IMO, Trumpeter are the most exciting company around at the moment. If all these models live up to what has been coming recently, we are in for a treat.
Im just picturing the 4 x T34s sitting on my (big) shelf. Hopefully somebody will jump on the band wagon and get some figures to go with these. Also a the morsar and rail transport is mouth watering.
I know Vince Wai sculpted the figures for their Leopold ....... I wonder if he has gotten any offers for this??

I know this is ARMORama but the most exciting thing on here for me is the 1/350th USS Lexington. THAT is going to be a great looking kit. Maybe they're continue with some other WWII carriers, like Japanese and British ones, then move on to some overlooked WWII Battleships. Dare I say it, a Warspite or Hood? Oh one can only dream.

I agree with PlasticBattle, Trumpeter IS the most exciting model company out there right now. I also agree with Dave, oh my aching bank account.

I love the idea of having the Karl Morser on it's transporter. It would go well with the Leopold gun that I'm hoping to buy really soon!

I have a King Tiger in R/C, and the trumpeter shouldn't be that hard to make R/C, all you really have to do is add some radio gear, and some tamiya gearboxes, and you have a 1/16th T-34 in R/C!

You have to admit that Trumpeter has come a long way in a very short while....I can't wait to see some of these kits hit the market...HMMM an LCM on the back of my Dragon Wagon....I can see it now....I just hope that they take their time and do them right ....One thing I don,t like that much about the company is that they bring out this great big list of kits they want to do till the year 2005 or what ever and I'm sure other companies get discouraged about bringing out kits...I wonder if they are not just scaring other companies away from certain subjects....Maybe Tamiya wanted to bring out a 1/32 scale Corsair but when they saw that Trumpeter annouced one two years before it came out ... They just never bothered... Do others see this as a scare tactic too or is it just my imagination??
