Well to keep it in perspective, these are purely leisure items. We, certainly myself, can live without them. In contrast to what was available when I first began in this hobby many years back today's wide array of existing offerings ( of both primary models and accessories ad nauseum ) are happy times...

As an aside I emailed them several times about ordering their T-55 and have yet to receive a reply.

I personally won't judge Hooben, it isn't my place, however on the surface they seem to be having a devil of a time getting traction on their armor product product line. My hope is that available resources are engaged developing production rather than their website...

Hopefully we'll hear some positive news in the coming months.
