They probably have not decided what to do. They are counting the number of 'wants' before deciding..... That is marketing.

Come to think of it, that would be a smart way of doing it... throw a tire or a piece of a track out there and see what the majority of the people ask for

We'll know for sure if, whatever it is, gets released after a couple of months, or after a year

By the way, either of these two tires fit a Chevy C-20 pick-up, or something like that?

Second wheel looks perfect for something with a "star" they were working on

Maybe, as a suggestion, a Dingo MRAP? The tyre looks too large for an Enok or Eagle.

I live in hope.

Well in that case for tire tread #1 I'll take a G6

And tire tread #2 gives a distinctive DKW Munga fibe off

Looking forward to the Hanomag, but it does look like 'overkill' for that pak 40

Great news, not a kit I want at all. But it does bode well for wheeled, self-propelled artillery. And begs the question, who else is going to release one?

Keep an eye on Luckymodel's pre-order page.. they are their distributors in HK and are among the first to get Takom kits.. besides some people offering them on e-bay.
