Looks like this gem from Trumpeter is going to come out finally! Saw it on PMMS.

Fine with me, I'd like to RC it and turn it into a Tank Destroyer to go with my Tunisian tanks.

Like 'Kelly's Heroes'? :D

Will be glad to have this. Now for a 1/16 Hanomag from HL. ready to run RC would be nice. :D
I think HL is really gearing up for the 1/16 scale RC stuff. They have seen if they make it we will buy it if its made right.

Judging from Panther F's site showing the release news, it looks wholly suitable for RC conversion. Metal chassis, rubber tracks and tires, numerous other metal parts and a steering mechanism(?)!

Wow. Looks like there could be an RC version in the future. The Quad .50 is a pretty cool variant too.

I really wouldn't care if it isn't R/C capable. It will have 482 parts on 25 sprues ... sounds like a great kit to get lost in! Heck, I wouldn't mind getting their new 1/16th King Tiger too.

Judging by the pictures of it and having both of their T34/76 kits, detail is their new game in 1/16th.

Very nice... I'd love to see Trumpeter's 1/16 kit line expand... I got the T-34/85 for my birthday a week ago and am simply enthralled by the size and detail of the parts... and man-o-man the King Tiger will be amazing if it's anywhere near as detailed as the T-34 line (and HUGE!)
