There were few more good news for the modern armour fans over the past days again.

First Hobby Boss announced another kit which was not really expected. Building on their series of Merkavas which seem to be popular with modellers they have rather quietly added Merkava ARV to their lineup on the web.

Not a lot of details are available at this time, so we might need to wait when will this piece come to the market.

The second announcement is also one of those most welcome and perhaps also overdue. Kinetic model has announced RG-31 to be released in January 2013. The boxart describes the kit to be the US army version, but let’s hope you will be able to make Canadian out of it too.

So if you were thinking about what you would like to see under the Christmas tree, there’s some inspiration.
