My guess is the F.O. electronics won't get any substantial improvement, though.

I had been watching for a while at the JS-2 model from Modellbau Schmiede, but I think I will wait for the Tamiya model, now.

Status: online 		OK, now we are talking.

This tank should be received well and the sale figures indicative of this market. If this tank does not sell well and provide a pleasant surprise for Tamiya then we have no one else to blame but ourselves. This is a tank that has been on the top or part of everyone's wish list for quite some time. My hope is that Tamiya actually gets surprised by the sales numbers, and start to focus on us a bit more.

The manufactures for the most part have been giving us duplicates, or rereleases that no one has really asked for. This however is different. I want one of these.

Status: offline 		 It is a re-hash, I'm sure it'll be a IS-2 upper hull and turret on the KV-1/2 lower hull.  That means wrong road wheels, sprocket, and track amoung lower hull dimension inaccuracies.  Guessing Frank should expect lots of orders on his IS-2 wheels.  Still glad to see Tamiya coming out with new products, but I'm with F, like to see something british or maybe a Samoua.

Tamiya wouldn't do that would they?

Status: offline 		 Well if mato cover the t-32 in metal and Tamiya have the js-2 then that's a pretty good Russian line up! Just need conversion kits for the tank destroyers. But mainly your missing the point that this is a new Tamiya! They haven't completely given up on us and this is a model I've wanted for a while!

Status: offline 		As usual the tank has not even been seen yet and we have people complaining so what if Tamiya uses the same hull just so long as it’s to scale and all parts are correct what is the problem did the Russians themselves do the same? (I actually have no idea if the dimensions are the same)

I’m sure that either a T34 or a British tank will be in the pipeline after Tamiya realises the IS 152.

Mordock, simple reason why up till now Tamiya have not built an Abram’s, sales would be low and Tamiya would have to pay royalties, the Bunbeswher commissioned the Leopard 2A6, so if you want to see an Abram’s get the US army to dig deep I’m sure they would be overjoyed to send money to Japan, but if you really wanted one there is a conversion kit in Germany and the 1/16 basic model that has been around for years .

I just can’t wait to see all the threads with the following titles “Where can I get an IS2” or “Why can’t I buy an IS2 now” I suspect this will not be available until early/mid 2013

Also, I disagree, I think a M-1 Abrams WOULD sell well here in the USA and well as its opponent, the T-72.

Heh. Seems like You WWII guys have Tamiya's ear. I think its time some of us "Modern Warfare" Folks got got the act and begin a persistent writing campaign to Tamiya.

Status: offline 		Not the IS-152, but the ISU-152 is likely to come after the JS-2, sharing the same lower hull and half of the top one. Frank from modellbau schmiede was also working on it.

I also think YHR is exactly right, we vote with our wallets.
