As I was very pleased to hear that Miniart has released some sort of film about this tank.. I have never heard something new about this news. Still, after a few months, there is nothing going on about this model. They seem to release other thing (which are certainly nice too).

What happend? Is this model still going to hit the shelfs?

Thx!

Miniart still has it listed as 'Coming Soon'
http://miniart-models.com/index.htm?/37011.htm
so I suppose we will just have to wait a bit longer.

No worries, there are other kits to build while waiting ...

I think it was pushed back because of the Takom releases and they didn't want to have T-54B market fatigue. They are doing the T-54-1 and T-54-2 first, which have never been done in plastic before and they can do modernized versions like they did with the T-44 before coming out with other variants. I'm sure we'll see it at some date.
