Now i know Harry will (in the style of the Simpsons Montgomery Burns) 'Unleash the Hounds' on me for this,but is there really a large demand for Italian Tanks???.If i was world Toy Soldier Dictator i would release loads more Brit/US/German even Russian Tanks first,Italian Tanks come only slightly above Japenese in my book.Let the backlash begin.........

Well, there's a big demand for Italian tanks from me....and I have the K&C Japanese one.

I've got it - I'm completely out-of-step with everyone else in the hobby in the sense that I like the more obscure and unusual FAV's, such as the Vickers and Renault 35, and would prefer to get the chance of collecting similar tanks to these instead of blindly following down well-beaten paths - Correct?
How many more Shermans, Tigers, Panthers, PzIV's do we need - not enough, apparently.
No offense intended to lovers of the more common tanks the manufacturers offer. This is a serious post. And I do have two Sherman, a Tiger, a Panther and two PzIV's in my collection.
I'm not suggesting that unusual tanks from the early war period would be commercially viable - I'd just like to have the choice.

Cheers

I think you actually make a serious point here H,i think it would be good to see some of the lesser known WW2 Tanks produced.I'd love to see some of Hobarts funnies made,i'm still hopeful the big three will hit a British streak over the next couple of years.My only problem with Japenese or Italian Tanks is that i like to have a mix of Tanks/figures in my collection,and as i have no Italian/Japenese troops they would be pretty alone.
