I've seen on other websites that Tamiya will be releasing a 1/35 French Leclerc sometime in the near future! Apparently, this news comes from the December issue of Tamiya Modeling Magazine (which I haven't seen myself). I haven't been able to verify this news with any other sources.
If true, this is indeed good news! The Leclerc is one of my favorite modern MBTs, and it's good to see that Tamiya is still kicking around in 1/35.
And really, it's about time something came around to replace that amorphous Heller Leclerc!
