I've heard that the Asiatam Famo also needs quite a bit of after work to get it running reliably. If you are going to fork out that kind of money I think it should be ready to roll without needing to do anything to it, any new or previously unseen offerings in 1/16 would be welcomed to be honest :thumbup:

Anyway I would prefer second choice of Famo rather than tenth version of Tiger.

It is not quiet right... ;D
You have a lot to do!
I built two Asiatam Famo.
The chassis alone is a major challenge ...
There is nothing in line, the tracks run off after a short distance.
Every body who get a Asiatam Famo, which is running out of the package is a very lucky man!
He should then fill out and hand in a lottery ticket. :haha:

Thank you for the review jhamm :D I had heard about its problems but wasn't quite sure what the extent of the work needing doing to it :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

I have a crusader and a cromwell so I vote Matilda or centurion, and just because I’m an arse I would like to see it when we start up again at Nuneaton

Centurion. By common consent, one of the best tanks ever made. :thumbup:
Otherwise, Christian (Ludwig) does offer excellent versions of the Cromwell, Comet, (I've built 'em both) and Churchill- it wouldn't hurt
to have a viable alternative perhaps not in the flat-pack (sheet) format.
The Churchill had numerous variants, and would give greater scope for the compulsive 'modder' to come up with a non-mainstream model. (Crocodile, for example) :think :)
