A Cromwell would be amazing! :D I'd drop every other project for that. A Churchill or Comet would be nice as well. I don't really like post-war armour so i'm hoping their both WWII tanks.
Cheers,

Hi Keith yep the churchill was ugly Bit like winston some say he looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp but they were british,plus it would make an interesting model for conversions alot of hobarts where churchill based.

Tamiya's sherman is getting a bit long in the tooth now. It would be really easy for them to redo that.
I think the chally is being a little optomistic, they will probably play safe and do the abrams.
I hope i'm wrong though.
