First impressions: 1.) Looks like they fixed the skinny track/wide sprocket issue, and that makes me very happy. These are a different type of track though…I wonder what style the first HM production M10s are coming with? The Achilles also has a new spoked idler. 2.) I believe the Achilles had a slightly modified gun mantlet…which is a detail missing here. Hmm... 3.) Excitingly, they have indeed tooled the late-type “duckbill” turret counterweight for this model. That means we should also be seeing M10s with it before long. Now that the hard/expensive mold part is over, all we need are a few dozen more interesting schemes! Hopefully, once we buy those up, they'll tool a new turret and engine grill/exhaust for an accurate M36!
Looking forward to getting my hands on it! |
