Interesting! the T17E1 Tracked Transport Wagons & Carriage M1/M2 only make sense with if the 240 mm howitzer M1 is also on the cards?
They do one already. But it needed and will receive improvement.
“Late Production”? They built two T93s.

One early
and
one late
makes two in total
I believe they were completed about three weeks apart . . .
And it wasn’t “production” - they were prototypes. The Limited Procurement orders, if you want to call that production, were cancelled.
First and Second Prototypes would be accurate, IF there were any differences between the two.

Perhaps in their way of thinking, it’s “late” compared to the T92, which I hear may also be in the works. I’d rather have an "incorrect word in the name, than mulitiple inaccuracies in the kit.
I missed a memo - do they do the 240mm M1? And if so, where/how do I get one? A search for Zim Model returns a lot of links to very fine African women…
Try Zimi Model instead …

It’s “Zimi” not Zim, so that’s probably the first issue. Do a search for Zimi Model and their site will come up, as well as the Scalemates listing. The M1 is in the list, but it has not been released yet.
That makes sense! Now anyone have info about these products? Are they resin or plastic?
There has been talk that some of them may previously have been in boxes
with a cute black-n-white bear logo and the contents of those boxes was styrene.
If the two things were mutually exclusive, sure, but sadly they aren’t.
It’s not an inaccuracy, just meaningless, and it causes one to wonder what they are thinking.
I’ve long said that you can’t judge a kit by the boxart and one must really wait until plastic is in hand before coming to conclusions about the item. That applies here, too.

Just when I thought that these were vaporware announcements from 2023…
How soon till we get them? I have my wallet out and ready!
Rick
wernt they sent to Europe as part of the Zebra mission along with the M26 Pershing and the M40 gun motor carriage
Interesting. If they’re just repopping other kits, as some have suggested, I have to wonder where this came from.
Nope, they weren’t finished until July/September 1945.

I wish their web site was in English not sure if its Chinese or Japanese the but currency marker says yen
