Nice. Looks like a programmable radio in the picture too. If these are released IR/ Tamiya compatible ready with a hobby grade radio, there will be little to complain about except the price.
Yes they will cost as much as a Tamiya, but why wouldn't they. Pretty good Allied line up Mato has Produced.
The Stuart will fly off the shelves.
I just spotted the 3 piece tranny cover. That is another part that will sell well.
Also heard a rumor about the Tiger. Was going to be redone and the errors in the turret and placement were going to be corrected. I took a closer look at the turret and it does iindeed seem to be different, so it is noteworthy as well. Well Done Mato.

I know there's little interest but I wish one of the mainline manufacturers would take a financial leap of faith
and produce a model of a lesser modeled or truly obscure military vehicle from the Axis or Allied camp.
Even an armored car would be welcomed.
I have my favorites or course, several of the Italian vehicles come to mind, A US 6x6, Dragon Wagon and
of course the British Comet, Mathilda and Cromwell.
Not being ungrateful as the Grant /Lee and M5 will be very welcome.
If the all metal versions of the Pz /StuG III had come out earlier I would have purchased those
but as I have Asiatam hybrids already there's no need.

Not that I am ungrateful, but could a Grant variant of the M3 be considered? That's my vision for battles with a DAK PZ 3

Beautiful!
I'll take an M3 and M10...
For WW II in 1/16:
While Not technically Obscure, definantly Not mainstream, I'd buy a Bren Gun Carrier...
Cold War/Modern in 1/16:
I would Snap Up a Pair of M60A3's.
i would also take a T 64/72/80...
Just Sayin'

The M3 Grant looks to be welded hull - can't see any rivets. And no pistol /observation port on the fwd oblique?
Re the M5 Stuart, would it be very difficult to convert that to a M3 Stuart?
