Speaking of rumors (this is the correct thread for this) Tongde is reportedly developing an M24 Chaffee light tank.
It's a small tank, 16'9" versus a Panzer III at 18'3". That would pose some challenges to fit everything in. Hopefully they won't make it over scale like the Bradley. Anyway, I wasn't really enthused about it as a subject, "ho hum, olive green". But a little browsing yielded this!
Now this is worth painting!
Twenty six tanks, and not done yet!

No affiliation, blah, blah, blah, but it seems like Banggood has the M5A1 on preorder right now. It doesn't say preorder until you put it in your cart and try to pay.

Screen captures: Any math whizzes out there to calculate if this is near 1/16 scale?
Here's what's included (presumably).

I will compare to my classy hobby 1/16 kit that I RC’d.
I will say this, that picture shows the tank sitting way too high on its bogies, the bottom of the hull is nearly at the top of the wheels. It looks very obtuse. Scroll back a page and look at my model i posted. The Coolbank m5 is sitting wrong.RC tank parts and accessories I make

Very interesting. The website states estimated availability before May 12, free delivery sometime in June. It's actually an extensive webpage with many details. Worth a try, maybe. Anybody have good/bad experiences with Banggood?

BoolBand Wang seemed to have find a partner in Taiwan to make the tank. But there is no detail except the factory is in the Chenghai Industry zone. Competition is good. Besides, Taiwan manufacturer usually has much better quality control.
