On the Meng Facebook page - not sure about this - a full model, or add on/replacement bits?

On the ICM website - coming soon, to go with their well-regarded Gladiator........................

Odd that they don't call them RAF..........

It looks like the Jagdpanther thing is a conversion set: the caption calls it a “heavy tank destroyer hull” so I suppose it’s only the grey bits.

[Dave Ward]

Jakko,
Odd, that you would buy the base model, then buy extra bits with the detail covered up! It only looks like tarps draped over the top, and canvas wrapped around the gun, surely not a major hurdle for a modeller?

Are you sure you’re thinking of the same generation of spoon-fed modellers that Meng is?

On the ICM website - not new - a joint boxing

On the MiniArt website......................................

Not sure why it is a 'Special Edition'
Dave

[Guest]

Vehicle plus crew in a single box, I suppose is what makes it special?

[Dave Ward]

Nope,
I've got the Bantam & British crew in my stash from years ago ( although I think the crew has gone walkabout! )
Dave :worried:

[Guest]

Must be the funky colour scheme, then …

[Dave Ward]

Jakko,
'special edition' solved. - It has PE! - otherwise, colour, decals etc the same
Dave

[Guest]

They could have made that a little more obvious — it kind of expects you to be familiar with the kit to realise what’s special about it …

Slat armour update - no, that doesn't look very user-friendly to me!

Slat armour update - no, that doesn't look very user-friendly to me!

A lot more realistic than the moulded plastic efforts though Dave.
