation
Cheers

Old news im afraid! Although still good news! Apparently the kit will be out around september, so still a long time to wait and judging by the fact they have only got a scratch built model done it still has a lot of development.

I wonder if the finished kit will come with the anti-RPG 'slat' armor? If it does, I hope it's not molded in with the rest of the parts, as that would be a b(bleep)ch to get out of there. *Shudders, remembering the bustle racks on his Tamiya M1A1 and Trumpeter M1A2 kits*
