I've had my eye on the T23 medium tank for a while but I'd like to know something about the quality before I drop $150-ish USD on it. My previous experience with resin has pretty much put me off of it except for small conversion bits.

The M103 has my attention. I would like to fondle the kit parts before committing to an actual purchase but that won't happen unless the company has a vendor table at a local show. Definitely some nice subjects listed but like you say, the prices are a bit harsh.
-
I too like the T23 kit. I know someone who had built the M103 some years back.I will ask him how the quality was.

The price on the product page is listed as "TBA." There is a rather wordy kit review sans images at CyberModeler that is claiming the price for this kit will be $159.95.

M-103 and MBT-70, nice but pricey. :(
-
Outstanding!!! Finally a 1/35 MBT-70!!! Definitely on the order list as soon as it is available!
-

I reflect that statement... ;)

would it help if I said that I also purchased a 1/35 Commander Models M561 Gama Goat at the same time?

No.

Some images at Track-Link forums of the recently announced Commander Models 1:35th scale M1 90mm AA Gun (kit number 1-062) (http://www.track-link.com/forums/news_industry/25983) and Iron Shipwrights page (http://ironshipwrights.com/armor/90mm.html).
Finally something to tow behind the one version of the HobbyBoss M4 HST :)

Something new coming from Commander: 1/35 Australian Cruiser Tank AC1 Sentinel (http://ironshipwrights.com/armor/Sent.html)
-
I believe it will be around AU$130.00 ..... same price as the old & very accurate Cromwell kit ... but maybe more reliably available.
Have asked if the 17pdr version will be done too -- would be cool to do an "in service" version with the late tracks (similar to Canadian Dry-pin type).
-
Mmm... very tempting but the problem is I would have so many conflicting ideas of what to do with it that I would probably never start it.

Let Greg buy it, that should guarantee a lower cost, injected kit within a couple of years. ;D :icon_zombie:

For armour kits that's my job :(
Just look at all the IDF tanks & conversions I've bought in resin over the last 20yrs .... & now they're all available in plastic ! :icon_twisted:

Normally that would work - it certainly did for their MBT70 - this time though I already have the Cromwell kit...

I've built/still have some kits from the 1990s. By the photos, looks like they've upped their game over the last 25 years or so.

A mid-1990s offering, when they did more foreign kits.
