Hi, apparently he is doing it in resin and in the process of painting it. There may be a chance he produces it in the form of kits, though I don't think it's an easy task. Someone with contacts can give a hand there... for what I read he is based on official specs and photographs, which are somewhat horrible (I have some) so I think it is a fantastic work as those ole tanks were all shamefully scrapped many years ago... it was shortly after WWII and US were sellign cheap Shermans,so this project died quickly. It's been often said it was based on the Sherman, and I guess it is obvious when youy look at the suspension and hull, but it was mostly an indigenous project. Interestingly, at the time, Argentine soldiers (1943) wore M35 German helmets.
By the way, Patricio del Fosse is well known to me (one of the people who post a message there) he had a fantastic web site with plenty of Argentine Army vehicles and AFVs...
