Another nice looking kit from PSC and once more they beat Battlefront to the punch.

Well said.

They're going to bankrupt me with their new T-55 box set, and now this. My poor wallet.

Great stuff...one of the most ugly oddball vehicles from the Germans...but I secretly love it.

The PCS T-55 box ($29 for 5) is going to be a lot easier on your wallet than the Battlefront version ($65 for 5)!

And PSC stuff seems to be just fine in terms of quality (though the PZIV you have to pay attention when assembling the tracks). I got my first BF plastic kit and while they were fine, they didn't blow me away. Certainly weren't worth the double price. I thought I'd check them out though.

As for this release, I think it's awesome. I don't think I'd want 5 of any one variant, but I could see building a few different vehicles from this kit.

As far as the T-55 miniatures go, the BF models are resin and metal, not plastic, which is one of the reasons for the big price difference.

For the 8-Rad, I'm not sure how many I want yet. Theoretically you can take up to six in some lists but I'm not sure it would be worth taking so many.
