In their haste to get a model of the PLA's new light tank to market.................

Oh well - these PLA tanks are virtually unknown outside China - I had to check to see if they were in service! One for the domestic market...........

Let them watch this, they’ll change their minds:

Well, Border Models have accused Takom & RFM of stealing their 3D designs - there is a posting on their Facebook page, which I won't quote, bad language, defamation and all!!!!!
Reply from the Takom Facebook page
" Border Model has committed serious libel and slander against Takom and Rye Field without any conclusive evidence. Moreover Rye Field Model has conclusive evidences to counter such accusations. Rye Field Model and our company will take legal action against Border Model. Please pay attention to the progress regarding this matter as we follow-up with legal action. "

AAAAny way Trumpeter/HobbyBoss on Facebook have dropped a teaser on 'Leo2 rebirth'....................
On their Facebook page Zvezda have posted renders of a 1/35 T-62................

All the nastiness referred to in #413 has been removed - whether by Facebook or by mature reflection by the participants, I can't say!

Does look good but would just end up grinding to a halt when it comes to doing the tracks like every other tank I've (half) done!!
