I don't believe Heng Long is stifling future Tamiya model issues. HL must be viewed as entry-level at this time and aside from that, they will never actually challenge Tamiya because they are not
kits. Certainly they can be disassembled and reworked as a quasi-kit but there will always be a fascination with kit building and this is where T really really comes into its own.
I think the Tamiya tank line is pretty stagnant but they do release new tanks (just not very often).
I would like to see more modern tank releases to compliment the Leopard (i.e., adversaries or allies). I'd like to see an Abrams and an adversarial Russian tank, preferably T-54, T-55, T-62, T-72, T-80 or a variant thereof. Full function and DMD. A lot of modern battles can be re-enacted notably Gulf War or practically any Israeli-Arab conflict. I think latter 20th century battles are largely ignored.
Two (2) full-function M4 Sherman "bookends".

To save arguments can Tamiya owners only please post here.
What does the future hold for us 1/16th Tamiya enthuisiasts? Is Heng Long really stifling future Tamiya model issues? Are we going to be left with only new henglong models to choose from,like the Pan-Tiger, the Per-Dog and most probably a Tig-Zer and the like?
Your thoughts and comments, along with your Tamiya 'credentials' appreciated. Mine are in ,My signature.
