When is any company ever going to do a modern PLASTIC chieftain tank,the old Tamiya is a bit long in the tooth.And accurate armour are bloody expensive.

Hello.

regarding to the latest releases I would assume that we can calculate in the next years with a new Chieftain, maybe by MENG, AFV or Dragon (M103 and KpPz 70 are "crazy" releases in the context of their German World War II AFV line).

Open is, which MK? Every MK of the Chieftain is interesting, but as a good base for other MKs I could imagine that it will be a MK V.

Cheers

Have you looked at the Castoff Chieftain conversions?
