There are a number of 6mm vehicles waiting to be upscaled to 15mm, of which the largest is the Komodo heavy tank. I&#8217;ve pretty much done the 3D work for this and thought I&#8217;d preview it to whet your appetites. To keep down the cost (and weight !) the hull and skirt will be a one piece resin casting which will become our largest 15mm vehicle, just edging out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/15mmSF\/Mercenary%20Brigade\/SF15-1502.html\">Sohei<\/a>. The turret has gained a four-round point-defence missile launcher at the turret rear and the styling matches that of the existing PacFed vehicles. Release should be sometime in January next year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4736\"
