Just spotted these on RCU (thanks YHR), don't know if they've been posted here yet (if so then delete this thread)

Apparently they're getting shipped next week

No idea on the price.

@971wright- I think the demand for this will mean it's unlikley they'll be doing spares straight away. But keep an eye on ebay as there's always people who break them down and sell the bits.

One of the last words on the Sherman was they were going to put an airsoft out and see how many sold before they did any more .

What would you do to these tanks...put HL gearboxes and rx18 etc in them????

don't use the Airsoft gun, because in a tank battle I don't want my tank damaging, infact they are not welcome in any tank battle I take part in

Not being a shermanoholic, I noticed that the Transmitter is a new moulding - interesting to see if its innards are new as well.
