I expect I will see some sign of it next month at HEC. Was told of some other surprises, too, but we'll see.

If it's like Schwimmwagen, they'll appear at some fairs in the fall and won't be on sale until the beginning of next year.

I didn't attend HEC but photos of KY Models / Torro new release appeared online today.

The 251 looks nice with metal track & is to be available for sale shortly. Was told larger scales in 1/12 & 1/8 are planned later in the year but we'll see. I was told the same for the Schwimmwagon.

Along with the 251, KY is releasing more RTR warships in 1/35 & 1/200, half PLAN while these may appeal to some here.

Yea, but they will occasionally need a tuneup & lots of maintenance to stay in service.

Can be very costly to say the least. :crazy:
