Ana, just remember to tell your boyz that no one has made a proper 1/30 scale Tiger yet :)

Don't forget Otto:

http://www.achtungpanzer.com/gen4.htm

When Carius' Tiger No.217 was about to enter the village, two T-34/85 tanks were observed rotating their turrets. At this moment, Kerscher's Tiger No.213 which followed Carius at about 150m, fired and knocked them out. Also for the first time, Otto Carius encountered Russian's latest JS-1 (or possibly JS-2) heavy tank. Its silhouette was somewhat similar to the German King Tiger and Carius was confused at first but after hesitating a bit, he fired and JS-1 burst into flames. Afterwards, Otto Carius recalls that the entire battle did not last more than 20 minutes. In such a short time, Carius and Kerscher's Tigers knocked out 17 Russian tanks including the new JS-1. Although the Russians were attacked by suprise, Carius' quick and accurate recognition of the situation and the excellent tactics used were the main factors in the outcome.

I hope it's at the top of the list Ana ;) :D

I'm sure the boyz will like this link as it's full of pictures of Tigers. It also has plenty of pictures and information on the Tiger's engine, suspension etc: http://www.alanhamby.com/tiger.html

The photos clearly show how HUGE this vehicle was compared to the crew members.

There is also a list of Tiger Aces, other Links etc.

Adding my two cents:How about the British Firefly,it is long overdue and would be most welcome

Ana,
I know it's late in the game but, are aircraft out of the question? I was always impressed with the k&c resin cast aircraft. A FW-190 would offer a very unique item with endless variations and pilot combos?

I think the same thing can be said about Honour Bound that we have been saying about K&C. The quality is high, the ownership is accessible, and, frankly, whatever they choose to produce next, I am sure that we, the collectors, will be more than happy to snap it up.

I had never intended to buy anything not produced by K&C, and now I have found myself buying Figarti and Honour Bound products, because they are just that good. So kudos to Anna, Rick, Andy and their teams.

My name is Louis Badolato, and I am a toy soldier addict. Screw the 12 step program, I like it this way!
 
Sorry, Ray, no aircraft for the moment. But you'll be the first to know if we change our mind.:)

Oz: thank you for the link. It's a great website!

For me it would be;

Firefly
Comet
Grant
Ferdinand
Stug III
Sherman Caliope.

I'll second Combat's choices. JS2 would be especially nice since K&C's Berlin stuff is still fresh.

I'm a particular fan of early Tigers as well. Lenningrad, Rostov, Tunisia. We need a drum cupola on the market.

One very uniqe item would be the StuIG33b used at Stalingrad. Very mysterious weapon at that battle as it was committed just days before the encirlclement. But some nice photos just appeared in a book by Jason Mark.

Another idea is a KV-2 & 88 Flak from Barbarossa. Have the KV-2 with a plethora of dents from sub-88 ammo, and the killing blow from the 88. Can find details of that battle from Raus' book.
 
Hey, I like that idea. You can even complement it with the Germans burying the Russian crew with full honors for putting up such a valiant fight
 
There has been some awfully strange and wonderful worms coming out of this Can!
