what you miss for Normandy?

I'm still hoping to make a diorama of Carentan so in order to do that I need some FJs. Right now thats all that is on my wish list with the exception of more 101st or 82nd which has already been confirmed will not be happening anytime in the near future.

I'm in total agreement with you Sahara.

FJS with panzerschrecks

1) A US 105mm howitzer and crew - standard artillery for every US infantry division - our guys couldn't have fought in Normandy without them.

2) A CCKW-352 "short wheelbase" GMC 2 1/2 ton truck - the prime mover for above and never done in a mass-produced model (the ones so far are the CCKW-353 cargo trucks)

3) M10 in Normandy colors - standard self-propelled TD until the arrival of the M18 in late summer

4) A US halftrack personnel carrier - M3A1 type - the standard APC in Europe

5) British 6-pounder AT gun with a) US paratrooper gun crew (the US airborne used the British version as it fit gliders better) b) a "Red Devil" gun crew or c) a regular British gun crew

6) US infantry 60mm mortar team - the company commanders' personal artillery

7) A mid-production M4 (welded hull) or an M4 with the Detroit Tank Arsenal "composite" hull (welded hull with cast upper hull front). The "composite" could also be issued with different turret and stowage as a British Sherman Hybrid iC "Firefly".

8) an M7 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage, nicknamed "Priest" by the British forces. Andy has already done the proper tracks and bogies with the recent Sherman.

9) A US 7.5 ton heavy wrecker M1A1 - big old truck with cool details. Never before done and a real eye catcher!

10) A US 240mm howitzer with crew. The German guys are always asking for their big guns, etc. No way it will get built, but it's fun to think about it.

I'll stop now, but I could go on ALL night.

A Pak 43 for me.

There is definitely a disproportionate ammount of armor to artillery in what is available across the board for WWII.

 

[panda1gen]

And a disproportionate lack of Commonwealth anything in terms of non-special forces - some PBI and armour please? Bren and six pounder? Bofors?

Yep Tommy infantry with Mortar/mg team,fighting in the bocage.

I get the feeling we might get some British Infantry in the Market Garden range to go along with that elusive Sherman Firefly.

aah it's good to dream but you never know....

Do you know, you are the 19th bloke today that has asked for this, we don't have it, there is just no demand (1970's cold ******* advert)
