Our favourite robot-loving blogger of last year has come up with the goods

Link and length tracks, and some all-important tweezers!

Well, since I need a new pair of tweezers, I'll probably pick up this kit.

My Japanese is rusty, did the notice say it comes with four figures and the tweezers?

DJ - this is the news item on the English version of Tamiya's site

http://www.tamiya.com/english/news/news0706/news2.htm#35284

Still got the ones from my dissection kit back in the days when I was a student.

Interesting inclusion by Tamiya! (I'm still using a pair of tweezers I got in a Christmas Cracker years ago!)
Thanks for sharing the pics David, the more I see of this kit, the more I fancy building it.

Interestingly that site also gives us some pics of Tamiya's new 1/35 Hetzer too. As far as I can tell it looks like a good kit. (Time for a PMMS comparison review with this, the dragon and Eduard kits me thinks!)

I wonder if Tamiya will have some of that canned bread come with the kit
