Yes, I sure do hope that Dragon continues down this path. First the new M48, and now this M103. I would really love to see an all new "Starship".But since AFV Club has announced a new M60A1, who knows... thye do tend to cover many or all of the variants in a series eventually.

The M103A1 is great news; it sure made me smile!  I think I will keep my finger off the "pre-order now!" button though, as I am holding out for a USMC A2.  I wonder if any other kit maker will enter the fray, like Amusing Hobby or Meng?

I agree on the previous call for a Conqueror.  Throw in a T-10 and you have a complete set of 1950s heavies.

So with the kit manufacturers trolling about for interesting untouched subjects, what will come next?  I'd vote for an MBT-70 and an all new M60A2.

I'm all verklempt here......

I almost fell off my stool when I saw this, I absolutely must build this kit. I'm already obsessed.

Hahah, liked the sign "please stat off the tank for your safety". Not sure if it was a deterrent banner for the soviets...

Seems this model came out of the FSM survey...could it be?

There's not much left on Fort Knox, but there's been an M103 in Radcliff, KY since at least 1987.

remember who you friends are here at FSM. used to be one at ft knox back in the 70s. who knows now.

In a couple weeks, I will be in Syracuse, NY. The nearby USMC Reserve Center in Mattydale has a M103A2 on display. Seems like a good time for a photo shoot....

Now we just need a Conqueror and I'll be happy

WOW!!  That is just wicked!!  Glad to see more of these less famous AFVs from the big kit makers!!

Thanks for the post Stik!!

The Beast....

here is the one at Ft Hood

Nice, I took a few pics of one of these beasts at the Mech Museum at Camp Pendleton, it was definitely way impressive up close.

Yup, and  we got that new M48 from Dragon, plus the pair of 151s (Grenada & Vietnam) from Tamiya and Meng announcing a new Leopard 1A3/A4. Trumpeter is still going strong with Soviet armor announcing a new T-72 and T-80... Great days for us Cold War AFV modelers.

Dang, the Gama Goat and then this baby! It's like the Cold War is here again! When it's just the scaled down version and not the real thing, I like it a lot! Thanks for the news, have a nice day

Yeah I knew it's a large vehicle but I had no idea till I got to stand beside one. A museum near here in Danville Virginia has one.

It is quite the beast in person. They had one in the Ft.Polk museum back in the 80s, (along with an AH-56 Cheyenne!) and several were gunnery target hulks out on the ranges at Ft Polk as well. I got to shoot two of those hulks with live TOW missiles back then. Those were some expensive fireworks...

Now that's just friggin' AWESOME!!!
