JS2 I think this tank is a real killer and should be made by someone.Simmo.

Huh? No BT2?

Given the absence of this landmark in Russian armour development with it's Christie running gear - as also incorporated in the British Crusader - I voted for the KV2 monster.

Here's a good book that might interest guys like RH and a few others here.

And a good DVD website for various tanks;

Huh? No BT2?

Good suggestion but lets see if someone will make a mainstream Russian tank first. If it sells, we can move on to the BT which is an historically important AFV.

You are missing an interesting option; the US Sherman! The Soviets received THOUSANDS of M4A2 medium tanks - 75mm early hull, 75mm late hull, 76mm versions, and even the M4A2E8 with wide tracks. These were in many units all the way to Berlin and into Manchuria. You might be able to get Figarti interested in an M4A2. The diesel M4A2 was not a standard tank in US Army service but the 75mm version was used by the British, by the USMC, the Soviets and by the Free French.

Same answer as for Harry. T-34 would be a remake in a much higher quality than the original which I don't have. And Russian Shermans and Churchills would likely be made only if a Russian armour series is doing well

Market consideration:

KV1: that's going to be (probably) by FL, so my fear is that people would wait for that one instead since it's going to be tailor made for an existing huge line

KV2: an abandoned one would work well with K&C's old classic Wehrmacht line, but that line has been gone for a long time now & is hard to come by for the newer collectors

T34/76: same as KV1

T34/85: nice, but I'd rather have something different & biggerer

SU85: same as above

Sherman: sweet idea but the potential problem is that Figarti would probably like to have a master they could use for Pacific as well, and their Pacific line is 1/32

The logical choice to me is an add on to the Berlin line, of which a JS-2 or JSU-152 might be snazzy. A KV-2 would be my second choice for my old classic Wehrmacht, but I not sure it could stand on it's own for people who dont' have the earlier figs & won't pay the premiums for them

Hopefully all three get made [wishing]. I have the old k+c su85 +T34 they are great as well as the Berlin T34 one of the best. The Russian armour is excellent

the js2 for me.
a solid rival for even the Tiger, and a potent bunker buster.
in my opinion, the key to the soviet drive to berlin.

Another promising looking upcoming title from Waldemar Trojca. The "Technical and Operational History" series have consistantly been excellent.
