Aloha everyone!!

Does anyone have a pulse on what new "armor" is on the way this year and when? I know of the Trumpeter's T-62 series (no date) and the DML and AFV Clubs continued Stryker series. And oh-also Trumpeters LAV-25 series, but other than that its been all quiet on the Western Front!
And what of "modern" figures? Are we going to see any new British, or even Polish, German, or Russian figures on the market anytime soon?
Oh well one can only hope.......

Probably not.

Every year this gets asked.......the producers are for the most do not let the cat out of the bag....some can't seem to meet target dates for releases so they don't broadcast anything about them, some are super secretive because they don't want other producers to put out the same kit.....Oh no!...another Tiger....gee whiz.

You have to understand also....if there are modellers here that have information on upcoming releases and it has not been made public they aren't going to do it if they are involved with the kit development.....it's a trust issue.

Me personally....yup, I know about a few kits and conversions that are coming out that haven't been made public yet....but Mum's the word......you'll have to wait and see.

Who has the pulse on armour kits for 2008?....the producers should have.....weak or strong it is still there.
