Modelminiatures Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hello all. Please may I add an armour model kit. I saw this announced at the IPMS UK Nationals. Rumour of a AEC Matador artillary tractor. I see now this is released by AFV Club. It is the early version and would have prefered the late version however a kit most wanted I am sure. I see the RRP tag though is £49.99. I wil certainly have one. Then what about conversion to late and even an RAF refueller. !!!! Thanks for looking.

junco Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 They put them on special order only a while ago and sold some off in a sale! So I think its no shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Same thing happened when Tamiya released the 1/35 Austin Tilly. I've got a feeling that Accurate Armour may have an issue as the mainstream manufacturers start releasing more British equipment. German armour's pretty much mined out now - ICM's started on the trucks and light vehicles. Mike. Edited January 11, 2014 by MikeR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The same thing is happening with the European resin manufacturers. A lot of their bigger kits are due to be usurped this year as Trumpeter release the 2S7 SPG, SS-23, and SA-8 Gecko, all in 1:35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayprit Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think a similar thing happened to Accurate Armour when Trumpeter released their Faun Elephant SLT-56 Tank Transporter also.....although you can still get there Faun decal sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I got the AFV Club Matador last week and it is wonderful. Been waiting for this for ages and well worth the wait. We sold all six that we had in stock at my Hobby Store on Friday, mostly because it can be made into so many different versions. Look forward to making it.
