If you look closely at the bottom of the photo one can just make out the three attachment points for either road wheel stations or return rollers? They look low enough to be road wheel station attachment points to me. So it has to be something from the Allied motor pool of tanks. Maybe a Wolverine or Achilles?
Yes, I am going exotic!!!

This is a bad sign. You might want to rethink your approach here, Bro. These guys are CUSTOMERS, and thinking of them as the enemy and ways to be mean to them is BAD for business. Very disrespectful, and respect is the one thing we seem to be losing across the retail world. Customers support the business, not the other way around.

The game will end today, do not fret my friend. Remember, we use this for a lot more than just a reveal. I use this as a test to see what customers really want and the discussions about them as well. There may seem like a lot of interest for a tank but when you add together different sites and age groups the tank is not as big of a deal as one might think. We must be careful and plan at every stage possible so we do not produce or waste time on a model that would not sell right. Then it would take longer to make new stuff.

That was a joke, I would never do that to you guys. I hope you would know that by now. Heck the boss wanted to wait until October and just surprise you guys, I'm the one that wanted the early reveal, be glad for that. I don't know about you guys but I need time to soften up my woman before a large purchase.... I have to keep the lawn mowed and clean the house for a few weeks before I get an anger-free purchase. I'm still trying to convince her I need a second smartwatch lol.

Gosh I can't belive this is still going on! I decided after supper time yesterday that I would not check on the release until after lunch the next day so I can just find out and be done with it and here it is still going on. Whats worse is if turns out to be a release I have zero interest in like something modern I will be pissed to have even wasted as much time as I have checking in to find out what it is.

You are in danger of going the Hooben route, if you want constructive research just ask, people will tell you what they want of cause some will mention various Sherman’s they either can’t be bothered to build or don’t have the ability to build, the direction you are taking mealy has people mentioning any tank they can think of that is heavier than a T34 and lighter than a Tiger this covers most tanks of WWII so is hardly a clue.

My personal choice would be an Sd.Kfz.234/1 or 234/2 or offer the kit with both turrets

Wish someone would upscale the 1/18 M48A3 to go against the T55.

Do not worry, it isn't modern.

Blame Youtube for the long wait. I have been trying to upload since yesterday to YouTube. I think I got a corrupt file when I edited it so I remade it again today. You can see on my watch if you look close it was taken about an hour ago. Hopefully this one finishes correctly. Even if it doesn't I will post the tank ok? This should be all the last clue you need to figure it out. It has already been guessed, I just keep quiet Give me 2-3 hours at most and it will be posted. I already have a ton of images just waiting to pair with the video. I wanted them both to be available at the same time, nothing beats a working video.

Cool

Hey thanks Eric! I've enjoyed this guessing game and I think you did nothing wrong. It's a damn tank forum, has nothing to do with his website or professionalism, you guys need to just chill out for awhile.

And if it continues to bother some, QUIT CLICKING ON IT! I support Eric and he obviously thought he was dealing with some mature individuals but it seems like some are acting out and WAY below their actual age. Next time, no guessing or hints just announce it much later than what was planned.

Like I said, I support what Eric is doing here and I don't even own a tank from Taigen or a customer of IMEX either! Just go do something constructive and wait 'til later to see what it is. Gesh guys... LOL

No will come all the hate PM's and replies. That's okay! LOL

Looks smaller than the Tiger. It has to be a Wespe or Maruder? Anyway I am at work sneeking on a computer to see this new Tank. I guess I will have to wait to get Home later. THANKS!
