Trumpeter recently put up info on this kit on their site, with lots of pics of the box, the hull halves, and every other piece of plastic that will be in the kit;

I hate to say it, because I cut my teeth on Tamiya kits, but between these guys and Dragon, Tamiya's getting left behind.

No definite idea on the price. I talked to the owner of a LHS, and he suggested somewhere in the neighbourhood of $200CAD, which is a tad shy of $150 USD, but that's just rumours, nothing definite..

You said it. I hope Tamiya have something big on the way.

$150 US? Would be nice if that is what it ends up at.
I need to do some Russian armor anyway. Big Smile [:D]

I just bought one yesterday (May 15). Looks great in the box! I got the '42 model (the one in the link above is the '43 model). It was 15,000 yen ($136 USD)
The interior looks great, with some choice PE parts inside and out. Nice texture on the cast turret and armor plates of the hull. Tires are rubber, tow cable is brass wire cable.
No idea how it all fits together yet, but heck, nothing really fit well on the real T-34, so I'm not very worried about it.

The two T-34/76 models will be out this month, with two versions of the T-34/85 (versions from two different factories) out in July.

4 T-34s to choose from!
