Nurenberg Toy Fair just started and we already have some news from major model kit manufacturers. Here's an annoucement from Takom.
We don't have any info on these upcoming kits than two photos taken from Takom's stand on Nurenberg fair. The rollups show the kits we already covered in our news with the addition of Tiran 4 and two slightly different variants of M47. Cool!

Oh great! Just when I've accumulated £60-odd of parts for a Tiran 4 and more for a T5 and have been waiting for the MiniArt T-54 and T-55. I wonder if they'll have changed the starfish wheel construction in response to the reviews about the spurious join line. There are 2 places they could have put it which would have matched real construction, but they chose a 3rd place ....... One imagines that a T5 will follow the T4. Likewise, one imagines that MiniArt might go down that road too.

Peter, it is a vicious circle what are you using to build your Tiran_4 ?! cheers bud

Yes the 105mm was installed by a few contractors/countries. Most notable the Spanish...

I'm thrilled to see real offerings rather than more paper-panzers. Now how about the Bergepanther that we've all been clamouring about?

Tiran 4 is a long story, Gilbertsakr. I picked up the Skif kit for less than a tenner, soon realising that was about a tenner more than it's worth. I thought of backdating the Tamiya T5, but that has problems. Then Takom and MiniArt both announced T54/55's so I thought I'd wait. The Takom T4 is potentially tempting, especially if it has spider wheels. But then the latest MiniArt stuff is remarkable. I see they currently only show the T-54 for 2017 release, no T-55 yet. I'd like to replace my unbuilt Tiran 5 project with something better than the Tamiya kit, and I'm also looking for base vehicles for a couple of SLA APC-55's, turreted and open-top. I've just ordered the Samer Kassis turreted conversion, and the open-top version needs a kit with interior. I imagine I'll pick up the Takom T4 and a T5 or three if they do that too. By the time I haven't got round to building them, MiniArt's offerings should be available. I have the Legend Tiran 5 and DEF Tiran 4/5 conversions and a bunch of etch, barrels and other bits.

Thanks, Guilbert. Now I've unexpectedly retired 4 years earlier than planned I might actually get round to building something and not just stashing stuff! In between trying to wangle a paid or volunteer job at Bovington, that is .....
