ok - so the last clue before the Monday Afternoon reveal ....

It's bigger then the CVR(T).

We looked at the CVR(T) as the next release, but there are so many variants that it boggles the mind ..Scimitar, Spartan, Samson, Sultan, Samaritan, Scorpion. So unfortunately no, the next release is not a CVR(T).

....not to mention Sabre, Salamander, Sturgeon..... If you're a real anorak, you may also be aware of the proposal to adapt Spartan - since it was a "topless" Spartan, it would have been called Streaker......

Of all the variants, Scimitar is probably the most numerous and recognisable. Anyway, let's hope it's never say never.

The game goes on......

Wot, no Stormer? the stretched CVR-T 8)

Maybe not British then. But-

I wonder if Butcher Boy, Blondie or Bargain Basement with Sgt Guffy might be back on the cards? :wink:

Please no matilda and the Swedish S tank...innovative but I already have a wheel chalk don't need one with tracks. Neither catches my eye.

An m3 or m5, chaffee, comet or renault would be my interest. But that's my opinionated opinion we will see come monday.

The thought of a Comet...be still my beating heart...

I still reckon it's a Panzer IV variant though. Saying that, JagdPanzer IV Lang L/70 would be cool!

Comet for its size was a pretty good tank and could take on the larger German tanks if positioned close enough. Infantry meeting it in combat would certainly have cause to worry. Not without mention it just has a certain nice look to it

Ooh Alex, you'd really like the Comet. And it came with a wonderful detail kit out the box.
The one I get to work on from time to time gets dammed good thrashing from time to time from it's owner, but it runs so so smoothly, quick and agile
It's really easy to transport too compared to its heavy weight big brother Centurion too.
It would be nice to have one with a slip ring as with the latest Armortek tanks.
Lot's of stuff going on in the turret on this one, needing a replacement battery to power the auxiliaries this time around.

Looking forward to the announcement , all will be revealed very soon.
