John, first the M7 is NOT the Sexton- there are quite a few differences. Second, I don't think any Sextons saw action in North Africa. There WERE M7 "Priests" there. The M7s and the M4A1 Shermans were such a priority for Eigth Army that the 1st Armored Division was stripped of them to send to Monty. That's why, when the 1st Armored went to Tunisia there was still one battalion of an armored regiment still using M3 "Lees".

What you want for North Africa (US or British) is an early production M7 with the "Lee" suspension and the shallow MG pulpit (there were three production batches of M7 "Priests, each with differences).

John:

I just dug up my e-mail to Andy early 2005 and his response (attached) Most of my request have been produced (the latest is the M3 Scout Car), except where he specifically said no. So far he's been true to his word. Still waiting for one more...which could be the 2006 surprise-an Opel Blitz Truck. Also, to my surprise he produced an M21 HT instead of the M3Personnel Carrier...which was great!

Shoot him a personal e-mail instead of through the forum. Let me know what his response is. I like your list.
