On TCM tomorrow morning (2-9-15) at 10:45 A.M. EST, the 1943 movie "Sahara" with Bogart is on. All the tank talk about the upcoming 1/16 M3 Lee, this movie should satisfy the waiting time until we get our hands on it!

I guess I'll have to come out of the cave more often. A Taigen M3 Lee? This is the first I've heard of that, Jeff, so tell me more. I brought up the M3 the last time this movie was on (GREAT flick, BTW) and nobody really seemed to care much about it.

I believe the M3 is going to be offered by Mato, not Taigen.

Sorry guys. It was more about the movie than who was releasing it. After a while you get numb about who is releasing what. HL, Taigen, Mato... you get my drift.

I have it on DVD but it's so much easier to flip on the TV than firing up a few sound system components and inserting a disc. LOL!

Thanks!!




Jeff

I hear ya, Jeff, I have it on DVR but I'll still leave it on if I run across it on TCM. I wish someone would show old episodes of .. drum roll please ... The Rat Patrol!! I thought about trying to scratchbuild an M3 but at this point it's a bit beyond my skill set. Rex is helping me change that, though, so maybe one day.

I haven't heard of anyone releasing an M3, but I have seen photos of the M36 Jackson and I understand Mato will have an M10 to go with it. Dave at Blue Star (every time I type that it reminds me of Martin Sheen in Wall Street working for Blue Star Airlines) is interested in doing a hull top for the M7 Priest, but he said there's a problem with the placement of the driver's compartment. Anyone that's good with that kinda stuff may want to take a look and see if the Priest would be a good candidate for an RC adaptation project like that, made to fit on one of the existing Sherman chassis'.

Gary, here's the thread on the possible M3 and Stuart offering. I wouldn't hold my breath consdiering the "prototypes" look to be a privately scratch built representations. Definitely gonna be awhile before we'd see them on any shelves.

thank you so much!!!

dvr already set.

Thanks, Benny. I remember this photo now (darn stupid hippie brain! Doh!). I remember thinking I really like the turret on that Sherman on the left and I wish I could see more of it, and also that I wish someone would do a Hellcat!

and here at the West Coast at 12pm PST (Feb 9, Monday): "BATTLEGROUND".

Yes, Battleground is good... a little dated but good.

"darn stupid hippie brain! Doh!" Glad I'm not the only one from time to time.

From time to time?!? I'm also blond and now classified as a senior citizen! Talk about the deck stacked against me! I'm lucky on any day I can remember my own name!
