That turret looks great. It looks like there are two different turret ring spacers in that kit, are these for adapting it for other kits?

One ring is for the turret and the other is to adapt the turret on the tank. But this is too big for Leopard 1 and Leopard 2.

Thanks for the news of those two.  Hopefully,Takom will do the SP and APC variants of the AMX 13 series.

I would love to see them release a Slovenian M-55S.  Tis had the original 100 mm tank gun replaced by the 105 mm one with a thermal sleeve. The armour protection of the tank was improved considerably by attaching Rafael ERA blocks to the hull and the turret. A digital ballistic computer was installed in order to improve the fire control system (FCS). Modernization of the V-12 diesel engine resulted in an increase in power from 520 hp to 600 hp.

They're some of the best-looking T-55 variants ever built, too.

I concur with the above desire for an M-55S.  The A.E.F. Designs conversion is rare and hens teeth.

Oh, so there IS a conversion set for the M-55S? Well, in that case I have an idea about how to get an injection-moulded version. Of course, it would require some action (and expenses, I'm afraid) on Greg's part. >:D  :P

Wondered how long that would take...

Trust me, if I could find a copy of this:



I would have it in the stash.

Unfortunately though, it is as rare as Hen's Teeth I am afraid.  Speaking of which:

Takom has announced two American heavy tank prototypes.  The kits are the T29E3, and a 2-in-1 kit for the T30/T34.  These two American heavy beast should be very sought after kits.  No release date yet, but stay tuned to Sprue News for updates as they become available.



Work in progress ::

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

The tanks in the backgrounds of those box arts are interesting.

My knowledge of Soviet tanks is pretty limited but the 2nd one looks like a JS-4 (?), however, although it looks Soviet, I've got no idea about the 1st.
