The vehicle is actually an M31 (also refered to as T2) Tank Recovery Vehicle, based on the M3-series "Lee" versus the Sherman. It was used to recover Shermans from 1943 until the end of the war. The sample shown at Chicago was quite accurate and a nicely done model.
At first Rick sounded like he wasn't sure if this would be produced but I think the response from the guys at Chicago convinced him to do them, we just need to wait for him to get them produced. The other tanks, the "Lee" and "Grant" gun tanks had several figures with them, but the M31 didn't have any shown, so we may have to be patient while figarti comes up with figures. Figarti has high quality and I'm not going to rush the boys - I've been wanting an M31 for some time and I'll wait for a nice one!
