Interesting ..

Someone was asking me how the Takom kits compared to MENG ,   but I really don't know .
I have a couple of the MENG   pick-ups with the ZPU , ZU in the beds   ( I saw they offer a two truck set now ) but I haven't touched them and I know nothing about Takom.

   I'm awaiting the MENG King Tiger release ,   only because it is cheap - and I need two to build what I want
   I figured I'd go for a new tool ( I can't believe how many KT kits there are   : - container ships and container ships of them !   ;D )   for less $$ than the relatively ancient Tamiya version .
   The MENG kits have aluminum barrels , which I don't need , so bonus for the parts drawer 8)   )

   Isn't Mini Art supposed to be releasing another   T - ?
I thought I saw a release announcement @ Armorama ,   but I can't find it now ...

   So you get multiple glacis plates in the box ?
Is the 3-piece barrel the old-school split down the middle ?

EDIT   --   I found the release --->   T-54-1 , I want this kit ! http://armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=23313&mode=thread&order=0
