Title: Any chance of a revamped Honey?
Post by: Heedless Horseman on 03 July 2016, 12:01:16 AM
The Grant has been revamped to a better suspension...BUT WHY NO SKIRTS? (Grant nearly always wore skirts in the Desert...Lee went free!)  ;)

Anyway...the PenD Honey looks great above the suspension... turret does not suffer squashed syndrome but, overall, model has that 'stood on' look.
Any revamp with heightened suspension...with sandskirts...in the pipeline?

Also...the Crusader could well do with a remodelling...turret and skirts just look wrong. Have seen a Japanese resin 1/144 Crusader II that looks fantastic...(would match Takara panzers)...but so is the cost!  :(

Keep up with the good work, anyway!   :)

We'll be revamping all of the Sherman variants over the rest of the year, so the Honey will be in there to be done.

Honey isn't a Sherman, it's an M3...

And much smaller.

Memo to self, sell Leon "50 famous tanks", he might recognise them then.

Based on another current forum topic, apparently Techno won't be revamping HIS honey!

Yeah, I get that...  :D  I thought they shared the suspension/running gear from the Shermans, so would be in that batch of revamps, but I've checked and realised it's not the same track setup. 

Which unfortunately means I'm sure when they'll be getting done.  They were definitely on the list, so they will get the treatment at some point, I'll have to chat with Dave and see where we're fitting them in.
