I can’t believe the price is actually 85 Euros – it’s got to be more than that – I must not be reading this correctly. It’s mostly pre-built and pre-painted, has rotating turret, flashing gun fire from barrel. Most curious. Anyone know anything more about this?

It was more than that, according to your link: 108,70 EUR TXE down to 83.61. I want to know what is wrong with it that the price be so drastically reduced.

If the cost is 85 Euros, I’m scared to think of the cost in dollars.

85 Euros is $110 at today’s rate. What’s so scary about that? Now, if it had been 85 pounds, you might have a point!

I had those prototype 2 years ago, directly from manufacture for evaluation. for details, it is prety good, very accurate. for running, it is something like from walmart.

Say, you did? That’s interesting. Who manufactures it? I got the impression it was Blast Models, but I don’t see them making a styrene kit.

Also, what you saw was a prototype, right? I assume the completed item would be better still.

Seems to be that Mitsuwa Models T-34/85 that came out (briefly) last year. Some kind of tie-up (or maybe not) with Trumpeter, as I recall. Some guy had one at a model show in Osaka last year. Pretty nice!

On the site, in the box under the flags, click on USD and the prices will be displayed in US dollars.

Yes, I know it’s the shop’s name, but the name Blast Models is also prominently displayed on the photo of the product.
