Hey Andrew... your wish is Heng Long's desire... no joke.

The word over at RCU is HL will be making a 1/16 scale Shermie in the near future. The information comes from Bill at RCCOMMAND who brought us the news of the Stug III, so I consider it absolutely reliable. No word on which model or anything else, but I'll try to keep you guys informed as best that I can. Apparently it's in the "design phase" and at least a couple months away. These are exciting times for RC armor, can an updated 1/16 Panther be far behind...?? Read the thread here, you'll need to scroll down towards the end to find the info...

I also heard they were considering doing the elephant and supposedly asking vendors what they thought.

* Seems as if you can pretty much get what you wish for in this scale (1/16th) .

* I think you'll end up taking this plunge "aferg".

Please please please please don't take the easy way and rip-off Tamiya again.

I'm tired of the HVSS suspension.
