Takom has just informed Armorama that they are working on an Mk A Whippet in 1/35th scale. No news on when this will be ready but it will make a great addition to their range.

Since getting back into this hobby my want list is growing and it is primarily Takom and Meng. Now hoping someone gets going into plastic WW1 figures besides just ICM.

OMG! It didn't click when I first read this thread it might be a new Whippet. I was hopeful we'd get one because the tracks are the same as the MKIV but first we get the unexpected MKV from Meng the other day and now this. Fantastic news!

Thomas the ICM WW1 Figures are very good and MasterBox also have a couple of good offerings.

What a fantastic announcement. It was always clear Emhar version did no justice to the mutt, but one with Jap and even Freikorp marking options? I want the want the first one off the moulds.

Darren, Yes they are nice, love the weapon sets their producing for each army as well, but I would like to see more and maybe six to eight figures per box? HMG teams, gun crews etc.
Now that I think of it plastic kits of some of the unique armored cars used in WW1 would be nice as well... ( I know I'm dreaming, but doesn't hurt.)

I have just been told by ICM that they have posted off the WW1 Italians Weapons to me, so the figures cannot be far behind.
