Not yet.  It hasn't hit stores yet.  The reviews are all of pre-release kits sent to certain websites and reviewers.  I would look at the overseas distributers first; such as Lucky Model, Hobby Easy, Hobby Link Japan, etc.  They will most likely be the first to carry them.  I am waiting for the chance to order one as well.

Agreed... With a new Start up company in Asia you're more likely to see them listed on those listed sites rather than domestic ones... at least for a while.

I've seen one of the kits and so far, I'm impressed. Nice level of detail and really interesting subject. Look for a detailed review in an upcoming issue of FSM.

Cheers, Aaron

H-Arty,K-dawg & Aaron, thanks. Great minds think alike [ myself excluded] !! After about 8 years returning to the hobby,realizing I couldn't even scratch the surface of WWII stuff,I've been switching gears to our present incursions.The manufacturer's are producing a dearth of good stuff.Plus,being fond of Diorana's, the scenery part is less cumbersome. Thanks, keith r.

The Pick Up truck w/ ZPU-1 from Meng Models has been available on Hobbyeasy since 10 Sep. I ordered 3 kits yesterday (one for myself and two for fellow modelers), now they're "confirmed and ready to ship". Price is $23.97 plus shipping cost (vary by your lacation). I'm thinking of getting another one.

psstoff995's lbro - On Luckymodel, they have two types of kit status, that is "Available" and "In Stock".

Make sure you order something that's "In Stock", not "Available", otherwise the wait will be so long. I knew all so well having ordered 89 times from LM and 53 times from HE.

Alright finally someone takes care about those vehicles , in plastic and not in resin !

I'm looking forward to see one of them here as a WIP .

RB Model from Poland have released a 14,5mm KPVT brass barrel #35B21, would this be suitable for this truck? Idea
