I believe these are the same kits to be released by Model Collect:

They've been on pre-order forever.

Hmm - not sure. Modelcollect also announced an M-ATV which is also still on preorder while the Galaxy M-ATV has been out for a few months now. I guess we'll find out in time...

Regardless, I'm loving this new wave of super-detailed braille kits from Galaxy/T-Model, Flyhawk, Riich, Modelcollect etc.

I just wish others would release modern figures to bring life to the kits now being released. I dunno Reedoak is releasing excellent 3D printed figures in 1/72.

I'm not sure what this company's figures are like, but this forthcoming release looks promising:

BTW T-Model are hinting on social media that they have another release on the way - something Abrams-y. More details as and when.

The product description (Facts) states the kit contains PLASTIC SPRUES. Does this refer to actual styrene, or the usual soft plastic?

I saw in one review of their figures reference to 'semi-rigid plastic', whatever that means.

Re: the Abrams, it looks like it'll be a co-production with Tiger models:

https://toylandhobbymodelingmagazine.press/2018/11/25/new-from-termin-molds/

M1A2 SEP V2 with TUSK 1 (a strange combination, but never mind - I'm sure it'll be possible to build it as an either/or). The Tiger M1A2 is okay - nowhere near as good as Flyhawk's but accurate, and I guess they'll add new parts so it could be quite good.

Semi rigid plastic is similar to medium hardness. The plastic is hard but bendable at the same time.

Looks like Galaxy (T-Models) have some figures in 1/72, two seated modern US troops in set 72003 made of resin. Looks like they go nicely with the hummer variants, M-ATV, M-34G and MaxxPro. Will need to pickup the M-ATV and MaxxPro along with Kit 72001 and 72003 to accompany both kits. Now to see if Galaxy (T-Model) will release a British Coyote and French VBL and VAB
Cheers
