Now somehow I can't quite see the likes of Heng Long and Tamiya rushing that one into production, I suspect that this will be something to do with the rule of supply and demand...
It would actually be quite easy to scratch build one...go on, give it a go!

God that's an ugly tank.
Looks like the day I dropped my spares box on the floor

Ugly? I think it's beautiful! Kinda like one of those little pugs, it's so ugly it's cute.

Be nice, now. It might not be your cup of tea, but I still like it and I just may build one eventually. Right after one of these

Yeah Brian, it kind of makes me think of the evolutionary missing link between the Sherman and the Pershing.
I have more research to do, but for RC it looks like I could put Sherman VVSS and tracks on an M26 lower hull and have a good start. I need better photos of the engine deck and then maybe I'll ask one of the experts to identify that turret for me.

The turret look awfully like the Mato M4A1, if not the Jumbo turret maybe ? Would be an interesting build.

Hi We don't make any tanks (well not now ) they shut the plant where the challengers were built. Yet another short sighted government , scraped the Harrier scraped the challenger 2 scraped the nimrod. could go on with what we have invented and no long make. But other goverments still make what we invented.
