Very interesting releases. That Sherman could actually tempt me to try Dragons braille scale armour even though I mostly build 1/35. Especially the inclusion of PE is interesting for this scale.

I haven't bought a 1/72 scale Armour kit for about 30 odd years. Last one was the Airfix Cheiftain round about 1974. Having seen the amazing detail on these perhaps I might invest in that wee Chally 2, just for a wee look.

Thanks for the news Jim I'm no T34 expert......But isn't that type of cast turret on the 1943 models? AKA the CHTZ version?
