^ +1 to what Greg said!  :) While LuckyModel usually is a good place to get Italeri kits cheap(er), the Leopard is only that cheap because it is currently on sale.

Perhaps use the appropriate paint for tinting the windshields of model cars?  Besides, the workers at Meng may have cultivated a different taste in beer. :D

BTW, so far the best price I've found for the Meng 1A3/1A4 is at AmiAmi... around ¥4700.

I'll stick to Sam Adams and their seasonals.

Heineken is not the only beer that comes in green bottles. ;)

Anyhow, personally I'll stick with Pacific Northwest/Cascadia micro-brews.*  ;D



*that said Pick Axe IPA from Tommyknocker in Idaho Springs, Colorado is yummy.

I see some of you are familiar with our Oklahoma 3.2% beer...   Personally, I will go for Tooeys from Australia. Love those big cans.   But back to modeling, I'm wanting that Meng Char IIC.

Sadly far too late for me - I waited & waited for a plastic one so finally bought the AEF resin conversion 15yrs ago & have since gone off IDF vehicles.
Though if Meng do a Namer apc very soon I might consider it.

A WW1 Brit Mk.I with trailing wheels, grenade cradle etc or a Schneider would definately get me to pre-order one ..... also waiting for a 35th Sentinel Tank :icon_sueno:
