11. Anti-Aircraft guns: Yes but not the saving private ryan version yet

What is the Saving Private Ryan version and what other types are there?

I'd be excited about a "plain" M3A1 APC. Each armored division had three battalions of armored infantry, plus there were several independent armored infantry battalions and the primary vehicle for them was the "plain jane" M3A1 personnel carrier. With fifteen armored divisions in action in the ETO by the spring of 1945 that means there were 2500-3000-ish APCs just moving infantry, plus the others assigned to engineer, armored artillery and tank units. A common vehicle that hasn't been available for quite a while.

I couldn't agree more and am at least as thrilled as you are to get the plain Jane M3A1, as I would be to get a plain Jane SdKfz 251 with troops.

Sounds like "MAYBE" to me !

Andy doesn't understand the ways of lobbying and Washington. You need to change your approach. You still have a few days before Chicago.

I know. Dress as a Seminole Indian so he can see how good the model will look.

You have to ask first - Indians may not like having their picture taken and may charge a fee
