Title: new release... 1/56 scale WW2 Russian MBV-2 Armored Train
Post by: CompanyB on November 04, 2009, 06:41:09 PM
Debuting at Fall-in with our other new WW2 models.  We will eventually have a couple of turret options for this beast as well, so you can do early or late war.  Same track gauge as our other trains and armored rail car kits.

"trucks or wheels"

I'll post detailed unbuilt shots.  This painted one is heading straight to the display table at Fall-in.

We will be making some mods to the model though moving fwd.  New turrets, and some possible solutions for free rolling tracks will be explored.

This also is sort of a lead in to our lineup for 2010.  you don't think we'd just give the Russians a "rail tank" and not provide something for it to take on do you?   More to come...

Just a side note, the MBV-2 was mastered by Ian Crouch, has something to do with him being in monster mode.  ;)
