Perhaps because they are boring and unspectacular? The "much more produced and used tanks" I mean... Cheers, Christophe

Nice try from panda, but after their first two kits I think I'll buy this from an other manufacturer. No more panda kits for me.

Perhaps because they are boring and unspectacular? The "much more produced and used tanks" I mean... Cheers, Christophe[/quote] I guess it boils down to taste, because I personally find this pretty boring and unspectacular. I'd rather have three manufacturers battle it out to produce, say, a BMP-2.

Or a modern, state of the art kit of an A15 Crusader. After all, we only built a little over 5000 of them..........

I love British armour; my Avatar is my build of a crusader where I scratchbuilt the interior but the fact is, there IS a crusader in plastic, and there are loads of other kits already in plastic. Its not like it used to be when there was no kit of most things Surely fans of the unusual deserve to get a kit of a subject they like too? But of course, no amount of complaining about what does or does not get released matters, because the model market is a fine expression of commercial darwinism in action. If this doesn't sell the companies will at best never do anything like this again, at worse will go out of business If it does sell, maybe we have to accept that how many were produced has absolutely nothing to do with whether a model should be kitted Ultimately money decides

Oy gevalt . . . Why does EVERY announcement about a new kit turn into a thread about what it "should" have been? Is it really that difficult to just let one go without chiming in? KL

I can't agree more... We have a specific topic to post what kits we would like to see in the future, so what the h#// have to do comments about that in this particular topic? If anyone does not like this kind of models, keep buying and building other stuff, or waiting till your soooooo desired kit becomes reality, and if it makes you happier share that where it should be. This post IS NOT that place, let me tell you...

Back to the topic, Hobbyeasy has it on Pre-order: LINK U$38 and less tan U$15 for shipping to South America, seems to be a reasonable Price... I don't like too much Panda engineering, but will wait until actual reviews and see how the final product is.

Well, you guys are all wet...! ;-) I just opened the box last night, and it's a nice lookin kit. The hull halves "snap" together without any glue, and the hull texture is nice. Don't care about accuracy, suffice it to say it's not ANOTHER frikkin PANZER...! Enough already with those things. This is a unique looking kit and something you DO NOT see everyday. The molding is crisp and the tracks are clean and go together well. I for one would like to see MORE "weird" armour thingies coming from the kit makers. Now if someone were to make an XM800 Twister...I'd be drooling for joy...! just sayin... thehermit
