Gran is one of those I've heard about but I've never come across.  They've got a mixture of good short run ground based stuff and aircraft, mostly Russian and seem to have a thing about SAM's.  Their aircraft range has stuff that has been covered by other manufacturers (if not widely), but their ground range seems pretty unique including a range of Gaz Vodniks.

They've got a list of new stuff pending, including a SA-5, Hawk, Rapier, ZU-23M, SS-26 Stone and Gaz-69.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Hawk?  YES!  Now I can do my Hawk-armed Iranian F-4 and F-14.

Not sure how soon they'll be out Tom, the page says 2010/2011.  I've heard a few rumblings on the net that Gran have had their ups and downs, finger crossed we'll see these kits released.

Cool - I hope we see some over here: those SAMs have all sorts of possibilities!  :thumbsup:

I think 'raised passableness' is the maximum achievable standard for any Eastern Bloc vehicle!
