Crickey...!! How come nobody has put out a decent Saracen...? As a kid I remember(I think) there used to be a Dinkey Toy of one. I remember having the Centurian with tank transporter and it was a gem for a 10 yr old, but I always loved the Saracen.

Come on Trumpeter, Meng, Hobby Boss, get with the program, we NEED a good, no GREAT 1/35 scale Saracen.

Regards,

Assuming you mean in injection moulded styrene, then the answer has to be that they don't think it will sell better than the other ideas the companies have for subjects.

If you mean _any_ 1/35 kit then there are a couple of resin kits avilable that are qute good, if somewhat more dear than an injected kit.

And, of course, the list of subjects fitting "Oh my ghod, why no kit of _insert vehicle here_ when three companies are producing an experimental Soviet swamp tank" is rather long.

And the Saracen is rather in the middle of it.
