	Actually, I've seen one of the tank models, and it was quite
nice.
It was wheeled, if I recall correctly.	We do some 20mm post-holocaust
roleplaying on occasion, and it seemed perfect for that.  However,
thinking
about it now, that was almost a year ago, at an open house that one of
our
distributors held, and I have yet to see the model appear, or even be
solicited.  There may have been a problem of some sort--you might want
to
check with Rafm.  The howitzers are out, and worth a look.  They seem a
bit
big to me, but since I'm going to use them with my NSL figures, I don't
mind
that a bit.
