Being pre-colored and snap-together, I hope they are not toy-ish, and at least better than Tamiya Rodney.

I'll wait to see the plastic. Beautiful detail in a CAD may translate into clunky and toy like compared to other 1/700 offerings, even a kit as venerable as Tamiya's Rodney.

well I have a few Meng kits, tanks and trucks, some of them already built, and they are all very well engineered, well detailed kits.

So do I, and I agree, but none of them are snap-together and pre-colored. I don't think they would have sold quite so well if they were.

Shame they haven't done the Rodney in WW2 guise, I would like one of the companies to do a Rodney, circa May 41....
