I saw both reviews :) I went back to look what each kit contained, being that Meng is a superior (quality) kit, I will be giving that one a whirl. It is unfortunate that Meng has ltd armour models :( I would be buying a lot more of them. Unfortunately, with the exception of this one, they don't fit my scheme :(

Sorry Paul :( Too late she has been ordered, besides too much hit and miss with Trumpeter kits.

Research, same with any kit you see that you like, google the kit name and product code :thumb2:

Or keep and eye on the new releases, the trumpy t-90 was only released in November :thumb2:

I saw the trumpy reviews and I sold my zvezda and bought the trumpy T-90 :cheers2:

Plus I saw Stefan build his on the forum :cheers2:
