Re: Future tank kits
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

Re: Future tank kits
Anyway I would prefer second choice of Famo rather than tenth version of Tiger.

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.

Re: Future tank kits
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
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Re: Future tank kits
Centurion. By common consent, one of the best tanks ever made.
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
