Open lettre to the 1/32° manufacturers (1 Viewer)

[General Custer]

Please diversify your production! Enough Tigers, Panthers, Sherman and other Panzer IV!

WW2 is however fertile in tanks in all kinds! We want original models, we need KV-1, JS III and ISU152, Churchill, Crusader and Comet, M10 Destroyer ...

And if you want to make profitable models already existing, Nasshorn and Hummer can be made on the basis of your PzKfw4, Sturmtiger on that of Tiger I, etc..

And then , the history of the armoured production is not limited to WW2! Thus... Centurions, Chieftains and Conquerors! M60A1 and M103! T54 and T62! AMX50 and Leclerc!

I have to agree there a lack of British WW2 armour
Fov 2008 range is well boring & it looks like there coping what being made already by other companys
What make me laugh Germany never had loads of tanks in WW2 , say about 400 working tanks on all fronts for each year , but all we get is loads of German tanks

I agree, if the makers want to produce more repaints because they make a profit, then they should make more repaints. But, why not make new releases that are not repaints. I agree about missing British and Soviet armour. Maybe some soft skinned vehicles or some of the more rare German and US armour would be good sellers too.

 

[General Custer]

And Porsche Tiger, too. As you can see:

this two beasts were definitely different!

 

[Col.Pickle]

Some Russian vehicles are looong overdue. 21st has released Russian figs why not a tank to go with them?

 

[General Custer]

Right! 21st has released 2 sets of British figs , too, and never British tank!

 

[woodenwarriors]

I have to agree with you all . Russian armour would be great along with some Japanese tanks. A little more selection would be nice but I still thank God and the company for the ones they do create Keep up the good work

I would also love to see some Italian vehicles. Some of those mini tanks, and maybe that great armored car the Saharina.

 

[Al Fisher]

Anything but Russian or German armor . . . WW1 A/Cs and motor transport would be a nice departure from the trite stuff being repeated by numerous manufacturers. True, there are some WW1 vehicle manufacturers out there such as TAW (back again), Fuslier, and perhaps Trophy, but the cost is prohibitive.

I beginning to think I was the only person on the forum with an interest in Japanese Tanks. Thanks for revising this topic again .
I would like add pre 1941 Armored Cars to the want list. The Japanese used several types of Armored Cars in their early assault on China. Most of these cars were made by Rolls Royce some by Ford.

Yeah !! Japanese armored cars would be so coool!

Here is a picture of what I had to resort to for a Japanese Tank built it out of wood. I am sure KC makes a Japanese tank but would not fit in my budget. I know Classic makes a CHI HA tank but to small. Any other japanese tanks out there ?

Dont ask why a german is beside a Japanese Tank

 

[Col.Pickle]

I'm pretty sure Figarti makes one in 1/30 scale.

 

[General Custer]

Unfortunately don't find any FIGARTI tank on eBay, and michtoy.com only a Stuart and an US LVT(A)-1...

 

[Steven Chong]

I'm pretty sure Figarti makes one in 1/30 scale.

Figarti made the Japanese Type 1 Chi Ha tank in 1/32 scale (J3207). Their website does not show it retired so you can ask Treefrog if they still can get it.

 

[General Custer]

Unfortunately all FIGARTI items seems retired from Treefrog!

 

[Peter Reuss]

Alas, the Chi Ha is retired and we're sold out.

Hobby Bunker still seems to have a Stuart that the Japanese captured and painted their way. Doesn't look like they have the Chi Ha either, but you could check with them to see.

 

[Peter Reuss]

Treefrog is committed to the Figarti line. We are only clearing out some old items. Stock is quite limited on many of the items.

Note that none of the newer stuff is on sale (nor will it be).

 

[General Custer]

21st has released Italian figs, too, why not a tank to go with them?
