KIASER, You have my sworn promise I only did it for the money, never understood the people who pay to jump, especially static line, bit of a buzz out of the back of a C130 at hight though, If you want to experience something completely different try a night jump over Borneo, pitch black just a flouro compass and a mouthful of PRAYER!!! totally different from sitting there with 60Kg swinging between your legs!

I am guessing that the crew in the ARV were shouting 'For crying out loud, but the damned thing in neutral!'.
That HL T90 or whatever it is, it is still going to be on my wish list, pull off the poorly moulded stuff and give it a makeover. They look great when they are battle weary.

I'm sure that there will be allot of after market parts for that T72/90. Given they're always covered with ERA there will be plenty of scope for covering the different versions. Maybe someone will bring out a T80/84 conversion kit for it as well.

Same here, especially since I just plonked serious cash on an HL M1A2 and some stuff for my Leo2A6. By December, it's now a question of: "Where should i spend my Christmas money on? A new suspension fork for the mountain bike? A new laptop? Or a Challenger 2?"
Tough choices to make....

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

And a "plain vanilla" one at that! AWESOME!
I hope it comes with Scots DG 11B markings. I'm not much of a fan of desert colour, so if I had one, I'll paint it in Green and Black like wot I did to my kitbashed Tamiya-Trumpeter CR2 many many years (and a lifetime) ago:

I wonder if sticking to the stock motors (with steel gearbox) would be ok with the CR2 because from what I've known so far, it's not as fast as the M1 or Leo2, so I guess the slower speed is ok...?

Hi All,
The money is burning a large hole in my pocket now. I know one or the other will be with us soon

I'd like to see them both at the same time

. But I don't think that will happen. Still I can dream.

Talked to my local HL supplier last night and he is not hearing anything. I know OzArmour has posted it as coming soon, but then it is next to the SU-152 kit from Taigen that is suppose to be coming soon since 2014......... Will check with Dominique @ rctank.de.............

Do you mean the El mod su-152? Not seen Taigen mention one.
