I already have an early all metal tiger 1 and plan on buying the all metal tiger 2 , the all metal t-34/85, and if an all metal panther is released one of those. I would also definitely buy an all metal T-55. And of course if you guys ever did do an all metal Maus or e-100 I would definitely spend up to 800 bucks if not more on one of those.
Well we still have more stuff planned for this year, just stay tuned!

I'll mention this to bossman.
Also, is this T34/85 an HC series tank? Love the easy access.
Yes this will be an HC tank. I'll make sure the latch system gets documented as well. The HC series is a big deal to me, I am always tweaking things here and there.

Oh really? I haven't heard such a thing lol. Remember, if the bossman or myself don't announce it, don't trust them. Rumors are rumors. I'm not saying it will or won't happen, I just dont want to have a repeat of a few other manufacturers I can think of...

Thanks again!

It will be like our normal metal upgraded hulls, plastic on outside and metal on inside and lower.

Inside pics would be awesome when they are possible
%100 agree with you. Man now waiting for my demo is even worst lol.
