i am haveing some joy with the production company

there hopeing to ship it befour christmas this year  two versions //

smoke and sound and non smoke and sound .. the non s/s is £85 or very very close to that

also in the conversation is al last ...an m113a1 ....and m577 .. 1/16 so masses of conversion prospects ... so pleaed at the m113

i have asked about other armour ... like cromwell or any brit tank beginning with C .... centurion was the answer and to be more percise mk10/11

as for ww2 armour .. no surprise ... panther end of august  and sherman soon after .. with turret options .. that is .. other versions of the sherman

now to my surprise the road wheel mount arms to the sherman are metal anf the main mount to the hull are plastic   and there will be two different track sets buti have no info which tracksets .. but all double pin

i asked about the firefly ... yes is a very very strong possibility as thay had an enquire from a customer of there ( torro ? )  and there hammering out a price

the jagdtiger is well in to the pre production phaze ... one or two moulding problems as the upper hull is big and there are sink marks on the out side of the hull / like the jagdpanther hull front below the gunmantle ( any one else seen that too ? )

going back to the m113 ... there to be fitted with a ' new ' gearbox motor set up with the motors paralelle to the body as oppsoed to across .. and the batterie will be fitted thru the back door !

i did push my luck and aske about the poss of a challenger 2 .... all i gt back was there is still licenecing problems ...but thay hope to sort them out soon.. very soon ... and to my surprise ( not ) there is almost no interest in the m1a1 as still roumours of tamia doing one ?  and also a bradley ... first time i have seen that in a email from a producer .. bradley ..there said it again   but i replyed with a smole did you not mean Warrior >?? lol ..and a wink i got back ,, i guess dont hold your breath .....

oh yes .. again .. torro ... stug 4 ....

so some thing to chew on ///

Merkava AND the basis for a Centurian Sho't???  -I might just get booted out of my local R/C club for mopping the floor with them BWAAHAHAHAHAH!!! ::)

Cheer's for posting that Iain, this is a much needed lift after yesterdays verbal fisticuffs...!

I logged in to ask where the Shermans were..and read this. Fantastic news. I want a Priest and a Merkava, and a Firefly...and a Centurion Mk10 wouldn't go amiss either.

I don't suppose an upgraded sound system and Tamiya compatible battle systems are on the cards?

i asked almost the same question about tam compatability .... no chance .. as tam feel some what ripped off !

and the producer is trying to keep the cost down ....
