| Just happened that they all show up today within an hour of each other: From Tom Hugill, fellow tanker on the UK Forum. Tamiya turret, Ludwig upper and lower with Asiatam Elephant running gears. Sounds like something I would build. Should be ready for the next battle day. A giant secret box from Carson @ DKLM. Clue - my first 3D printed tank, kinda. And finally, my first NIB Tamiya purchase from AAF Museum. The Carson/DKLM box has a Super Pershing barrel so this will be a M26E4. Limited production run of the Super Pershing. |

| Its a beaut......... Heavy aluminium lower hull from Ludwig, and the new style Asiatam bogie assembly seems to be a huge improvement then on my Elephant, so this one will definitely see sunlight as suppose to my Asiatam Elephant which is a shelf queen on a good day when it is not broken. Also has a completely hiddne battle system. Flashing LEDs spread around the turret, and sensors built into the commander's cupola ring. |

| So then the only question is if it will hit Ed's KT successfully from 5m away... |

| Its okay. I have others that can hit his KT now. Both my M10 and my M36B1 was hitting it, as long as they are not throwing tracks........... |

| I see that Hooben has a P. Tiger out now, is that any better or worse? Seems cool, I just don't trust running gear I can't swap parts out on the fly _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT

| That would make senses. Just like Asiatam did, if you have an Elephant bottom already, that's the next logical product. Their re-release of the T-55A is excellent, so it would be a good one to add to the 1/16 scale.
Not too sure about their all metal Maus however. Doesn't look right too me scale wise, especcially if you are asking $2k for it. |
