Thanks Anders, but I'll wait patiently for the 1/35th release...if it is to be released.

Well, I just got back from Tamiya Con this weekend. Aside from the "contest" I got to see the new Pershing and Sherman and Tigers go at it in the dirt bay behind warehouse.

That R/C Pershing is the coolest thing I have ever seen! I'm not into the winky-blinkies and R/C stuff, but after 10 minutes of watching those tanks trundle around the bay and fight each other - I was sold!

If the little 1:35 scale version looks half as good - it'll be a winner...

yeah I will wait for the 1/35 version as well, I barely have room to store completed 1/35 tanks, let alone 1/16 monsters....I do have a 1/16 Leopard R/C that someone gave me though but it needs all the expensive parts to get it up and running....so there it sits collecting dust on the shelf....
