Page 8 has me throwing money at the screen. Interior though, no need for that.

Comment on Trumpeter Abrams Pics....

M1A1 Cupola, M1A2 Commanders Sight.... CTV
Marine Markings (which is the version I want...) Army Smoke Launchers, upside down BTW...

Is this a kit or RTR? Details added or factory assembled? Either way I will buy one to complement my Heng Long M1A2... Need to make some room....

Martellus

T72 looks nice. That 268 though.... I need one of those too

I think most of these new builds are being inspired by World of Tanks. I don't think most people would've ever heard of some of these tanks except for the fact they are played in WOT since they were usually only prototypes and now really only exist in museums or not at all. That T-14 Armata tank seems to be in 1/35 scale. It's really blurry though on the card in the pic, but it looks like 1/35.

Martellus

Yeah not like the KV-5 is a real thing

the others are at least in the museums. I just love the look of the 268

The trumpeter VII is neat but the only reason I would pick up one of those would be to RC it, and I assume it won't be any cheaper than revell's with that interior...

So this is all confirmed? We will finally be getting a T-72? That is fantastic, the only thing we will need to do is rig the turret to pop off everytime it takes a hit from an Abrams, Leopard or challenger. That would be funny **** right there.

Green Amphibian

Did that in real time in the first gulf.

Confirmed my friend. 1/16th T-72 from both Waltersons and Trumpeter (WSN).

Panther F

I never thought I'd actually see the T-72 from Trumpeter as a kit (like look how long it took for the SU-100 kit) so I panicked and bought the HL Type 99.

Now I'm wondering why they didn't release the SU-100 as an RTR since the chassis is already out there in several forms?


Oh well... nothing wrong with having BOTH Type 99 and T-72.

Would T-72 from Waltersons be with any electronics and sound module?

Imex-Erik

Oh yes, all new everything

wsn123

Thank You for reply - when Waltersons T-72 would be released ?

Imex-Erik

Probably in the second half of this year. I'll get more info soon, but I do believe he has a few more things to work out (small anyways).

Any ideas on pricing for that thing? Won't hold you to it of course.

herrmill

Agreed. I wonder how much the new Maximus Modelbau kit will run?

Ok Thank You for information

tomhugill

His 1:72 type vii conversion is ludicrously expensive, considering its just a pumped system.

Panther G

Erik, are they going to be available through your site. I'm not real familiar with Waltersons and not really sure who and where they are carried.
I would feal much more comfortable purchasing it through your site. Also, the Trumpeter is a completely different model?
supplied by who?

MODELMAN2

Panther G Yes all Waltersonsons Items will be available through IMEX in North America . One stop shopping for TANKS ..Regarding Trumpeter, They do not have repair parts since it is made for the Toy market. And without parts to fix problems its causes too many problems BOSSMAN

Imex-Erik

Yes to clarify, they are two different models.

Panther G

Thank you Bossman and Erik. cant wait for the release.

Imex-Erik

Nah, none yet. As soon as I do though....
As always thank you guys for being such a big part of the community!
