I just ran across this on eBay. It appears to be a new kit from Academy of the ROK (S. Korean) K9 Howitzer. It looks pretty nice. Has anyone seen it before?

Academy K9 on eBay

Thanks for the link Gino.

I saw this kit announced a few weeks ago on the Academy website but didn't knew it was already released in Korea.

That Special Editon package is simply too good to let go so I've asked one of my friend who do eBay to order one for me.

I saw it somewhere else as well, but not on their website. I'll be getting one, and hoping that soon they'll decide to do the Japanese 109 clone as well.

Is this the same kit?

I found a review on MMZ too. It looks like a pretty good kit.. It has the anti-slip surfaces, and the figures don't look too bad.

Is that camouflage decal sheet for the figures? How does that work?

Thanks for the link Hisham. It does look like a nice kit indeed.

Yup, the decal sheet is for the figure. There was some talk about this a few months ago but don't remember if it was here or elsewhere.

On a side note I just received an email from my friend confirming he placed my order. If all goes well I should receive it in about two weeks

Wow, looks like a nice kit compared to other Academy kits, if only all of them were like this.

Ordered one.
I expect the additional goodies not to be included in the non- domestic kits.

Picked up my K-9 yesterday evening

Nice packaging and content. I already saw a few minor things looking at the sprues but nothing dramatic. Must say I'm very very happy to have this one.

Anyway, Thanks again for the link Gino And for those who are still wondering about that eBay store, I already ordered two kits from him (Academy Merkava IV and K-9) and everything went very fine both time.
