Yep, I got the e-mail too.
Wonder how much it will cost. |
I see on the Tamiya website the 1/35 Vietnam M551 being released, but no mention of a 1/16 RC one.
|
I have to say a Sheridan would 1) not have been my first guess as to their next model and 2) my last choice for their next model.
My perception is although the full size machine was /is interesting to a degree it wasn't really a smashing success as a weapons system.. I'm happy for those who are really buzzed over this. Jerry |
It says on the AAF website...
"Tamiya 1/16th Radio Control M551 Sheridan Tank - Preorder" |

Nice. I think I'll wait a bit to make sure they have the bugs worked out. Unlike I did with the Abrams.
|
Usually the vendor is notified first before Tamiya lists it and you can bank on them (AAF Museum) being correct.

Me too.

For sure dealing with Tamiya USA for help on the Tamiya Abrams build and trouble shooting the electronics issues is something I would not want to do again, LOL, a huge time bandit effort. The trust is long gone. :cool: John |
I'm looking forward to it. Thinking about doing some of the NTC VISMODs.

I've seen it listed in the tamiyablog website. The Nuremberg toy fair is next weekend, so we'll probably see pics then.

No interest in this model, but big props to Tamiya for still developing new kits for the others to copy right down to the photo-etch and decals.

Sometimes I don't understand Tamiya marketing. An M60 or T-54/55 would have been more appealing to me. Heck even a Bradley would be cool. The Sheridan is a definite "Meh" - esp at Tamiya prices. Unless it comes with some new features? Even If I even wanted one, I'd wait for the $200 Heng long copy.

Perhaps Tamiya will next release a 1/16 scale C-130 with pallets and parachutes so you can drop your Sheridan into the next Battle Day...
Jerry |
Agreed...it's kind of a weird choice.

“I want a 1/16th scale M551 Sheridan”, said no one ever. That being said, if Tamiya doesn’t make it, then it is likely that no volume manufacturer ever would. It would be interesting to see where this armored fighting vehicle would fit in the scheme of IR battling - with a scale 70kph, with next to no armor, it’s likely to be Tamiya’s first light tank - would it simply operate on the Light tank setting on the DMD, or would there be some other additional quirks? |
Insure wanna see pics of this new tank. Has anyone pre ordered yet? |
