Wow that was quick, only just released and you have it. That is one fast travelling tank. Looks good. Robin.

Robin, I will be back in China for my 2 month biz trip soon, so made a special request to K&C HK to help on this. Otherwise, there won't be anyone receiving my shipment and making sure that they are in good shape. And then they have to hold for me for a few months before I get back. K&C HK has really excellent customer service!!
Rgds,Chris
Chris,
Well done. You are one Happy HA HA dude.
I am impressed with the tanks, even for a non-AFV collector.

Great set :salute::
This K&C ha-go looks much better than the FIGARTI version - the FIG version I feel the barrel is too long and hatch does not open.... {sm2}
Do hope K&C would do a re-issue of the Chi-Ha Tank as well - this piece is going for too high a premium on eBAY

Understanding Collector Mindset Marketing 101, the biggest turnoff is to resurrect old stuff, in an almost exact form/function, from the grave. Look at comics, look at the plastic Marvel/DC toys. Then, take a look at Lego. How wonderful they have become from just bricks. They do not reissue old stuff in exactly the same form.
I do hope that if a Chi-Ha tank (or anything) that ever gets reissued, there are noticeable differences. If they are for the same tank, open other hatches, close a hatch, have some new weathered/bullet marks/battle damage, or whatever that is creative and not an exact re-boot. It will whet the appetite of both old and new collectors. The recent Berlin Tenement is a wonderful testament to the creativity of K&C.
