Ludwig does several kits and Hooben may release the Cromwell at some point.

Re: Lack of RC models of British WWII tanks
Yes, it's pretty much a total lack for WW2, and often commented upon here. Bespoke scratch-builds are possible from kits, as mentioned previously, but a casual observer might think that Britain hadn't been involved in armoured warfare in WW2. That, of course, couldn't be further from the truth. (France/Belgium- 1940; The Sahara desert- 1940-43; Northwest Europe 1944-45). British tanks were also supplied to the Russians.Armour1944 wrote:Is there not a major Lack of TC models of British WWII tanks?

There's not even a ready-to-roll version of the Sherman Firefly which, although American in origin, did at least sport the British 17-Pounder and localised British modifications.
It's a sorry state of affairs.

There is also OKMO/DKLMRC Churchill but it's expensive.

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten that one; probably because of price, rarity and availability.Kaczor wrote:There is also OKMO/DKLMRC Churchill but it's expensive.

Re: Lack of RC models of British WWII tanks
Sadly Clark let us down big time as we all know. He's up to something but not sure when or with who. Was supposedly working last with Motion RC but no word for months.
Regarding Hooben, I'll pass on their release. Good to hear Ludwig has some in the pipeline.
