RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

i am relatively used to the r/c tank group
can anyone tell me why it is so hard to fine 1/16 Sherman tanks , and if there are any plans for any to come into the market ,,,,
i have several tanks ,,,,,,,,,,,,,but the market seems pretty one sided ,,,,,,,,as in all axis

I'm pretty new to this game

What in an axis tank?

the second world war ,,,,,,,,,was fought basically be two sides the allies ,,,,,,,,,British and American etc
and the axis powers Germany Japan

OK..with you now.

There are two Sherman's avaliable in 1/16. The Mato one, which is HL quality, and is based on an earlier VVSS suspension 76mm gun version. Then you have the Tamiya one, which is based on a very late war HVSS suspension 105mm Howitzer version.

The Tamiya one is a very obscure version that only 890 were ever made and fought from the Bulge onwards. With a bit of work, and the suspension from the Mato one, you can make a very good Sherman.

Check out the Tamiya build section, there's several Sherman builds ongoing, including mine.

Cheers,
