Now Academy is doing an M1A2 TUSK II. If they are using their old M1A1 as a base, I'm passing

Thanks Don!

So Academy is also releasing M1A2 SEP TUSK II?!... Now that is just crazy... Three kits of this tank coming with the fourth already available.

Looks like Trump has an Armata coming too

Looks like Italeri is still planning on releasing the M1120 HEMTT LHS.



I'll pass on the Academy M1A2 SEP w/TUSK II as well. I'm sure it will just be an extension of their inaccurate current Abrams.

That AFV Club Husky looks amazing!

Hard to tell, but it looks like it might be new-tool turret and upper hull. Even so, this TUSK situation is getting out of hand...

Thanks Don & Thomas ! Trumpy sure has been busy !

Tamiya AMX-13, that was a surprise.

Thank you for these pics, Don and Thomas.

That Trumpeter 1/16 scale T-72 is looking nice.. I wonder if they will be releasing it soon?

DITTO...

I KNEW that this M1A2 SEP TUSK I & II business would turn into another Tiger I-type "battle"... WHAT A WASTE!

OH! And GUESS WHAT? ACADEMY is ALSO showing ANOTHER TIGER I!!!

I would be interested in that one along with their SU-76

How is it a waste? How does it effect you at all? What is the harm of having multiple kits of the same subject for people to buy? I'm sure this one will be on the cheaper end of the spectrum and will appeal to some who don't want an uber-detailed kit like the others will likely be. In my opinion, more kits are always a good thing.

I wish companies would apply this to MRAP's like they do to MBT's.. would be nice to have more than one Maxx-pro to choose from (plastic, that is ).. and others

1/48.

Well, OK! I give up! New kits are perfectly fine with me, but do they absolutely HAVE to be kits of the SAME SUBJECT over and over for years on end? Let's have have about 50 more 1/35 Tiger Is, as if the market wasn't already flooded with them. Same goes for Bf.109s...

Dare I say it?

How about a new state-of-the-art M3 thru M3A1 Light Stuart/Honey-series? Or an entirely new M3 Medium Lee/Grant? New M46 and M47 Pattons? How come we couldn't have seen a Dodge WC54 Ambulance? That old ITALERI/TESTORS-ITALERI/BILEK/PEERLESS MAX WC54 re-hash is REEEALLY GETTING OLD! There are a myriad of Soft-skins that we could also use, without going into a lengthy discussion or reams of lists.

It's great that TRUMPETER/HOBBY BOSS/MERIT are going to be giving us a whole boatload of really new material thru 2016, and I really look forward to their Vickers Mk.I Medium and their two M35 Panzerwagen Steyr AND Daimler kits. Also the Chinese Type 62 Light Tank, which will open up some really new NVA possibilities, in addition to the Chinese versions.
And not to throw DRAGON to the wolves altogether, I'm really looking forward to their 3553 M60 (FINALLY! A dedicated M60 kit!), 3559 M48A1 (with an optional "Elvis" version), and 3562 M60A2, which is just starting to hit the Hobby Shops' shelves!

Sigh, the Wheels are wrong on the Hemett.

The M1120 LHS wheels look correct to me. The front could be a little deeper and better defined, but they seem to be the correct type.

it did not even include Dragon models,wow! one has to rob a bank in order buy all of them!

Do US army use M-1120 use as a tank transport?

48th scale full interior U-boat. including the light.

M1120 carries a single 20 ft container. There is no tank in US active service, and few other combat vehicles that could fit on such a small space...

So it can carry a Humvee on a pallet, but not much more.

The only tank from Trumpeter I really care about is the 1/16th Jadgtiger and that's hardly shown in any of the images
