SleeperService Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 If it sells I'm sure they will. Just talking on the phone with my mate about this. Can be backdated all the way to the early days in West Germany. Loads of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinistervampire319 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Fantastic news! About time. Hopefully this starts the ball rolling for more modern stuff in this scale. Now we need that 1/48 C-5 Galaxy more than ever! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMK Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 3 hours ago, Reini78 said: review by Brett Green on Missing-Lynx http://www.missing-lynx.com/reviews/48/tamiya32592reviewbg_1.html A bit disappointed, tbh. The Flyhawk 1/72 offering looks more detailed, especially around the exhaust, crew hatches, & tracks. The layout of the kit doesn't suggest other (non-A2) variants, nor does the hull support SEP variants. The boxtop is 100% accurate - this is a plain vanilla M1A2 - it's just that this is one of the least-produced variants of this vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinBK Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Tamiya San : next a T-72 and Leclerc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Would it be too much to ask for an opened drivers hatch? Nearly every picture has the driver's head out. I see I'll be getting more practice filling in ejector pin marks on the track runs. At least they're on the inside unlike the HB T-34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 In Australian service, the driver's hatch is generally open when being ground guided. Something about the driver's hatch, when opening, having an interlock that prevents the turret traversing. The loader's hatch, on the other hand..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Builder Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Its finally time that 1/48 modern AFV kits are starting to come out. Tamiya has been championing the way, no better way to help kick start it with an Abrams and the Type 10 not to mention the humvee and japanese armoured vehicle. Hopefully other manufacturers will follow suit. Its time 1/48 modern AFV kits get there time in the sun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
