You wait all of your life for a kit of the neubaufarzeug and then you get three kits in one year. Just wondering about cost as compared to DML and Trumpy. Jeff

It's selling for around $49 at Hobbyeasy.. a few $ more than Trumpeter's lit.. and almost $20 less than Dragon's kit. Hisham

Amazing price on that imo. I like what I see. I really hope everything is newly toiled and not just a repop of older molds like tamiya does. I agree the name sounds bad, but if this company is anything like the other Japanese companies- MK, tamiya, and tasca, I will be very happy. Who knows, they might be the next tamiya!

molds from Dragon or Trumpeter. I read one post on Hisham's other thread about a thought that AH might be somehow related with Trumpeter, just like Cyber Hobby is an offshoot of Dragon. On a related note, I am sure you can recall many of Tamiya's recent releases are reboxes of other kits. I am hoping that AH dont do the same. I guess I should have been more clear

I find this announcement mildly 'Amusing'. Actually I am a bit more than mildly excited! I converted Hobby Easy's price and it came to about US $50 (less shipping) which makes it maybe a bit more than Trumpeter's but considerably less than DML's. Will this company be carried by anyone in North America? I hope so. This seems to be an amazing initial release by a hitherto unheard of company - maybe they've been doing previous moldings for other companies, or under a different name. I'm glad I didn't rush off to buy either of the previous releases from the competition. If they (Amusing Hobby) had released this model 6 months ago they would have had a sure fire winner. Unfortunately, even with an excellent looking kit, they are third in line with the Neubaufahrzeug, and, I think, most people who would have been interested in buying the vehicle have already done so, from either DML or Trumpeter. At least they didn't release a Panther or Tiger! I just hope that sales justify their release and encourage Amusing Hobby to produce more original (less covered) vehicles.

Me again! Sorry!! I didn't read all of the previous comments and most of what I said had already been covered. tsk..tsk, shame on me!

I thought it was a p1ss-take when I first saw the poster, with the Engrish descriptions. I pre-ordered the CH kit when it was announced and thought I wouldn't bother with the other two versions (Trumpy's #1 or DML's 3-5). But this looks great, is probably $20 cheaper than the Dragon version and who knows, if enough of us buy this, the company might survive and bring us more esoteric multi-turreted releases. The main question I ask is, why are three companies fighting over this limited market share when there's a vast untapped reservoir of modelling money to be made from a Grosstraktor, Vickers Independent A1E1, T-28 and T-35. Cheers, Lucien

good kits

Hi all. LuckyModel has this kit for $49.99 and $13.16 shipping. $63.15 including shipping and handling is a decent price. They don 't convert from yen into dollars..they just give you the dollar price. I just started using them recently and I am extremely happy with their service and prices. Just thought I'd give a "heads up" to those of you who are serious about buying this kit. Jeff
