Wow - 55 seconds of my life I'll never get back. I just wish today's companies would cut the BS and tell us what their new kit is!

Wake me up when they mention the name...

Really a waste of time. I wouldn't have even posted it if I were an editor. It shows nothing, no hints, no clues, no blurry images, nothing at all.

So let me get this straight; it is ok for Takom to do this, but not anyone else?

Well... I know, I know! Is the model a bunch of crumbling letters? No? Oh well... Frankly (opinionated part here) I'd prefer that companies (all) just come out and announce the darn kit by name or at least give us a good idea of the upcoming kit instead of having these stupid obscure advertisements that tell us absolutely nothing and force us to simply guess what it is without any hint of, well, a hint. It's like trying to navigate along a steep cliff, in absolute darkness without any source of light. Here I thought there was going to be some sort of a picture that we could base our guesses off of... All we get are stupid crumbling letters. I don't know... These companies aren't resonating with me frankly. Give us something, give us substance. We (in my opinion) feed off of substance and having a reasonable idea of what's ahead.

I didn't see Takom's "announcement" but I would have given the same response if it is the same type.

These type of "announcements" are a waste of time.

This will make me tend to ignore whatever it is instead of anticipate it.

Alright, but what will the model be? There are stating it is something never released in plastic before, hmmmmmmm? I will go with my standard answer, a Ram II.

Hey, a ridiculous answer for a ridiculous advertisement. Can't be serious all the time. But if you want a serious answer, maybe it'll be a Matilda Mk. I. Miniart has done British tanks before and as far as I know, there has not been a Mk. I Matilda in plastic. Resin yes, plastic (as far as I know) no... So there, my ridiculous and my serious, productive, mature answer.

EDIT: Wait wasn't there that Eastern European kit of a Matilda? I'm not sure if that was a Valentine or a Matilda Mk I.

I'd be happy with a Canadian Ram or Australian Sentinel, however I do feel this advert is not that good and just gets peoples backs up.

Ah the clue here is 'workable torsion bars' which rules out SU-122 and Matilda I'm afraid.

Tamiya already does a Matilda.
