So what are the chances with all the 'what if's arriving from Dragon that we might see this?
It would make a great shelf addition and a non modern Russian release.

The modelling law would dictate...if someone scratchbuilds one that almost guarantees its release.

I'd like to see one too. Specifically the version without all the additions looks great. I really like the "light M1" look.

Doug, if the M8 is cut in plastic I think Hobby Boss would be the likely manufacturer. There was also the M8 competitors the Cadillac Gage Stingray (used by Thailand) and the FMC CCVL. I like the sharper angles of the later two.

It appeared at AUSA 2015. Here is an IHS Jane's video. It didn't seem to make an appearance at AUSA 2016.

More info on the M8 AGS at AUSA 2016. Seems like the next prototype will have updated modernized features.

The lost type classified named tank. The M8 Buford. Be nice to see a 3 in 1 kit with the armor packages.

Six were built which means it has six times as many existing prototypes than paper panzers.
