Lack of RC models of British WWII tanks

Post by Armour1944 »

Is there not a major Lack of TC models of British WWII tanks?

Axis tanks seem to be far more popular, except for Sherman and T34

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

Yes, it's pretty much a total lack for WW2, and often commented upon here. :thumbdown: 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.
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.

:/ :D Ah, yes, I'd forgotten that one; probably because of price, rarity and availability. :wave:

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.
