Anything that was coming for 2017 would have been announced long ago.

There have been merkava sightings for years. Don't think it ever made it to production and I never had any luck on contacting them.

Here is a photo of what Trumpeter will be releasing in plastic 1/16. A T-72B, M1A2 SEP, and a Panther G Late. these could be used to create detailed M1's and a T-72 runner?

Where's that like button at? A TUSK M1A2 would be better.




Who was it that was promising an RC T-72 not too long ago?

List of parts and what they are made of is impressive if Watersons produces it. Looks to be about $400 us and the enthusiast version is T.B.A? Will be great if they do it.
