21st Century - Long Tom and Shermans (West Coaster Show) (1 Viewer)

[desk11desk12]

Hey guys,

I say the new USA Sherman Dozer, British Sherman Firefly and especially the new 150MM Long Tom Artillery sets. I was most impressed with the Long Tom and its towing rig, elevation and movable breech loader, It’s cool and it appears to be constructed from the ground up. It's not a "knock off" on the old Britains Long Tom released some years ago.

All of the hatches open on the Shermans. That was nice. I haven't any idea of what figures come with each set. Sorry about that, I forgot to ask and I didn't see any displyed with them.

Carlos, did they have them for sale, or were these protos?
If not for sale, any release time frame?

Gary,

They were not for sale, they were prototypes. However the Shermans will be released in April/ May time period and the Long Tom's not until July, August of this year.

That 155mm Long Tom looks SWEEEEET! I may have to sell of my Britains one once these become available.

Unfortunately the Shermans kept the same screwed up hull front as the previous production (Hatches WAY too big - throws other proportions off!). I am really looking forward to that dozer tank though.

This item looks like a real winner. The following pictures came from the 21st Century website.

Now come a Sherman Firefly, too.

However, I deplore that 21st Century Toys has returned to the plastic for a few months.
