According to their website, they will be coming out with a 1/35 M3 Lee next year!
Thought that was good news. Something else to look forward to along with the M36.

That's exciting news BC. Thanks for sharing it. Now, if we can get a Grant, M5, M8 and maybe a recce M3. I know, don't be greedy.

This is great news. Was that from an official Academy spokesperson? I wasn't quite sure.

There have been a lot of things that Academy has said will be out at a certain time, and although I am excited that they are bringing new releases, all of them with very good detail and enjoyment, I know that their timelines are sometimes lost in the shuffle. A good example is the M728 that has been in their catalog since 2001, with a due out date some time in 2002.

I think Academy is an excellent company, and probably one of their best things they could do would be to sell some of their sprues as aftermarket parts, such as the VVSS and HVSS suspensions, the individual track links for the M3 Stuart, and the sprue that contains the weapons/OVM items included in the M10/M3 series stuff.
