Great subjects! Will be looking for a review of the CA-1 Char for sure, that's been a long time in coming

I recently saw this on their site. The OT-62 conversions are really attractive ! But none of them are for a Russian vehicle, to my knowledge the OT-62 were in service with Czech and Polish armies only. And the TOPAS should be a Polish only version. We modern armor fans are living a fantastic period

I don't deny that these conversions are very interesting- the 50PK is a fairly bland vehicle up top and these conversions certainly add a lot of interest. But I am dissapointed to see that they didn't do an original BTR-50 conversion- i.e. with an open crew compartment and the ramps at the rear for various artillery pieces. Personally I think that would be an even more interesting conversion.

Karl, I guess Panzershop prefer doing conversions they don't think Trumpeter will possibly release as plastic kits. The BTR-50 is more likely to be in the Trumpeter range sooner or later unlike the OT-62 series.
