I wonder if any of you out there are like me, waiting for support vehicles. I was thinking along the lines of an opel radio truck, a bedford lorry, maultier or anti aircraft vehicles like an 8-ton semi aa, 1-ton demag aa or such . Any ideas that could spur andy into action let me know.

Perhaps we could ask hime to review the 1942 film" The Forman Goes To France" starring Gordon jackson -This might give him the inspiration to look at support vehicles.

Actually K&C does pretty good on "soft skins" for a toy soldier company. For the US we have had AA halftrack, two versions of the 2 1/2 ton truck, the 3/4 wepons carrier, 3/4 ton ambulance, Harley-Davidson motorcycle, DUKW, M5 artillery tractor, M26 recovery tractor, and multiple jeeps. The Brits have had less but not bad in proportion to British subjects done. The Germans had had artillery prime mover halftracks, Opel Blitz truck, Kubelwagens, Schwimwagens, etc. There is always room for more but I think K&C has done pretty well by the support vehicles in general.

No doubt andy has done a good job, i am just thinking for 2009 that he could do a few more. I think they have also got some key german armored vehicles to do like a mark iv h, marder mid 43 version, wespe, puma, jagdpanzer iv long barrel, and of course a jagdtiger. I am sure we are bound to see a couple of these these this year.
