For me an M26 Pershing in the markings of the "Hell on Wheels" or "Spearhead" Divisions (I'd make a diorama of it blowing the turret off a Panther in front of a ruined cathedral).

You want the 3rd Armored Division. The 3rd AD got ten of the first 20 T26E3s in Europe (the other 10 went to 9th Armored Div and a platoon saw action at the seizure of the bridge at Remagen). The 3rd was fighting in Cologne. The 2nd Armored didn't get their Pershings until the next batch arrived.

(My "one tank" vote goes for an M24 Chaffee - I just like those little beasts)

General Grant Tank.......wanted a Lee, but figured it might get disqualified ,since it was made once.......Michael

I wondered when the General Grant would show up.Classic allied tank for the Western desert.Question is who is going to make one first?

Rob

 

[Capitolron]

I think we can still hold out hope for a new Lee Tank - Andy, remade the Sherman - he could still remake the Lee Tank too? Right? Hopefully? Maybe?

I would rather see HB make a CROMWELL, CRUSADER an' a MK1 MATILDA.

How about one of those mock tanks seen on old propaganda newsreels that the Germans used for training purposes? You know the one, a cardboard tank stuck onto a bicycle.....Could even be offered in real cardboard for that authentic touch instead of polystone.

What about those cool mini-tanks and trucks the 8th Army used at El Alemein to decoy the German forces South. They worked on the principal that from a recon aircraft in the desert, where there is nothing to establish scale, a half sized army looks like the real thing.

 

[eborris]

I saw that clip, the Panther blew the leg off the Sherman tank commander and he bled to death, then the Pershing blew the Panther tank commander in half.
