Per the company it" is a new development for entry-level players series. Modeller can easy do finish the upbuild Model, the production is simple and easy to stick and easy to bend, only need 5 to 10 minutes."

Looks like a great start to the new series. I hope they bring out a set of straps and buckles.

What makes their Tiger I grills easier to bend and stick? There's nothing that needs bending. And why are they called "Feather"; are they much thinner gauge brass sheet?

Maybe meaning lightweight, as in small and/or beginner PE?

True, but the KT grilles and Type 61 set do need a few simple folds. I guess they are saying it doesn't require advanced skills in origami and the use of complex tools. (No fiddly tool clamps or other 3D shapes to make...)

What type 61 set? I don't see anything for that tank in this news story.

Depending on how sticky these are, they can be the awesome, "why didn't anyone think of this before?" or the awful "piece of crap".

I do hope they copied eduard in having adhesive already applied to one side of the fret or the Panther/Leopard set will be nail hard to glue in cleanly.

If I am not completely mistaken then the so called Grill Set for the Leopard is Not for the grills but for enhancing Detail on the rear turret storage baskets.
