I'v seen some pics on some great 1/48 kits from Hobby Boss. Their T-34 kits have complete interior detail including engine compartment etc...Has anyone heard of an american distributer or even a release date?????

the first release will be the 76mm gun kit, and should be out in Japan in the first week of august. No idea who is distributing for the US, or even when

Should that be the new competitor from Tamiya??

Well if that brand does.. he will have a big advantage with all those interior parts.

The Hobby Boss kits should be in Europe the first week of August. I am waiting for my supplier to get them in we will probably see them at Wings n Treads my mid to late August. I belive that they are releasing Shermans and T-34s first but I will need to get confirmation on this.

I've just picked up a T34/85 Flattened turret & has complete interior as in 1/16th scale . Total of 4 T34 variants 2x 76 mm 1942 &1943 pattern 2x 85 mm flattened & angle jointed . There are also 5 sherman variants but these have no interior they are m4 75mm mid production ,m4a1 76mm,m4a3 75mm,m4a3 76mm &m4a3e8 .There is also an LCM 3 which looks like the trumpeter 1/35th kit scaled down.

Hobby Boss are offspring of Trumpeter, so I would expect that Stevens International will distribute their kits in the US.

I have all 4 of the T-34 kits, the 5 Shermans and the Landing Craft, and will be posting reviews shortly. They are worth getting!

There is a review of the T34 series on The Perth site

http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/48/hobbyboss/hb84806-8.htm

Luckymodel has there in stock $11.99 USD.

They also have the 1/35 track kits in stock....I've ordered the Cromwell tracks

I'm hoping they will do the T34 series in 1/35

They have those Hobby Boss kits at Hobby Easy for 12.05 CDN a kit.
Hobby Boss are also going to be releasing 1/35 scale M4 high speed tractors early and late that look promising.
