Click on the pic of the M4A1, it is a link that will take you there.

 

 I went and checked it out, and also did a search for Macross, and now I want to order all kinds of stuff...

 

I wish there were some actual pictures of the M4A1 sprues.

Since you like big scale and Macross, you could try to find on eof these:

I have one and it is by far the biggest single kit box I own. Model too. 

 

Back on topic, AFV Modeller has released some detail sets for the M10 and Achilles kits. They include a driver's section and radios.

So has Andy said if he plans do release the M4A1 at some point? I'd drop 150 on a kit from him, but I'm struggling to spend well over 200 for the I Love Kit.

He's made no mention of it, though ILK (as I prefer to reference them) is releasing an M4A1 76mm with VVSS at some point.

While I was checking out the HLJ site, I see that a company called "Freedom Models" has a BMW motorbike and a Kettenkrad in 1:16 as well. Another company I have never heard of, but I am sorely tempted by both, as the prices seem pretty reasonable to me.

I have asked him repeatedly about coming out with ANY VVSS Shermans but he is keeping tight-lipped. I do think it is a no-brainer since he now has the VVSS suspension modeled in the M-10 kits. Which version is the question.

I have the Freedom Models 1/16 Kettenkrad w/Goliath kit. Looks ok, but haven't done a deep dive into it yet. (Too many kits, too little time.)

SB has the Trumpeter “target vehicle” with the PAK 40 in stock.  To $$$ for me to buy for the gun.

Das Werk has already announced their own 251/22 coming out this summer ( I think) so it should be at a better price point, and better detailed.

MAN, that is cool.  I searched on Ebay, 1100-1200 bucks now! To rich for my blood, but I would have shelled out retail for it, if I had known at the time!

Yup I saw that and agree.  I can wait

The Hasegawa 1/48 kits are actually more detailed and build up quite nicely. If you drop down to their 1/72 line, there's a lot more variety.
