As Takom announced the Marksman, Hobby Boss responds by announcing a Gepard, which should be a great update to the aging Tamiya kit.

Takom also apparently has something Leopard related in the pipeline, according to their Facebook page. Might be another Gepard

I hope they realise that in-service Gepard does not wear skirts.

other release is a early chieftain mk1/2. Look at the picture with m9 ace and it shows boxart and instructions.

I have found a picture posted by Mig Jimenez and on the back wall it does look to be an early Chieftain, Gepard, and the Marksman.
