25 May 2013 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 69 - Part A. In this Part "Art Instructor" present five new armors most of which are newly-released ones. Starting from Israel Merkava ARV from Hobby Boss and Russian 2S6M "Tunguska" Anti-Aircraft Artillery from Panda, followed by French AUX-1 155mm S.P. Howitzer from Meng Model and PLA ZSD89 APC from Hobby Boss, then topping it off with German Panzertragerwagen from Trumpeter. As always, I hope you'll enjoy viewing!.

I'd like to thank for all kind feedbacks and compliments that we received concerning Page 68 - Part D. They are very encouraging and they inspire us to keep producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures.

001 - 018 : Hobby Boss's Israel Merkava ARV

019 - 036 : Panda's Russian 2S6M "Tunguska" Anti-Aircraft Artillery. "Art Instructor" commented that this is one of the worst kits he has ever built. Imcomplete parts, small and fragile plastic, incorrect instructions, poor track design & assembly, etc. He had to build several parts to replace the missing/broken ones. He said "Panda" was not ready and should not have released this one. It took him nearly two weeks to build, he does not recommend this kit to anyone at any cost.

037 - 054 : Meng's French AUX-1 155mm S.P. Howitzer

055 - 070 : Hobby Boss's PLA ZSD89 APC

071 - 094 : Trumpeter's German Panzertragerwagen
