Nice, but those tracks will be crap more than like, which is a shame as no doubt this will be another kit with an RRP in the UK of around £50. Based on my AUF1 build though it will fit well, it will be nicely detailed and generally worth the money almost, but a possible let down if the tracks are as bad as those on the AUF1.

Me too... then I'll be spending another $50 on tracks. I won't even open the bag for those Meng offerings.
After seeing Gav's and the ones in my T90A... no chance.
I'll but the kit though. :th:

I know what your saying about the tracks guys but just looking at the finished model she looks sweet , pity it looks like another two piece split barrel on the sprue shots but it's smooth so no bother really, Gav I reckon we will pay around the thirty quid mark from our friends in the east once initial interest as died down :cheers2:

Russ, no doubt we could get it cheaper. What I mean though is that the kit will be marketed with an intended price in the UK of around £50 as the other big tank kits are from Meng. And for that price, its a shame the tracks are so bad.
