It's pretty cool to see what effect a computer game has on the modelling world... I wonder if this is for WoT players who got into modelling, or if the target customers are the modellers who play WoT... (Would be interesting to see their market research.)

I might just give this one a go. Perhaps in envisaged service on Middle East trials or similar. Possibly painted Sand over Bronze Green as seen in, say, Aden around the time.
One question though (way in advance of actually getting the kit but I need to be ready!) where the hell is the aperture for the Gunner's sight? Probably answered my own question if I think about it - wherever I like I suppose.

You don't count the previously released FV215b? Also from Amusing Hobby. Heck maybe I'm the only one who liked and built that release! Haven't seen any others built up online. (Update: added '1/35' to the search and saw a few...)

It's ALL about "terminology". You can find virtually anything you want on-line if you find or figure out the right words, numbers, secret "high-signs' and "what-evers"!
PS- Forgot all about your FV215b... Sorry, not my "niche", I guess...

Gotta say though, this new beast does look sexy!

Interesting that they chose this one because it's definitely not one of the popular(or well known) vehicles among the WOT playerbase. Their previous WOT releases, waffen E-100, FV215b, and JgPz E-100 surely are. Nor had this ever come up in any popular anime shows such as GuP, like ARL-44. Looking forward to their future releases.

Interesting "what-if" beast that looks like it possibly might have been ordered some time in the late 1940s to mid 1950s period though I think that the unusually-long barrel might have proved problematic in the field. Still, interesting without being silly. (Jagdpanther II anyone?)

Don't be silly! In the WoT universe the gunner just pops the breech open and squints along the bore to line up his target!
BTW, what's the official term for non-German or specifically British paper designs? "Serviette Subtypes"?...

It looks like an British KV-14 to me.
