t-72?

Martellus

Well, time to list "T" tanks then I guess

T-28 Super heavy?

T-29 heavy?

T-30 heavy?

T-32 heavy?

T-28 medium?

T-35 heavy tank, multi turret monstrosity and most glorious vehicle of the soviet union?

T-62 MBT?

T-64 MBT?

T-72 MBT?

T-80 MBT?

T-14 MBT?

T-44 medium?

T-10 heavy? (the russian)

T-60 light?

T-70 light?

T-38 light?

Those are all the vehicles I can think of right now. Judging by something we are not expecting, and the general wants on this forum I am guessing T-62/70/80

If it's an existing model kit company I am guessing it might be something they already have in 1:35, but thats going on a limb though

If I go by that though AFAIK nobody makes a T29, 30, or 32 so those can be removed instantly, as well as T-44 and T10

I dont see any light tanks happening anytime soon so no 60,70 or 80 light tanks

T-28 I doubt that would be made, russian or american, as well as the 35 as cool as they might be.

So my best guess is still a t62 t72 or t80 (I see 62 or 72 happening more than 64) Or T-14. But its pretty new yes?

forgot to say I didn't list the t-55 since hooben already makes it

This thread seems to have us kind of worked up...

Re released t-55, I'll believe it when I see it, still waiting for their Leo 2a4 and Abrams.....Fengs been promising me the plans for my hooben submarine for months now and nothing.

Try Traxxas for the T... something.

T = taxi, as in a modern NYC taxi cab, with a wet zimmerit like substance on the floor boards?

Summing up the clues.... 1/16th tank from a maker that is new to tanks and may be unexpected, but we should be familiar with them.... Tank is modern, T-something. (Or T might be the maker).

My guess, T90... by Waltersons. They have had customized henglong tanks in the past i believe? Also i would think Erik may have the inside scoop on this co because of the waltersons products imex sells. There have been pics and rumors out of the HL T90. Thats my guess. We will see tomorrow. 0.0

I think the real news may be the company, not the first offering. Someone that hasn't ventured into the tank market yet just might do it in a big way, with multiple releases in a short period. Right. I might as well hope for a ...

That would make more than a few Volks Happy...

On another hand I'd like to see a By Design 1/16 scale RC Willis Jeep!
A 1/16 scale Deus And A Half would not be Amiss either!

(A 1/48 scale Type VII will be Large!!! )

Second Christmas Indeed!

Trumpeter will soon release a Type VIIC in 1/48 scale. Very tempting for me, but I've still got the 72nd scale boat I haven't built yet. Here's the U Boat

Agustus, you are so right on, I have two franklin mint models I have been pondering how to make rc and get a chassis under them.

Man you guys are good

0.0. It's almost 7pm in Nuremburg. No announcement yet?

Also, I 3rd a 1/16th Jeep.

Crius

Make that four. Any soft skinned vehicles will be a welcome addition to the village.

Imex-Erik

Just waiting on bossman.... I think he is trying to snag a picture first

Crius

I still think maybe a vehicle from Traxxas, or possibly Ark models, but they're not really a "new player".

Hopefully it's soon to hold off any potential brain aneurysms here!

This is the first year I've not seen any pre-Nuremberg announcement by Ark/Hooben so doubt they are at the Fair.

My vote is IMAI.

Imex-Erik

Blame bossman for that! He prolly is still jet-lagged from the long flight. I know one of his friend's planes had a problem and he had a multiple hour layover waiting on him so that might of been the killer there. Either way 100% it gets announced tomorrow whether I hear from him or not (sorry bossman, I just gotta!)

Hi Erik
This thread should come with a warning - "Danger, Erik & the Bossman are on the Tease again"

Hi Martellus
Presume you haven't heard about this - http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?...=241915&page=1 -

Oh my gosh finally, good to know

Imex-Erik

Yea sorry about that, I told him not to I know you guys hate the tease. I just have to make sure I get the OK from them to announce first. Best to work with new manufacturers than against right? Trust me it will be worth it. The new manufacturer is making all new electronics too
