Default IMEX/Taigen announces their October surprise!!

Hello tankers,
Today IMEX/Taigen announces our October surprise It was quite the secret, and very hard to hold. Here is a sneak peak.... Let's see if anyone can guess correctly

Just to clarify this announcement, the item in question will be released in October and ready to enjoy. We wanted this one to be a surprise release. Guess away my friends, more pictures soon.

Couldn't be a Jagdpanther II now, could it?

Or is the cloth strategically arranged to deceive?

It isn't "strategically" placed, but it is a bit loose. That would make it too easy.

We already have the Sturmtiger in both a metal and plastic version. Both are available in airsoft or infrared as well.

Keep guessing my friends
It was funny because the last time it was guessed on the first page lol. This time you guys aren't even close. You have all missed the big hint. Look closer.

I'd say Ferdinand/Elephant or Maus or its a tank with its turret turned backwards to throw us off. Possibly an IS2 in that case.

Maybe, it's an E100 but can't see the sides.

I'm guessing the hint is the word 'October'.

So it's either a tie in to the release of Fury, which would be pretty smart, or something Russian, as in Red October.

But based on the height, I'd guess something in OD.

That Shape Could hide an M60A2...

How about a German Flagged Matilda?

This I can say a bit more on. Yes in two senses it was hard to hold on to. First, it is heavy. Second, who wouldn't want to steal this baby??

No turrets are turned if indeed there is one.

Yes, a bit heavier than the T34, but not as heavy as the Tiger 1.
