I am inclined to believe that the likes of HENG LONG et al have no idea what they are missing in not producing British armour.
I remember the surprise expressed by CHRIS when he presented his Centurian plans and early build with the intention of making them for a limited production run.
He received so much positive reaction that as he said no previous build had produced.
Obviously there must be a large financial commitment by HENG LONG/TAIGEN/TORRO before mass producing a new model which tends to prevent going down a new path when merely breathing fresh life into a proven product will keep the cash coming in.
The world has too many Tiger and Sherman variants and far to many accountants and not enough entrepeneurs .
when you consider how many different nations bought the Centurian in its many guises, the market for upgrades let alone Tanks would generate a hefty income for any manufacturer with just this British type.
