Looks like a worthwhile set even if it doesn't contain the dog shown on the box

Now, I wondered about that as well. Why wasn't the dog in outline like the tank? Confusing..Jim :-)

the dog is available as a separate kit with white-metal body, resin head, injection molded tail and etched brass teeth. Custom paint and a 24-page instruction booklet included along with your choice of injection molded paw track links and flexible ribbon track for the k-9 suspension. i for one am very excited about this new revolutionary development and look forward to assembling this state of the art creation from the geniuses at miniart.

Will the dog set have the option of turning it into a Soviet tank destroying dog?



On topic now, the set looks cool. May need this for some of my Russian AFV's I got in my stash.

Thanks Jim

This seems to me a very interesting, and fairly unique kit. Looks likea dio in a box, when you add a Russian tank of some kind.

Pity about the dog though.
