MilitaryMight who is making this tank Matorro or Heng long??

[BREL]

I prefer the square shaped Sherman
were any fireflys converted from the cast hull variant

[Militarymight]

Its Mato but heng Long are making there own version this year.

[GREENGLADE]

Now theres a tank that offers many conversion possibilties!...nice...

[Militarymight]

Im currently in touch with the PR woman at Mato in China she says the price will be available in Mid February. I am currently looking into being a stockist for mato.

Yes there where a few cast hull Fireflys but with the tamiya hull added to this Sherman you could build anything including the Jumbo which would have the Tamiya top hull and the Mato turret with a small 76mm gun in place of the 75mm you now have all you need to build anything

Thats really interesting Andy, if you did become a stockist I think you would have  A LOT of custom in the Uk, I know my purchases would increase considerably as I'm put off by the Mato postage. If it wasn't so high I would be at least three tanks to the better and quite a little bit poorer.

Its Mato but heng Long are making there own version this year.

After all these years, we're going to be getting two Shermans. Not sure my bank account can take the strain.

I have also given Janey a list of products that would be nice to see in 1/16 RC
i have said
Halftracks
8 Tonne Famo
Allied armour
Kubelwagen
Jeep
Trucks

This company seems to pay more heed to what the customer wants than heng Long.

That Famo would be nice, slightly out of scale to the 88 your getting me but make one hell of a project,mmmmmm.
