Jason,

What are the chances we would see a howitzer done in 1/18? Maybe? Snowball?

Juneau@1 · Post by **Juneau@1** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 6:08 pm

Thanks again for posting pics of the future howitzer and SU-85. When wil you start taking preorders for the Panzer III M? Also, when does it look like it will arrive?
Thanks,
Eric

OK, I have no idea how I missed that interview. It must be because of work starting back up and getting the classroom ready. Fabulous, thanx to Jason and Birddog. It was greatly appreciated. That just made me a bigger AT fan.

Jason, can we get a modern jet.. like Desert Storm era..
i like WW2 and Desert Storm, but Vietnam/ Korea is rather blah, unless u count the Phantom, or maybe the Intruder..

IM STILL WAITING ON A MODERN BIRD

I will be back to answer questions early next week.

I wanted to offer another look for the 1:72 scalers on this forum, before the weekend arrives.

Here is our M41 Walker Bulldog. As you can tell by the photo there is still a little work to be finished before tooling will begin. But we hope to have this tank ready for release in early '07.

Many ask if this tank saw a lot of service. It was used extensively in Korea and Nam and was purchased by over 25 countries.

Hope you enjoy.

Before you ask... at this time, we have no intentions of offering any of the armor or artillery in 1:18.

Regards,
Jason

Sorry 1:18thers. We have had more news about our 1:72 scale line lately. I post 1:72 scale information here because there are a few of you that request information regarding this line. I should be back tomorrow or Monday to post yet another tank in 1:72 scale.

However, 1:18 scale men and women, we will have more information for you in the next couple of months regarding some new aircraft that are coming out. I really think you will not be disappointed. We may have been quite in the last couple of weeks... but very, very busy in your scale.

But back to the post at hand:

The 88 will be constructed of both heavy metal and ABS plastics. Small parts must be tooled in ABS to retain the detail. This is a very large model and we think it will be a must for any WWII collector.

I will state again that this is a Master Model and there is still some work to be done. Minor modifications are in progress as we speak.

However, I must say it really is amazing to see the amount of detail we are able to put into these artillery pieces. These photos are of a 1:72 scale master model!! Detail!!

The anticipated date of completed production is first half '07.

Hope you enjoy,
Regards,
Jason

Would you all like the 88 in 1:18?

You see what we can do in 1:72, imagine what we can do in 1:18. There is no comparison.

We have decided that it is up for negotiation. Let us know the interest.

Regards,
Jason

Is the sky blue?

ogravl · Post by **ogravl** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 3:23 am

Yes, But we also need a tow vehicle to go with such a sweet 88.

kevrut · Post by **kevrut** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 8:20 am

Very interested in one.

Post by **aferguson** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 8:54 am

Yes Jason, i would very much like to see an 88 in 1/18 scale. I would most likely end up getting 6 of them, in various paint schemes (dark grey, dark yellow, DAK).

An 8 ton halftrack to tow it would be the icing on an already very sweet cake.

Rylau · Post by **Rylau** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 9:27 am

Hi Jason; I'd buy a couple, are you starting a waiting list ?

Bob

Jolly Roger · Post by **Jolly Roger** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 1:24 pm

i dont buy much 1:18 armour,

but Artillery is different! the 88 would have a home here, more then one
considering its also a great piece for Dio's, i agree with everyone saying that Admiral should give the armour line a run for its money..

but do whatever you have already started, and i hope thier is a modern jet in there somewhere

Post by **aferguson** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 3:20 pm

let's see that's 1+1+1+6+2+1=12, so far.

That's practically the first production run spoken for already..
