Here is a conversation with a modeler who has the various Neubaufahrzeug kits. Interesting to see his reasonings as which one he thinks is better. Even more interesting is the fact that he has the various kits. I mean really, don't you just need one of these tanks that they only made 5(?) of?

Terry's review has been months in the making.  Just like his Tasca 1:24 Panzer II review, i dont think we will ever see it.

Cool  New company ... and if you compare all offered kits of NEUBAUFAHRZEUG this one of AmusingHobby seemes to be the better choice, doesn't it?

Yeah, actually, in a lot of ways it does.

Amusing is a new Japanese company.  It's an adventurous first release given that DML and Trumpeter also make the same subject.  But here's a comparison of the sprues.  A forthcoming build report/comparison is expected.

I'd bet that Amusing had one in the works, then Trump and Dragon caught wind, and tried to beat Amusing to the punch. Loose lips and such.

There was a thread a month ago on Tank Talk regarding this kit and both the Trumpeter and Dragon/CH kits of the same tank. It was the first I had heard of the company.

Found this at Lucky Model:

I've never heard of this company and am just kind of curious how their stuff stacks up against the big boys. The CAD shots look pretty nice...


EDIT: Just did a little research (thank you PMMS!). Apparently, they are a new company and this is their first release. Hmmm, it is #003, so I wonder if 001 and 002 are in the pipeline. Wonder what they'll be.
