It looks like the Matador from AFV Club is getting closer to release as we have some images of the test build.

Looks nice, though the top seems a bit too perfect.

Nice and I've wanted a Matador for a long time.

I wish AFV Club and Trumpeter would ditch the rubber/vinyl tyres though. Why they can't do them in styrene like other manufacturers i don't know.

Yes and styrene tyres are so much easier to weather too. Plus there's been cases of vinyl melting and reacting with paints etc.
