Re: HM new releases 1.72

In relation to the M10:

-As already pointed out, I do hope that they can correct the tracks on the front sprocket.
-Another question is the 3'' barrel. It looks to thin and to short. With this the gap between the Barrel and the mantlet seems to big.

Here are photos of the real thing
World War II Tanks - USA's M10 3" Gun Motor Carriage

Maybe it is just the way the photo of the model as taken. What does everyone else think?

Another request is that the prices of these models do not reach the €25 mark (in Europe) as the latest M26 have....

Forgot to say: If the price is nice I will buy a couple....

These are pre-production pictures, prior to any fine tuning.
