Doesn't Ludwigs already do a Cromwell and Comet and DKLM do a Churchill and M60 ?
I can't think of anyone making a Matilda II or a Marder 1, 2 or 3.

I too think an M60 would be an excellent choice. It was operated by a number of countries over a fair time period maybe even still. :thumbup: :thumbup:

How about a Japanese Ground Self Defense Force Type 74. :clap:

I can open hope its one of the larger companies like a henglong, torro or Tamiya to give the avg working man a chance to buy it at a reasonable price and a platform to work on and make our own. I know everyone's situation is different yet for me the high sticker price for the custom one off designs is a bit of a deterrent. But also understand its all part of the process and RD and manufacturing time and costs are greater with smaller operations.

And do you think new "gound up" small series model would be much cheaper? Maybe made of plastic...
