C'mon, we are modellers. It's not a difficult modification. People make such combinations all the time (i.e using Trumpeter upper hulls or turrets on existing chassis).

I am more worry about the scale. Heng Long Stug always look slightly "big" to me, just like the Pz III (same bottom) and the Walker.

Because German armor rules. It’s the coolest of them all and sales prove it. Just one colonist’s opinion.

Those "frightful Colonials" .......................!!

Im an "awful Antipodean" which is a small step up from " Convict Stock" settler !!

The rumoured British tank has to be one that is easy to tool up for, but will carry a broad relevance.
They have a Leo, and and Abrams, but no Challenger...................my tip is a Chally III which has just hit the public eye recently.
Its a relatively simple tooling spread, relevant, and it will fit with the range already on the market.
A chieftain would be a much more expensive version to tool up for, and the centurion would be similar.
Has to be the Chally I reckon.................

I still wish a WW1 Mark 1 Male would be made available in 1/16. I would throw an Elmod and GI smoker in it and have tons of fun! Sigh.

At least I would expect a tank that old to actually smoke...
