I bought as many of them as I could...honestly, I have about 6 unbuilt
T-34-85's, 5 unbuilt SU-100's, and 5 unbuilt SU-85M's...that deal Marco
Polo Imports had awhile back was the ticket indeed. Seems odd though,
that they would try and re-release the T-34-85 if sales were that bad? I
go to my local guy, three kits there one week, all gone the next week,
regularly (dunno where he gets them). How much faster should they sell?

That stinks that the '76 might not see the light of day except as a
resin add-on/update/correction for another kit. I wanna see all of them
in plastic: all of the '76, the SU-122 (both versions), and an early
SU-85. Oh and for the record....THE SU-76 PLEASE.....apologize for the
yell, but it's an important vehicle that has been sorely neglected.
