Kenny G 258 Posted June 20, 2022 Man, I'd love to get into the 1/16 tanks. Someday.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim.senecal 487 Posted June 21, 2022 since it is basically an upgraded leopard2 with a new turret, it would not be hard for Tamiya to come out with it sooner rather than later. no changes to the r/c chassis, just new plastic parts. kind of like their panther vs jagpanther Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Durahl 1 Posted December 6, 2022 I'm gonna bend out of the window and say that Tamiya will never make this a 1:16 Model - Probably not even a 1:35 in the foreseeable time either. Why? Because it needs to go into service first and have some history to back it up and the KF-51 isn't there yet with either. As such... You're more likely to see an aftermarket conversion kit the likes of a 2A7+ one for the Leopard 2A6 to make an appearance before Tamiya releases something like that. Or wait until a company other than Tamiya releases a 1:35 Kit ( I could see Meng doing one ) and use that as a base for making your own conversion kit.
