Not getting my hopes up on any of these. I'm still waiting on the M8 HMC!

Some interesting proposed releases there. The Lumber bundles should be popular and good to see more Churchill and Matador options.

Wow, some interesting stuff, with the M60 hope they will do some IDF versions, Churhills, Sho't,and Scorpion I am sure will find a way into my collection. If they would stay away from the blowup Ammo with the school girls selling them I would be really happy, what is next girls and panzers

On another site the M56 is claimed to be a resin kit (Hobby Fan). I would rather it was styrene. I used to have the Revell 1/40 kit years ago. A most impractical AFV, but it is a cute little bugger!

Yes, M56 and M733 are Hobby Fan. Check the logo on the images. Panda seem to have one WIP in plastic, but considering Pandas track record I might get the resin version myself.

Regarding the Shot Kal one can't make out if the only real differance is new instructions and rammer, or if they actually added the M60-style range finder housing of the Dalet.

Cheers,

Nice to see those news. Hopefully the Wiesel PE parts will be more user friendly !
The M733 looks interesting but being released in resin by Hobby Fan, it will certainly be far from my usual price tags.

Very happy with the Churchill announcements. Keep em coming. I've got three or four other specialized variants in mind.
