Re: Hooben to release New tanks!
hooben are notorious for announcing tanks. lol.
The Elefants and T55 were issued in kit form originally, that is to say it wasn't a kit as the bits were in the box, you got a box without all the bits as they hadn't made them yet, and had to wait until they did before you could do anything with the bits that they had sent you???
I think they also announced a Maus just after the siege of Mafeking, but it was so long ago I can't remember.
The one prototype that I did see years ago was a 1/16 Merkava, I have no idea who the manufacturer was, but it looked the business...and never saw the light of day.

I think that the merkava was going to be done by kenny kong of the tracks fame ....in the end he thought it would too expensive for him to produce and there was a rumour that hl ? Were looking in to it .....

Good Morning,
I'm hoping for a Heng Long Elefant or Jagdtiger one day.
