Another tank is on the way from Ding Hao, this time a Chinese tank based on the Duster chassis and Hellcat turret.
Ding Hao has announced they have a Chinese Type 64 tank in the works. The Type 64 tank is a hybrid of two American tanks that were acquired during the Chinese Civil War. The tank uses surplus M42 Duster chassis’ with M18 Hellcat turrets. Ding Hao being a sister company of AFV Club, the parts would more than likely be sourced from AFV Club kits, with additional parts to complete the Type 64.

DH96007 ROC Type 64 Light Tank

Armorama would like to thank AFV Club for the update.

I'll be looking to get this- the Hellcat turret and Duster chassis look really good bashed together.

Quite a neat little vehicle. One thing though - the large gap between the fender stowage boxes & the exhausts. On the M42 this is where the air cleaners sat, but the stowage boxes were a different (shorter)design, but this looks to be fitted with full length M41 stowage boxes, so there should not be a gap? Anyone know the story behind this? Mal

I have one ordered from HLJ, but I'm waiting on the Metal Barrel for the Tamiya Panther D to come back into stock so I can have everything shipped out in one shot.
