Well if their T-34s were any indication, I think we'll see a Porsche, Henschel, and possibly a JAGDTIGER.

I love the Trumpeter kits. They're very detailed, accurate, have PE parts, AND they're very easy to build.

i wish they could made the suspension metal though. That's the weakest part of the T-34s.

Quite agree, Trumpeter makes a great kit
found this update on the KT

Press release from Trumpeter via the Australian Distributors JB Wholesalers

Limited edition 1/16 tank this will be an one time production item, no second run production will be made as the tooling will be modified to other versions.
Clarification of "Limited edition". Current advice from the distributors is this that only the number of pre-orders received by a certain date will be produced.
This means if only for example 4500 pre-orders are received worldwide by Trumpeter then only 4500 kits will be produced, so if you are contemplating getting this kit you best pre-order it somewhere without too much delay.
