Wouldn't be suprised.

As much as I like the what if german armour I would not mind some of the Allied super heavy tanks as well.

Here's hoping they do a run on the E-Series Paper Panzers.  Dragon was quite brave with their Maus, E-100 etc.  I also echo the call for Allied Whif Armour.  Has gotta be a better deal than the exhorbitant prices that the resin guys are charging for their stuff!

There is a press release from Stevens Intl. and this isn't the tank that they show at all....they show something that looks like a Pz.III.

I am sure it is just an error somewhere along the line....but I have seen this picture a couple of times posted, and the official release is of another tank.

Weird.  
Thanks

There was a built model of this subject in Military Modelling a year or so ago.

As for Allied experimentals, you can get some of the British stuff in 1/76.  I have the Black Prince and Tortoise from Millicast and Cromwell respectively.  Someone does the Tortoise in 1/35 as a resin kit (Accurate Armour?) but its hideously expensive.

To be honest, I think the major manufacturers need to fill the gaping gaps in mainstream "in-service" allied subjects before they start tackling whiffs.  How long has it taken us to get an IM Staghound....?

Same old problem Nev, the Armour manufacturer's prefer to do German Armour in its every variety and redo their back catalogue than do the Allied stuff that actually won the war.

However things are starting to improve, Bronco have done rather well with their Comet tank and are following it up with both the Staghound and Humber armoured carswhich are also being done by Italeri and a Czech producer respectively !!!. Tamiya has done the Crusader in 1/48, which is new as not in their 1/35 line up (except as Italeri re-box).

Maybe next year we'll get a British Black Prince or Centurion A41 as counterpoint to these German projects  :wub:

QuoteOne of the other chinese companies did a snapfix wargamers version that was rather neat a few years back.
Think it was Pegasus Lee, two in a box. I've got their Schwere Panzer's in the paintshop as we speak

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Yes, it was Pegasus indeed.
