I will second that proposal - a revamped Kangaroo with a bit more detail inside and out.  The Ram had an Artillery Obs version that saw action in France 1944/45, so it would be neat if they matched.

It always jars a bit when you put two contrasting models of the same subject on the table. 

Curious to know who decided to make a model of a RAM, a tank that never saw service, except as a training vehicle.

I feel a small sense of guilt/pride that I've been going on about it for months

They were used as OP vehicles in NWE though probably only the later version.

The idea is to redo the kangeroo, its easier to start with the basic tank to do more conversions and for completeness.  I do have 25 other masters awaiting more variations that we have not listed yet

I will in that case add it to the back order list.   There is  a lot of fun in gaming late war Western Front.   British tanks, if lacking armour, now have better guns,  the Kangaroo is  a very useful APC, and the Allied air superiority makes a level playing field of the Tigers and Panthers threat.  You also get a neat mix of infantry types amongst the Germans which keeps things interesting.

Those wouldn't include the Churchill I would they?

If you want more vehicles that never saw action why not make...

The Churchill Kangaroo? An APC with six inches of frontal armour.

The Black Prince, basically a Churchill with a 17pdr gun.

The Tortoise, badass assault gun with a 32pdr(?) main armament.

Oooh! Steeleye! You dirty talking track-head you!

I love it when you talk Churchill variants.
