Thanks!

This looks great and appealing and everything, but truly, a plastic kit for just 10-15 quid would be better.

Yeah, it would be nice if the recent trend in 1/35 scale (issuing more obscure vehicles as plastic kits) would carry over to 1/72. There are some real cool tanks in 1/35 I would love to see in 1/72. And as we have seen this could work as a business decision; people do buy other models than Tigers, Shermans and T-34s. We now do have obscure, Hungarian tanks in plastic, and I would love to have experimental heavy tanks (M6, T29, T34, etc), tank destroyers (T92) and all sorts of interwar light tanks in this scale. I guess we have much to thank to World of Tanks...



There is a Cromwell Model kit of it already, but it is quite difficult to get. I guess CMK's added value will be accessibility...

THis kit only needs two things as far as I am concerned: offer it in 1/35 and make it in styrene. Interesting beastie.
