Riich Models has announced a 1/72 M992A1, M109A2 and a M109A6. All these companies have shown 1/35 M992's where are they.

Not enough people have scratchbuilt M992 yet for the model release gods to be satisfied.

That's always how it is. All these companies announce, announce and announce but too few deliver. Takom like announces and *boom* a month later it's for sale. Even Dragon announces stuff so far out you've completely forgetten about it when it's finally available.

One Revell reissue was delayed by two months from announcement to release and another was in distribution before the announcement. And of course the one you least wanted was the one available early.

They fell off the radar when AFV club came out with theirs. In the meantime they did the Lee, M47, the fv 432 and so on. Think they moved on to other things?
