upsizing Heng Long tanks...
I was just looking at the Heng Long website and I see they had a number of 1/24 size tanks. I wonder if they will upsize any of the more modern tanks? That Type 90 I saw on there would be nice to have in 1/16 scale, as would the Leopard. They have a 1/30 Pershing on there. If the Pershing originally started out in 1/30 then I don't see why they wouldn't offer larger versions of the other models...

Simple reason: Tooling.
It's expensive to make the new tools/molds/etc.

Not likely. It's not just a matter of up sizing, as was mentioned tooling is extremely expensive. I really wish they would they have some nice tanks in the smaller scales.
