The catalog they posted on their FB also mentions an M1A2 SEP and T-72B in 1/16.

I hope they just don't scale up their 1:35 M1A1/A2's. They never did fix the front turret angles.

I think that's unlikely - Trumpeter have come a long way since they released their 1/35th M1 kits. Frankly I'm surprised that older releases like the Abrams and T-55s are still in their catalogue considering they're more or less junk by current standards, but perhaps they still sell.

I'm massively looking forward to these releases, even though I've never been tempted by large scale armour before.
