Neither Torro nor Mato have it listed on their sites, so I'm a little curious where they are getting these tanks from.
You would be bidding on something that they expect to have in stock at some point in the future - I'm not touching this one with 50ft pole...

No Changes on the Cast hull variant. Still looks marginal to me. The welded hull version looks a lot more promising.

I think thats the same pic as Mato posted in their announcement. And the welded hull is a Tamiya - the blurb over the pic says something along the lines of "not the actual tank"

That's a shame about the welded hull picture. I thought it showed a lot of promise.
I take it the pic's of the cast hull variant are still prototype pic's.

I believe so, the 3 posted in the Mato announcement are the only ones I've seen - everyone else has just reposted them.

Hi Guys let hope there the same size as the Tamiya then it wont be a problem to swop the tops it may be a posiblity if they are both scale .We will have to wait and see ,its the fact that they are on sale in Germany or are they might be a con getting orders for them when they havnt got them yet.

I think the ebay add states they are preselling them. So they don't have them yet.

Mato said they would have them by mid February. Since it is their release, I believe they will have them first!!!!!!

Dont touch this guys they are not due in till end Feb / March
They are launching it at the Nuremburg toy fair next weekend. Here you will see the final article. I shall have them in March so my advise is wait.
The model is Mato not Heng Long. Theres is due sometime this year however i have a strange feeling this Sherman is the rumoured Heng Long people have been talking about.

Good GOD just noticed the price thats Â£150 beleive me they wont be that much guys.
Please Wait dont get ripped off im not saying wait and buy from me although that would be nice but please dont get ripped off.
There will be plenty of sellers later with these in stock, if you buy from myself, Dominque at rctank or welshdragon and forgebear you wont go wrong.
