Will it have metal roadwheels with rubber tires?

Does the first guy to guess right get a free one?

What? Who said that? Sorry, must've dozed off into dreamland for a second there.

It's a Panzer IV.

So if the "Announcement" is January 1st, we might be able to buy one by Christmas of '17?

Hi, the other day I email TaigenTanks.com asking for some information regarding the Tiger I late production metal edition. No one ever reply. I eventually decide to go with a Mato all metal Panzer III.

THAT was my next guess... the JS2? Doesn't Taigen already have a KV tank?

Also I have been in talks with the mods on adding a sub forum section where us vendors can post product news, updates, etc. I know you guys would love a thread just for the IBU or Clark boards, a place where you guys can share tips, installs, etc. The same would go for our tanks and this way for those of you who don't care do not have to see.

Edit: Forgot to mention the 72nd BOGO sales are back

Hey, Eric. I've sent you several emails about getting authorization from you for returning one of the 1/72 tanks that isn't working. It wasn't a problem with the battery. I'd like to order some more stuff but I'm hesitant until I get things worked out on the 1/72 Abrams that isn't working.

Send me an email direct to [email protected] please, it seems some emails are not being received. I've had a few people tell me they have emailed but got no response, my personal email is separate from the website just in case. I've checked the emails over the past week (I get over 50 emails a day from the site minimum but I only seen one asking about ETA of restock of the 12041.

I sent you a message authorizing and with a return label Did you not get that? I'll have another sent over by the end of the day ok?

Man you guys sure are snatching up those tanks and even the kits too! This Xmas is going to be a very nice one for more than a few people, this year has been exceptionally busy!

Hmmm... No comment from Erik in regards to a T34/76. I think I nailed it. :-)

So are you saying that you can neither confirm nor deny? ;-)

We all know I'm partial to Russian armor, but sadly I did not get my way this time.

Then the best I can hope for is an M3 Lee that I can use as a lend lease pressed into service on the Russian front.

Hmm... no 'new' Shermans, but you DO have the lower running gear parts for an M3 Lee/Grant?

I already told you what it is. It's not a Sherman or a Grant or a Lee, it's a freakin' Panzer IV. Read what he said - it has a turret, our new lower hull design, and it's about the same size as the Sherman. They already make the metal suspension and the best sprockets out there, now all they need is a decent lower hull to make all kinds of PzIV variants.

Just a note, this has already been discussed Just need to clear up a few things first then this might be a very high probability....
Also yes, we are working on a HVSS kit for the Shermans. I'll confirm it here. HOWEVER we do not have an ETA on it just yet. When I get more detail on it I'll let you guys know.

A "true to scale" Bulldog would be nice. Unlike the HL/Taigen one.

That's good to know!

Certainly, any tank would be jaw dropping. You know... it's been discussed to death. An M60, M47, Centurion, a Stuart... You get it.

Some big changes will start this year with Taigen. From new models to new electronics, this will be a big year for sure. I have a lot planned and I'll even be visiting the factory myself in 2017 (just got word today!) so that I can help with some stuff. With an average output of 3-6 tanks a year Taigen will be stepping our game up a bit. In the works now we have the Leo2 (more on that soon, most likely April release btw!), the Jan 1st tank, another tank, the Abrams, and one more confirmed tank we are looking at least 4 tanks in 2017 if all goes well minimum.

Ok Santa,

I would like a Centurion, a M47 or M60, and it is great news hearing about the HVVS since I have been wanting to do a E8 build for awhile.

Thanks for the persistence, Eric. I got your message with the return shipping label via my Gmail account.

I like the 1/72's, they're pretty cool. Three of them are working fine. I'm looking forward to getting a replacement for the fourth one.

I got my latest order of the 1/72's. I went with the British Challenger and the T-72M1 this time. The Challenger is fantastic, and runs, looks, and sounds great. I have learned these little tanks run best if they're broken-in on a smooth table top first. They seem to need a little time to get everything to mesh properly.

I do have a little problem with the T-72's transmitter so I've emailed you about it, Eric.

I hope there's going to be more of these little tanks. I'd love to seem some WWII's (Tigers, Shermans, etc.)
