there is nothing in 1/16 in rc apart form the tam stuf that you have already seen .. nothing new at all

What a disapointment after all the speculation on new 1/16 scale releases !

Thank you for posting these pictures,I have built the German Fleet in 1/350 scale.The new academy Graf Spee in 1/350 with photo etch parts is one of the pictures you have posted,with a few modifications I can create the clipper bow retro fitted to DEUTSCHLAND AND SCHEER. Now just waiting on the new Revell 1/200 USS Arizona due out this year.Thanks very much for posting these images. Cheers Blake

On another note,I am disappointed as is every one else that the 1/16 scale did not gain even one new kit,Just can't understand why.But it similar to the naval models,you can build the entire Japanese navy in 1/350 scale,I mean every ship but not the German,British,or American fleets.Maybe the Japanese are upset that their tanks suck.At least the WWII stuff.Who knows,some where their is an industrial engineer,marketing specialist,and production engineer deciding what to manufacture.How do you get these people to pay attention,two words-Heng Long.When they have more of the market share than the kit kings maybe then,we can only hope.So many auxiliary vehicles in 1/35 that would be great additions to the 1/16 scale kit inventory. Maybe their are more to be released.

Wow! That brings back a few memories from my long lost youth. I see a few photographs of an "ontos" 6 barrelled recoiless rifle, used in vietnam I think. Has looks only its crew could love but made up into a great model. I had one of those kits when gods dog was a pup, can't remember who made it though.........Ahhh memories, I can just see my dads new Ford anglia sitting on the drive!

Maybe Hooban had a "flight delay" hehehe and on their way as we speak.

Hi More Photos and a write up which is translated from german via bablefish ,it dose say Heng Long will be releasing Panthers in kit form ,Thought is would save us time stripping them down ,just build to your own standard.here is the link
