BTW Jason: Is the PzIII-M the last (nearly all) metal armor model that you (Admiral) will be producing? I think that the III-H is the high point of the series so far. Why didn't you put a box on the back of the turret though? (Finally got to ask that question!!) Probably not. We have some plans to ...

Unfortunate. I was looking forward to this release. I am sure they have a very good reason. FOV is "the manufacturer" in this industry. Trust me, FOV knew well in advance if China had an issue with this model. It has something to do with the facility's schedule. Manufactures know well in advance, be...

Hello fellow Collectors, This model is not from Admiral Toys. So please stop calling and asking about this model. It is the manufacturer’s prerogative to choose when to release information about this model to the public. I am sure this company will do a great job with the model, they always do. Rega...

I talked to Tony of Merit today. He said that Merit will not attend the show as an exhibitor. However, he personally will be at the show.
