Been sometime since I posted on FMP but wanted to share some news on what's pending this year.
Their 1/16 KT is still on hold pending their 1/6 projects. Have no idea when it may resume but was told it will occur someday...
In the meantime, they'll release their 1/6 Pz II Luchs mid-year & expect to have a working prototype within 2 months. Attached are a few photos of the track which they've finished upfront along with steel CNC hull parts that were made last week. Track links are stainless from lost wax process. They're doing a run of only 10 with several already spoken for.
Their new 1/6 Tiger & Pz III are currently available & a StuG III Ausf G will follow once the Luchs is finished as as individual commissions. The StuG is to be offered as a late version with the Saukopf mantlet to differentiate from Armortek's release.
Once they finish their German run this year, they're interested in doing several smaller projects that will be more affordable & offer quicker turnaround. I've been lobbying hard for some British or Russian light or medium subjects, ie, Valentine or BT-7 as well an FT-17 since I'll not pay what Warslug wants & it appears they're already kaput.
FMP's website is no longer up since they post mainly on Facebook & Instagram. You can see more photos there in their various albums.
