Hi
Nice one Meng
Interior as well, will be one for the stash.

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! I can't think of another company willing to take the risk, thank you Meng. Al

I wonder if they received any help from the Queensland Museum?

a happy day for WW1 "fans"!!!

Yep, I'm getting that one, too. MENG! I LOVE YOU!!!

Great news, I hope they do variants as well.

Cheers,

Christophe

Here's a nice restored period footage (no sound) showing a captured A7V :

Was only a matter of time. I heard ruors of modellers swarming around the A7V in Munster Panzermuseum.

I'd give it a shot, would wait for reviews though.

Sounds COOL and it's well time for a modern kit of this vehicle... so, I'll guardedly shout HURRAY! for Meng having stepped up to this. It COULD be quite the kit if it has a complete interior, and would certainly be great if it even limits to doing a bang-up on the exterior.

But... I'll follow Anthony's lead, and hang out until I see some solid reviews...

I have a real flinch about this, given the unfortunate route Meng took that Char 2C, where the details of that interesting suspension were simply skipped, leaving one to be limited to building only those specimens which had the full mud shields (so as to hide the lack of springs, etc.). While kitting the rare 2C was a real stunning move, and I was initially hugely excited (ask my kids and wife! ), the short-shot on the suspension nixed it for me.

I'll be waiting to see what this one turns out to be, and ready to send money if it passes a couple of tests for completeness and apparent accuracy to some details!

But if they have skipped on some salient bits, like that suspension...

Superb movie thanks!

Someone should send link to Star Decals...

Cheers,

Christophe

Now I can finally throw out my Tauro one!

Come on, this is no Dragon Black Plague kit!

Meng haven't really seriously messed up one of their kits yet, AFAIK.

And the only alternatives are the ancient Tauro kit and the better but also flawed Sparta resin kit, so there's no real competition there.

Cheers,

Christophe

The only interior details mentioned on the box is the driver compartment and fighting compartments. No engine!

Aren`t the fighting compartment and the drivers compartment enough interior?

I wonder which company does the 18 man crew?
Masterbox? Stalingrad?
Anyway a MUST HAVE!

For some - yes; for others - no.

AT LAST!
I waited for a plastic injection of this beauty for years!
Thanks a lot Meng!

oh Hell yes!! I've been whining about this for years and they deliver. I was never able to score a Spada kit and I'll build a dozen BL M103's before I tackle that Tauro A7V again, so this is awesome news.

God help me, what shall I beg for now? I guess it's time to step up my campaign for a Black Prince and ARL 44!

awesome!!!

Wahey!!! More WW1 goodies!

Awesome news.....I will definately get one. Now we need the whippet and some armoured caars...
