Ah a command Mk.III. But nothing overly exciting. It is nice to see the plethora of Mk.IIIs available compared to 20 years ago. But there are other AFVs un addressed in 1/35.

More ww1 armor would be nice. How about a pair of M/F MK. IV's with interiors? I see the Meng Char 2C, which I'm gonna buy, but it'd be nice if there was more to it than just an exterior kit. Takom or Meng would be perfect manufacturers for both of those models.

You mean like the upcoming Mk.IVs from Tamiya and Takom? ;-) I suspect that we will see more WWI tank kits over the next four years.

Kinda cool....but I doubt many people will get excited about a new Pz III. They didn't exactly win popularity contest even before the market was glutted with every German variant known.

Exactly. 20 years ago, this would have been a big splash. Now its just business as usual. Now if it were a DD Sherman or LVT-3 Bushmaster, I would put it on my "must have" list.
