Given how this market works, I can certainly understand Clark's reluctance to post more details on his planned features. Guess HL will have to wait until they can get their hands on a production model.

Last I heard the BT-7 prototype will be available in August. Stay tuned, folks.

Looks good. It's a shame that Clark can't do a deal with HL. He makes the money off the initial high quality run with extra gadgets and licence fee: HL mass produce a lesser model a few year later.

Clark updated his BT-7 webpage with a few surprises that should appeal to the market. All three major variations are offered BT-7, BT-7A & BT-42 & it looks like you can run this baby without tracks.

Clark just updated their website page for the BT-7 listing all of the specs and price

The Premium one coming this year will be able to drive and steer without the need of tracks just like the real vehicle!

Cool, looks like good minds think alike by posting at the same time.

Am looking forward to this release!

Beat me by four minutes! Same here

Even better news today from Clark:

We offer BT-7. BT-7A and BT-42 quick-change turret for Premium release, customer can change turret in the field without opening upper hull in 10 seconds.

I really like his thinking!

Has anyone actually managed to order one of these mouth-watering specimens? If so, was it direct from Clark or through a regional rep.,? I think I'd prefer the direct route rather than go through Tankzone.

The German approved dealer for "CLARK" products is http://www.heng-long-panzer.de/
My antipathy toward "Tankzone" is no less than yours which is why I use the above dealer as my source for all things "CLARK",
I recommend them but do be aware that the documentation will be in German.

Yes, Shaun, I buy with confidence from Licmas tank. I'll send an email to check out cost, practicality and so on. Mind you, if we leave the EU in the meantime (fat chance with this Parliament)... the tank could end up in customs limbo...
As for the documentation, well, far, far back into the last century...I seem to recall that I got a grade 'A' in "A" level German...and it has always come in handy since then (though certificates are totally meaningless in these, the twilight years, and not even suitable for hygienic purposes)
Mainly, though, a good old friend in Hamburg (Harburg) keeps me up to date, and so does my Son in Zürich.
Na Ja.., Kein Bother
I did wonder, though, whether anyone had ordered successfully from Clark direct.
