Mate ..detail on this will be scary..Dragons was serious for such a small machine..individual track links 
Miniarts will be scarey to..possibly very scary 

Looks like it, Miniart seem to go nuts these days

Here's the link, finally.

Knowing these guys there'll be more parts in the pak 40 gun than in the entire Italeri version of this kit 😂

Tell me about it! I just don't get the obsession manufacturers have in competing with each other to see how many individual parts they can cram in a box. All it does is result in an insanely complex model full of stupidly small bits that's a pain in the central orifice to build. Individual track links are the worst thing ever. I absolutely hate them (along with p/e parts!!)

Honestly..im not sure why Beer mate but I'll bet it's a prestige thing...you'll remember how over the yrs how a kits ability to be amazing was not also quality but parts count..the more they had the more detailed ..the more realistic...of course that meant the little tiny models..like the RSO ..Kettengrad  Panzer 1 were nightmares to put together if those hundreds of little parts didn't fit together..ask me how I know 
Individual track and PE are coffee and tea matey..either ya do or you don't..im a coffee guy 😆
Individual track..when it's good track is perfect for little models like this as there's no strain on the running gear ..unlike the Italeri RSO which bent everything cause the tracks just sucked ..as all Italeri track pretty much does.
The draw back of indi track when it's this small ..the carpet monster could have a field day ..even tho I do love them they can be nightmares but when there good ..dude nothing beats em ..ya just gotta get a feel or a rhythm for em ..I still havent mastered em totally yet but not bending the return rollers or drive sprockets cause the tracks are to tight ..brilliant 
PE ..you should see how many different tools I've got just for PE ..mate I tell ya ..it's bloody refreshing to come across a kit without it 😍

😊👍. Well, I think we're in broad agreement here. Personally, I'd go for one piece tracks any time even though it's almost akin to heresy nowadays to say that 😂.
I certainly would not  buy any AFV kit that only offered individual track links. Horses for courses I guess 😂
Link and length tracks are, I think, a fine compromise. As for p/e parts? Well, any that are included in kits I buy are binned immediately, and, unconditionally

Well I'll tell ya what ..send ya PE to me then 😆 🤣 😂
I am definitely not a fan of AFV Clubs indi tracks mate ...they always end up being to stiff and won't sit right and since I'm a fan of WW2 German half tracks and AFV Club make alot od German half tracks I had to replace alot of tracks 
Luckily those were the days before wiffy bit me hard 😅 🙃

That's a lotta tanks!

'Tis, indeed. And Tanks for the link.

Some interesting stuff - they may be getting some of my money this year...

The more I see it, the more I like the LGOC armoured lorry.

You cannot view this attachment.

Looks like an armoured Toblerone.

The wheels are very modern - large diameter, low profile tyres.   I'd like to see them on an SUV...

Pimp my wagon... There's a whole new whiff category.

In my old fashioned Northern English refrain, I mean lorries/trucks. The larger variety, it doesn't include tillies/pickups/utes. Something big enough to carry most of the others on it's back.

With a mega-sound system pumping out an EDM remix of Lee Marvin?*


*For those unaware of the reference, Lee Marvin "sang" in the weird western
musical Paint Your Wagon.

Along with Clint Eastwood.  I only know about that particular movie because my late father had it in his VHS collection.

And it got to No 1 in the UK charts
