I TrueType hope they release them again as so many of the newbies in my club want some Tamiya tanks.
As far as Sherman’s go, I don’t think taigen will release hvss. That would likely kill the sales of their other two Sherman’s which they can barely keep in stock so why self compete. And Hoobens Sherman, epic fail which I think they learned the hard way.
I’m regretting those few Tamiya EZ8s I built and sold now.....
If that were true, I hope it were just the Sherman tooling, as that represents an accident rather than a company direction to step away from 1/16th scale tanks. I doubt Tamiya would entertain the idea of selling the molds to a third party.
