Re: Future tank kits
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 surely did but I he is asking about "Future tank kits".Son of a gun-ner wrote:Barry, I thought you wanted a BradleyBarryC wrote:Centurion, I've heard there is a RTR in the works.
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.
How about a Japanese Ground Self Defense Force Type 74.

Re: Future tank kits
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.BarryC wrote:Who has the M60 you've heard about?Xiaoshan_Sailor wrote:Heard M60 already in the pipeline so may want to skip.

Have you seen the price of it. ?Kaczor wrote:Asiatam Famo is still available I think?Model Builder 4 wrote:Ooooh a Famo, yes please
It makes the price of a Tamiya 1/16 Tank kit look cheap
I think I am about to upset someone

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