Wow, I want to know how this will be different from the Meng kit, which looks fabulous.

The Meng kit is fabulous. The only niggle so far that requires work is the way the driver's bulkhead extend too far past the engine opening. Differences? There shouldn't be too many. Externally there's just the rear hatch which has the periscopes built into it, rather than at the rear of the hull. The ramp never had firing ports on M3's, so it will be absent those. Internally just a different arrangement with more missile storage and fewer seats on the right, and a very unnecessary sheet metal cover for two water cans. As far as differences in the kits, the metal tracks and barrel, and some resin, but the Meng tracks were already very nice.

I hope that doesn't jack up the price too much! Hisham

When it rains it pours. Stomp.

Oh yeah. I smell new resin!!

No, but those who understand the "foot stomp" should just be happy. There's at least one modeler on the site who doesn't care for them. As an aside, I'd be pretty one dimensional if i limited myself to resin.

Even better!! Can't wait to see what it is. Ant hint?
