Uh oh, new kit always takes the wind out of my sails when I'm hacking on an older version!

As to plastic color on new kits, I admit I prefer the neutral gray or sand/tan over darker panzer gray or a shade of green, but I wouldn't let the color of the plastic on a tank model deter me from buying it. Now on a car model (red or yellow seem harder to cover) it might, but would really depend on the subject.

Hi again,

Follow Toyo72's link for the sprueshoots, these guys can do the kit better justice then my pictures ever will :)

Dear all,

Thanks for stopping by :)

@ Gamera, I sure will, if suitable I will also post some comparing comments with regards to the Zvezda  T90 that I left to mature a year ago.

@ Rob, this is my first ever MENG, but i think they used a green plastic in the A39 TORTOISE, then again you could argue that was a correct choice. The MENG comes with Parade markings which probably would support the choice of green here to.

Anyway - who cares :)

Looking forward to unpacking the box, it should be there when I come back from vacations in France.

Best Regards

Johan

Just don't complain about it being molded in dark green. Someone on another site ranted about the poor color choice and was raked over the coals. It was rather ridiculous, both the initial rant and the subsequent raking.

Really, Did someone not tell them about paint.

Be sure to post some pics and details and observations

Ohhhh, who says you can't pack coolness in a box!

Hope you guys will post the results when you're done, always enjoy seeing more modern stuff around here.

Mine is sitting at the post office right now.  I'll pick it up this afternoon. WooHoo
