Few minutes ago I checked Takashi Yamane's DG. He is well informed person. Next month we will see new BIG release from Trumpeter- Faun Elephant. You can see its box-art at: http://www.interallied.co.jp/00203.htm

Very important question will be quality and accuracy of this kit. I'd like to see it similar to latest Chinese tanks releases. Now aftermarket companies should start thinking about detail sets and maybe conversions (late version, please).
For sure price of this huge kit will be lower than new Tamiya T-55.

I don't know about the pricing though, the new trumpeter stuffs are similar priced in HK as the Tamiya ones, and their big planes even cost more than Tamiya one....

I've read somewhere (where?) that not all version of Faun Elephant were able to transport Leo 2A5. Therefore German guys designed new version of trailer. But I don't know if old version of truck has enough power to transport this Cat. Hope sb. knows
