From their official FB page:

"On July 5, Takom celebrates the anniversary of the Battle of Kursk with the announcement of a new AFV series in 1:35"

What would that be?

T-34 ok
but
Ferdinand, Panther D and Tiger I early, too. And all with interior.

Or not?

If they talk about a family, I would suggest StuG III, Panzer IV and Panther from German side,
KV and T-34 from the Soviet Red army and maybe a Matilda if we add Lendlease vehicles to the list. All with interior, of course!

I think it has to be a T-34 also, but you never know.

Quoted Text

If they talk about a family



Takom talk about a series of AFV not a family which doesn't necessarily means all the versions based on a same chassis for instance.

There are also plenty of T-34's and panzers out there, maybe Takom is just using the anniversary of one of the largest tank battles in history to announce something that does not have anything to do with the subject other than being a tank. A long shot, I know, but still possible.

Hi guys, given that the m3 Lee was a lend-lease tank and that there appear to be markings for Russian unit(s) in the kit maybe it will be this.I am hoping it would be something else though.
