Hi all
Nuremberg toy show next week will see tamiya launch
An new 1/16 full option M551 Sheridan

I've chatted to my tamiya rep and he's confirmed it but as yet no price but will be I guess a fortune

That's not something I'd buy into. Non-refundable deposit but they can't tell you the delivery date or total price???? I don't think so......

This announcement was posted a few days ago on tracklink that included a photo of what for all the world looked like the original Tamiya release from the '70s, quite confusing.

I would query the non refundable deposit with your credit card company. Personally I wouldn't touch this so called offer with a barge pole especially as there is no eta on the kits release date
