Dear all,

I wonder if any one can explain it!

Why MiniArt do not release a good, accurate and detailed kit of the T-34/76 Hexagonal Turret (Hardedge turret, fall 1942 production) in 1:35

Dragon 1:35 scale T-34/76 are junk

Because the marketing decisions are sometime inscrutable....

Why, for example, despite the tank diffusion, A DECENT T72 KIT DOESN'T EXIST YET?

We need to be patient

and wait, wait, wait.......wait

Mauro, Maybe 2011 will bring us the Zvesda T-90 and we'll be able to make a late variant T-72 out of it. I'd love to see an M-84 too though......

Later than sooner ?

So far...I'm not complaing

When I've stopped making kit in 1990 there were few kits and they often were JUST CRAP. The best kits were produced just by Tamyia (or Hasegawa if you did aircraft kits) Internet had a low widespread so it was very difficult (and expensive) to find good photos or drawings. Extra sets were few or difficult to find (pratically just Verlinden and Eduard made extra sets in that period. The small shops usually didn't sold our products....and you couldn't order it on line....) To made a good model, you had to do a lot of scratch works...sometimes it was funny....sometimes it was BORING

Now, we are a lot luckier. The high level kit companies are more than the past and every mouth made a new stunning kit. That' the reason why the subjects are often rare or unusual. Pratically now there' s an extra set (resin or Pe) for every kit on production, and we can find easily photos or drawings which depict the tanks that we have on our workbench

So, in my opinion, for a decent T72 (or T34 exagonal turret) kit....we have just to wait patiently...don't worry
