If anyone has gotten this model yet, would they please post a review either good, bad, or indifferent?

I don't have it, but I think the hull construction may be plastic and it doesn't seem to come with figures. Check the online retailer www.theflyingmule.com for some great pictures of what it looks like, however

I'm pretty sure the hull is all plastic. Looks nice though.

I am planning to order one this weekend, and with a little luck I should have it in hand by next weekend, and I will try to offer my impressions on it after I receive it . I'm probably not the best guy to do an "in depth" review though,

too bad Schizuki is not my next door neighbor, he's just the man for the job.

Buy two, send one here, and I'll have that review posted tout suite

I was afraid you would say that...

But seriously, maybe I could send you a series of good quality pics from various angles and you could at least offer some opinions based on what you see. I know it's not the same as holding it in your hands and giving it a good going over, but it might be helpful as I try to prepare a review that will be reasonably useful. I am purchasing an FOV KT at the same time, and I was considering doing a sort of "head to head" kind of review, what do you think??

Thanks to all for the replies. I'm leaning toward not getting this one unless I get a positive review. The tank's having a crew would be something that might sway my choice, but it appears that it does not. The paint job is just too garish. Dragon in 1/72 has already done this paint job much more accurately and I'm betting that Hobby Master will as well when they make their version in 1/48. I'm crossing my fingers for a better series 2 effort by 21st Century.

Patience my friend, I believe this is but the first of several paintschemes we will see on the 21C Porsche KT. To be honest, I'm not crazy about this scheme either, but that's not stopping me from getting it anyway

Got both the new sherman & the kingtiger & there great
only downside is that you don't get any figures
The sherman dozer is a must have

I don't like 1:72 armor, too small. Also, I'm not real crazy about them not including at least a tank commander in the new vehicles.
