The Italeri M24 isn't that old, 1984-85 if I were to guess with the retool coming out around 2003. I am glad we're getting a new tooled kit though; the price of the Chaffees on the secondary market was ridiculous.

You'll start to see a flurry of them hit eBay and get big bucks until folks out there realize a new one's coming. Then you won't be able to sell them for what it would cost to mail them.

Arron - Yep....the M24 has waited a while.

They are also supposed to release the M1 155mm Howitzer...hopefully a good replacement for the old Peerless/Italeri/Testors kit. They could do two versions....the original M1 and the M114 used in VN.

Now with the M24 Chaffee parts and the M1 parts the can make the M41 Gorilla SPH. Considering how manufacturers like to get multiple kits from a mold set....I hope this is all coming!!

Rounds Complete!!

Oh, the long awaited M-24 is finally getting it's due! What took so long? Look for a bunch of  Italeri kits to hit ebay soon too. LOL

I wouldn't be surprised if Dragon has one in the works. I recently saw one on a box-top (can't recall which tank), so I wouldn't be shocked if they also release or announce one too, since many kits seem to be released from other vehicles seen on box-tops.

A couple of websites are showing that Bronco is releasing a 1/35 scale Buffalo MPCV and an M24 Chaffee. No release dates for either, but it's good news for Allied and modern modelers.

Cheers, Aaron
