Hello,

i was just surfing around at Lucky Models and found that you can preorder the M40 "Big Shot". A quick look at the AFV-Club page shows some pics of a build kit . Looks like this beast becomes available soon.

Happy modeling
Harald

Just glad to see it finally being released This kit had to be the ultimate tease back in 2001? I saw the box art for the M40 in the box of the M10 TD

I'd heard of the kit being hopeful for quite awhile, but when I ordered my Lee from LM I inquired about the M40 and they were the ones who told me summer release. Now, murphy's law considered, we'll see how long it will really take to get them in our clutches...but it's getting closer!
