Is there any information on how the Sheridan sale is going? Maybe it helps that he is liked in World of Tanks as a troll-tank;)

Hi All,
All the wishful thinking about what British tank it will be is just that!!!!. Let’s face it it’s going to be something we’ve already got from another manufacturer!!!!. I do honestly hope I’m wrong BUT this is what always happens it seems. Brian…

Challenger, easier, slab sided and relevant.
The Brit WW2 tanks would be a complex item to mass produce and tooling cost would be significant.

Sorry guys but I'm hoping for a USA M60 or M47 or better still a JGSDF Type 74!

Hi guys,
In his description of his video Andy says he will reveal a Top Secret kit!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gPUMTPkqHs&t=29s
He has build 1/16 tanks before so I'll keep an eye out on his channel.
With regards,
Rob from Holland
P.S. Also a nice review of the 1/16 Wiesel kit!

I'd not bet the farm on that happening. Was told recently by someone close in Guangdong that HL's primary focus is now German, Russian. German, Russian, German, Russian.... ad nauseam.

Well, it's their loss. I'd buy three... one "as is", on to turn into a Crocodile. Yassss... working flamethrower. That's gonna raise (whatever is left of) some eyebrows... and one as an AVRE with a bridgelayer mod...

CLUE: 'New British tank from Tamiya'. At least, that's how the thread started! I'd be inclined to follow the Chally 2 way of thinking. It's probably of greater world interest than a WW2 example.
