Looks nice, but how much will it cost in the UK?  Looks suspiciously like a Dragon offshoot so I suspect I may have to sell a kidney.

Well as Colin posted it he may well be thinking of getting them in so lets give him a chance before you get over negative

When it comes to the price of kits from the far east, I'd rather expect them to cost a fortune, that way when they arrive and they *are* a small fortune, I'm not surprised.  Cynical? Me?  No, merely realistic.

Don't worry Geoff, I wasn't thinking of stocking them, I am sure they will end up at Hannants soon enough! Far East prices are silly but China still able to do cheap stuff, like the new Hobby boss 1/72 Northrop F-5E at a whopping £4.99!

You get a pair in each box plus ground handling trolley and and hanging rails for it to fit into the bombay of a Renzan or Peggy, and Its £16.99. I picked one up at Huddersfield

Built a resin one of those (A&V I think) always liked it. May well get one when it comes out
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I've that kit stashed away somewhere too but I think the Meng one will be a bit more refined.

As the Tortoise was got up and running for the Tankfest 2011 at Bovingdon last year i wonder if Meng will do the British Tank they are aiming to demo this year the Black Prince ?
