And it does mention the show by name now. Odd.

One of those that makes me wonder why they bother, given that the vast majority of modellers and AFV enthousiasts will never have heard of this at all … Except, of course, that the Japanese kit market is HUGE, and that will probably love this.

Another character from a ' famous TV series ' ( Squid Game ) I suppose it will be 'famous' to somebody, but I'm afraid it leaves me totally indifferent - then again I'm a miserable old git!

It’s most definitely a famous TV series, given that:

It is Netflix's most-watched series, becoming the top-viewed program in 94 countries and attracting more than 142 million member households and amassing 1.65 billion viewing hours during its first four weeks from launch

For all I know, I would really enjoy it, but I don’t feel like watching it

[The Smythe Meister]

OK ....
.... So my curiosity got the better of me!!
Don't really do TV that much,but Rach and I have just watched the first episode of this, and....
really enjoyed it!! .... I can see me getting hooked, it's certainly weird,but compelling

I'm a miserable old git too Dave, but Squid Games was a great TV show. Not that I have any intention of making the model. Let's face it, a good TV show/Film/Book etc doesn't really make a model.

A man in a boilersuit how exciting.

Nope, not seen it and don't intend to either...

That's the only kit I find (very) interesting. Don't understand the "paper" tanks, really (but after all: "tastes are tastes" as the guy using nettles as toilet paper used to say ... :tongue-out3: )
