Very nice. I almost bought one before their release but held off & now cost locally, if you can find them, is pushing 3x higher what the initial offer was @ 13,000RMB. I came across the Stug & Tiger at a seller in Beijing and almost choked at their asking price.

Why they quit... too little demand, not at all good at marketing & certainly, didn't have deep enough pockets. They moved to doing movie props but seem to have disappeared after making one IJA light tank. Now am waiting to see if Warslug can make a go of it - they talk big but certainly appear to have both of the above latter points that brought down Metal Box. At least some of the new Warslug models are appearing here in some very expensive accessory shops in high end shopping malls. Time will tell.
