Another 1:0 scale model from Hooben after Tiger and Sherman. Personally I don't like wheels and tracks - seems too flat in comparison to real thing.

No, the idler's vertical, Wayne. The
wheels are leaning in, a bit like they do on race-tuned wheelchairs

They should probably try and master 1/16th scale before going to 1/10th

Mantlet seems off, too, plus it lacks casting detail, also Hooben is staying with solid wheels, ie, non-rubber tires which is a sin at this scale. Was told photo etched parts will be standard like on the Tiger which I hope means replacing those molded fenders. I'll get some photos when see one in a couple weeks but was told its available to ship mid-November. Understand the T-34/76 will follow mid-2020.
Speaking of 1/16, Hooben has some new releases scheduled early next year. Given the subject matter, I hope they do this one right with rubber tyres.

Hooben is starting to ship their new Hetzer. Believe it's currently only available in gray but saw these posted the other day on WeChat.
Looks like their Pz3 Ausf L is next out the block followed by the T-34.

Any idea if it's a T34/76 or /85?
