If you guys can have only 1 armor this year... (1 Viewer)

[Warrior]

Or how about a Mark III N or M.......

 

[uksubs]

for me it got to be the British Comet tank

 

[Eazy]

I'm waiting for that XXX Corps Sherman Firefly for the Market Garden range.

You never know this might be the year!

 

[Warrior]

And last but not least, for Rod, Colin and all the other Eastern Front fans out there, an SU 100 and an ISU 152..........

 

[The Breaker]

My first choice would be the Jagdpanzer IV "Guderian's Duck" w/ the L/70 barrel.

Something simple like the Panzer IV or Panzer III with the spaced armor would be great.

It's just too much to ask for a Russian T-34 or a Cromwell.

 

[6th Wisconsin]

No. 1 - A running Sherman for the Bulge line.
No. 2 - A winter Panther
No. 3 - A winter Panzer IV
No. 4 - A winter Tiger

Hypothethical question -

if Andy decided to make just 1 tank this year, and asks for your opinion, which one will you recommend?

i'll go for the SDKfz 164 Nashorn.

I love the Nashorn and it would be a perfect complement to Figarti and KC's recent Italian Campaign releases.

Oh yes Warrior:

German armor is cool but Russian armor is down right MEAN LOOKING!

Will we ever see a manufacturer produce the "Great Patriotic War" on a wide scale, or in other words, will collectors demanded it be ready to put up some $$$$ for it?

I think I would like the elephant.

 

[desk11desk12]

Here's an off the wall request and will probably be produced in my next life time...."USA M15", not to be confused by as the M16 Halftrack. Love that Bofar AA GUN and twin 50 .cal MG's.

Very cool Carlos, and hey, with Andy and Rick, you never know . . .

 

[Cyber Field Marshall]

I'd like to see a late war German Mark IV long barrel in camo for Arnhem/Normandy/Eastern Front purposes as it was the "backbone" of the German armoured units and I think an essential addition to any WWII collector.
An early war German Mark III in field gray for the FOB line would be great too.
A long barrel STUG III.....oh I forgot only 1 choice........I never was very good with numbers!

Interesting choice Nasir. King and Country could re-use WS079 "Hummel". Swap the 88mm Pak43 in place of the 15cm howitzer and voila "Nashorn"

This really is a superb vehicle isn't it,its one of my favourites in my collection.

The Hummel was one of the first vehicles I bought.

Maybe in 2009 one of our fine manufacturers in the toy soldier world will produce some WWII Eastern Front sets, here's hoping..........

 

[Combat]

I'm sticking with the beast - the Russian JS-2. Hopefully with the mounted MG: http://www.battlefield.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32&Itemid=44&lang=en

well Frank, i hope if K&C does do the Nashorn, it will be a new sculpt, as the WS079 Hummel's size and tracks still niggles at me.

I like the Nashorn as even though it lacks protection for its crew (even from the weather), its 88mm gun makes it a long distance hunter, and (in my recollection) is the only german armour recorded to have knocked out a Pershing.

 

[Warrior]

I hope a manufacturer considers some of these items so you 1/30th scale collectors can do similiar displays as I do with the 1/72nd scale items...............

 

[Warrior]

Yes, it certainly would be nice........
