Yes Erik has posted the details on rcu a while ago. Think it's a late q3/ early q4 release.

Seems like a swing in momentum gents ?
Firefly's and new taigen offerings.
One the back of the popular Challenger 2's
Still a way to go before the balance is restored, but bodes well so far

I am holding off buying another tank until I see what is on the table, I would kick myself if I bought something and a week later something I would rather have had comes along. Would love a plastic M36B1, I can only dream.... :eh:

I was at the Imex model booth at the Toledo R/C show and did not see the prototype. However, on a shelf were some super detailed 1/25(?) Scale tanks.

I wish I had known you were gonna be there. I just got home from there and those are 1/24 scale tanks and yes, the one on the far right was a Firefly. They did not bring the 76mm or the new Panther F to the Toledo show. I spoke for some time to both Erik and Bill and I got the distinct impression that Imex/Taigen will be doing a Firefly in 1/16 scale, but I'm not sure on the time frame. I'd say maybe by the end of the year, but more likely next spring or summer. Rome wasn't built in a day, right? The 76mm Sherman and the Panther F should both be on shelves by Christmas, if not long before.

Hello neighbor! It was neat to see all those Taigen tanks. I was tempted on getting another, but am currently out of shelf space in the man cave. Temptation was great! I would really like to have seen a metal version of the M1.

SE, they will be doing a metal version of the M1, with torsion-bar suspension, but probably not until next year. That's what I'm waiting for myself. They're also going to make metal lowers for the Leo and Chally.

I wasn't just tempted, I did bring home a new metal PzIII. @)

I see you just joined this forum recently, but it sounds like you're no newbie to RC tanks. Have you discovered my youtube channel and seen the tank park I'm building right here on 6 Mile? What the hell, I love showing it off, let me get ya a video. OK, this is a rarely seen video taken after the last set up of last summer. I'll be reconstructing the tank park starting in May or June. I want to have it set up every weekend in July and august, and I'm hoping for great weather, but being the D, ya never know.
