Well, you didn't expect a re-tool did you? We are talking Smug-San himself

At least more 48th on the way - gotta be positive!

Groan!

I liked it better when Tamiya reboxes were for domestic consumption only...they do not need to "share" this with the rest of the world, do they? I can buy the old GPA and the ICM set of figures for less on eBay...or any model swap.

What a disappointment!!

For a moment, I thought we'd see a brand-new T-37/38/40. After all they did the UE tankette and apparently it sold very well... I know, I was getting my hopes unrealistically high...

Of course, right below it is the new Panzer II Ausf. C.

Every time I look in my box of unbuilt Russian stuff and see the AER T-37 (how can they get plastic that thick and that warped?) I wish that someone would come up with a new one....

I built two T-38's (one with MG, one with 20mm cannon) and those were bad enough (especially the tracks!), but I never had to courage to even start the T-37 (mine is by Maquette, but I know it's the very same piece of equine dung...) Every time I open the box, I cry...
