It will be something modern I feel and not necessarily an mbt, could be a recon tank like the Sheridan

It would be nice to see something new and from the ordinary as most of the 1/16 manufacturers have pretty much exhausted all the mainstream models it beggars belief that tamiya have never continued a line of vehicles such as their kubelwagen considering the demand I think there would be for them

Cheers,Lee.

But they already made the Sheridan ?!?!?!?

And sorry, but no one I've every talked to was like...."man I wish Tamiya would make a Sheridan". NO ONE. I personally like the tank, but with how fragile the tracks are, I won't buy one until better tracks come out.

Yes I am aware of the Sheridan but notice I said something like that. Meaning the warrior or something along those lines.

Doesn’t really bother me what they release because I won’t buy it anyway

I would like the famous WW1 “male” with an Elmod board, custom sounds and metal tracks. But I’m crazy like that.

Let’s see if they half-ass it like they did with the type 10.

Anything British would be great. I'm sick of German armour

Churchill... so many variants... altho I'd prefer one from Heng Long... it's easier to afford three Chruchills to convert if you have to pay Heng Long prices...

Tamiya has been fairly balanced in releasing a variety of armour although people tend to buy German armour more.

Whether Heng Long releases a Churchill would depend on Tamiya releasing one in the first place, I suspect!
