I saw this model over on Track-Link but it didn't say how much it cost or when I could order/pick up one. Does anyone know? The kit looks sweet.

Thank you Erik. I may have to save up a couple weeks for that kit.

Anyone else thinks the top run of track sits a bit close to the fender? The Dragon JS/JSU kits have the same problem.

Cheers,

Comparing the model to the real thing is a little difficult as the real one looks like it's on an IS-3M chassis. But I wouldn't be surprised if the model uses some Dragon DNA

Do you guys think it is worth the cost?

If you really have to have a SCUD-A, then it is probably worth the cost. However, 5-star stuff has left me feeling a bit in shock fromt eh price vs. what you get. The SA-6, for example, is not really leap s and bounds over the cromwell resin conversion, but it is priced higher and ends up being more work to do. Basically, it seems tobe over-engineered in resin, but that is my perception.

I have noticed a trend of much higher prices coming out of Eastern Europe, even on their websites, so it only increases my frustration of not being able to "get it all". :-) Yeah, I am a spoiled modeller, but its that DRIVE that makes it all fun.

Anyhow, I hope that Panzershop comes out with their 2S7 Pion this year, and for less than $300.00 a pop!

It looks pretty good, however Bronco Models has announced one as well. It might be a while before we see it but now that they have actually produced a kit it could happen. The last 5 star kit I bought had about 500 to many pieces (ZSU) and I took one look and passed. I think total pieces track and all was like 1200 pieces. That is just crazy.
