Clark's 1/16 Cromwell
#1
Thread Starter

It's refreshing to have a player in the market who actually listens to consumers when it comes to a subject that most have ignored over the years, British armor. Clark will be entering the market this year with several RTR models including a Cromwell. Also under consideration is the A34 Comet.
You can follow his progress on their Facebook page.

Clark, is to be a kit or RTR? Can you advise more details, ie, will it be along the lines of Tamiya/Taigan with metal/plastic construction or all plastic? Any idea towards release date & price range? Thanks.
CLARK: Should be RTR, include S.Bus TK40 and radio, metal + plastic construction, middle of 2019 and $600 price range I estimated now.

That seems low for a clark. My m60 was an expensive kit. It was 1500 just to get it to my door, then i put metal wheels and an ibu on it.
I bet the Bradley is going to be costly.

Yes, the Bradley does look nice but I've always been wanting a proper British runner so that's been my focus. Perhaps a Centurion Mk3 will be in the offering if he sees enough interest.
If you scroll down through Clark's FB page, you'll find he put up a poll on Christmas Day asking for comment on future models. Here's a screenshot of what he posted. He decided to first go with the Cromwell & said he'll decide next one in February so now is the time to add your comments & suggestions.

The RC M113A1 looks cool. More info would be nice.

Alas, I don't do Facebook. It keeps blocking my view of Clark's site asking me to join.

Hate to say but your loss if you don't see what he's posting along with the comments & suggestions pouring in. Cromwell took priority which is already in the works & he's garnered a lot of interest in the Bradley, Comet, M60 & soft skins such as Sd.Kfz. 251.

Hi guys, yep, I know some guys are turning to rc some stating 1/18 and 1/16 models... But I think for me thats too complicated. I have no problem with electronics at all, but is more on the mechanical conversion.
Anyway if you have detailed photos for the conversion, I may give it a try!

I rarely make comments like this but the last thing the 1/16th model world needs is another Tiger - every notable manufacturer from Bandai to WSN and everyone in between seems to have done one.
Can we keep the British tank momentum going please?
