The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyN1Z...eature=related
Yeah, it's a Armortek Comet (beautiful, isn't it), but it's what we need to add to the Allied cause in 1/16. We need to flood Heng Long with requests for such a tank and advise them to tip the scale, lay off the German tanks for awhile and give us what we need.
Anyone else agree?

Comet can be done with christian's Cromwell kit and do quite a bit of scratch work. I do agree though that HL or Tammy need to get some other
countries in the mix.

I just think HL needs to jump on the Allied side for a while and kick out some tanks that are mostly OD.
That's all.

Sure, if you don't have the time or experience it may not be an option. Just saying it's out there.

And I agree very much so on a T34 ... whatever the version. Sadly needed.

It always suprises me that only wsn have done a t-34 given how prolific a tank it is. Does anyone know what happened to the project to begin small scale production of the churchill that was mooted on here last year?

I just want something British and it's has to be instant gratification too. I ain't scratch building anything right now!! Hell, it takes me almost 3 years to build a Tamiya (with some modifications) ... who knows how long it would take me to come up with a tank that's non-existent!

Nope, nope. Too many other irons in the fire. At the going rate, I have about 10 years of "things to do" and a Comet isn't one of them. Sooooo, I'd rather just pull it out of a box if that tells ya anything. []
Speaking of WSN. Too bad they didn't put out the 76MM along with the 85 too. I know, I know ... I could just plop the turret on it, but for others ...

I'll be turning a HL KV-1 into a KV-122. I have all the parts, just need to find the time to get it in line. Now that I have picked up racing again I'll have even less time. [:@] AND ... summer's just around the corner, so who'll have time for the workbench.

A KV 122 would be an excellent conversion. These where begining to be seen on the ETO more and more as theheavy IS3 was being devloped.
