I do have the Chally 2, and would have the Centurion simply because it was
the original MBT, and arguably one of the best tanks ever made in any era. It also retains some of that 'industrial' steam-age look that can be very appealing, as compared to the sleek lines of modern vehicles.
As for the Cromwell driver, HB,(- post massive jump, and unprintable expletives...) ...I would imagine that he would have exited the tank two inches shorter than when entered it.
I think Clark said they would look into WW1 Armour i could be wrong though but they have A LOT planned

...only to keep in mind...
the most of the tanks you have listed (Centurion MkIII, Crusader and Matilda MkII) are available at Ludwigs site...not RTR, but aren‘t we modellers

Clark is very much interested in the Mark IV - he's posted about that last month on his FB. On a personal note, I can relate to the FT-17 since its my favorite given its initial influence and breath of use worldwide during the first half of the past century. I have the Takom kit & needed components to build it RC one day. After seeing Warslug's 1/6 version up close & personal, I'd love one but am not about to drop $7000 for it. That's meant for Crazy Rich Asians who think nothing of dropping the bucks for baubles to show off.

I'm sure you know someone who may be able to make a 1:6 for a more resonable price.....

Hopefully he had some sort of "Bite Guard" else he probably needed dental work as well as a Spinal realignment!

Hmm..I like the look of the Finnish BT7. It's just a bit off the usual beaten track... so to speak. I have a couple of excellent Finnish made WW2 movies featuring BT 7s, and Brit spinoff Russian T-26s.
There's a sort of steam-age cuteness to them (as with the Renault FT-17), I mentioned earlier, that could help diversify the look of any collection they were added to

Man this is interesting reading, as an owner of a large number of Tanks (its an addiction)
http://taskforcekiwi.com/ we also need more support vehicles to get to a battle too.
I am currently building a M1070F
https://www.facebook.com/Taskforcekiwi/ ... =3&theater 3D printing has helped the hobby heaps but I would much prefer to buy a kit form or majority built kit. 1 to save costs and reduce packaging size but I have no need of a hand transmitter nor batteries or even a control or sound board in my situation. (I prefer to fit other options) I wonder if there are others who feel the same?
So please bring on more options to help with production volume other than just RTR if at all possible.
Cheers

Happy Sunday all! Clark posted these photos earlier today so it appears a Matilda may well be in the offering once Cromwell has been proven a success.

Clark is only planning RTR releases at this point except for possibly a few aftermarket option kits, such as turrets, etc..
