Can't recall if he specified WWII or not. I hoping for a Cromwell. The US tank? Well, he said no Shermans, but if its not WWII, then who knows? An M24 or an M48??? M113? Could be an early M3 Stuart, which could have lots of schemes. Could be an M3 Lee/Grant. We shall see tomorrow Uncarina and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It would be crazy not to do a VVSS Sherman. No one has done one yet, save the cheap RC one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 1/16th M-10 and an Achilles 2 - sweet mother I don't think anyone saw that coming - the Achilles in particular looks superb - ok as a Brit I'm a touch biased BloorwestSiR, RNoAF, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 For me, very disappointing. No interest in either one. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Looks fabulous but again I am thankful it is not a must have to drag me into 1/16 tank models (an early M3 Stuart or Grant however might do it) Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I've got to say the Achilles is a must have for me , the M-10 tank destroyers have always been a source of fascination for me , and then add in the superlative 17lber - and we're off to the races!

eoyguy Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) I hope for the sake of Andy and the continued release of 1/16 armor that these are bigger sellers than I can see them being. A misstep in this scale with the kind of investment he must have to make to get these made doesn't leave a lot of room for less than stellar sales. That's why its a bit surprising to me he went with these, when there are so many other subjects that he could have went with that would be pretty much assured successes, many of which have already been mentioned and wished for in previous posts. Maybe the Achilles, with VVSS suspension and 17lb gun, gives hope of a Firefly on down the line, and perhaps the M10 the same for VVSS Shermans. I look on the bright side, this leaves me money to buy either or both of the SdKfz 251's coming out from Das Werk and Trumpeter Edited August 3, 2023 by eoyguy LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) I am going to get one of those - had my hopes up that is was actually going to be two different AFV´s and not "just" a US and British version of the same. Maybe I misunderstood something in the teasers.. If it is priced the same as his previous kits I think it is great value for money. The Tiger and Sherman are very nicely detailed kits. When will I find the time.... /Niels Edited August 3, 2023 by Zola25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
