I was wondering if theres any tank model out there that you all would like to see built? I want to build something that not alot of people have built or havent seen built yet. Ive seen alot of people do shermans and abrams and m113's, tigers and panzers. I dont want to do any of those, i want to be different, so do u have any ideas?

Hmm.....

M22 Locust
M5 Stuart - Yugoslav Conversion with Flakvierling
Some of the Italian Light Tanks would be nice
The STAGHOUND (though not a tank....still would be nice)

I'm sure I could go on forever with just some mild research on the web....but I'll stop now.

I would probably suggest some British WWII armor. Just thinking off the top of my head you don't see a lot of that at shows, at least not as much as German, Russian, or American.

I have one that almost no one builds that is actually a fairly nice model and can even be superdetailed if that is your thing: The RPM TK-3 or TKS Polish tankette. It is a rare little vehicle that the Germans encountered during their invasion of Poland in 1939. The kits are cheap and they actually go together quite well and Aber makes PE sets for them.

I'd like to see a 1/25 scale M1 series tank done with an interior, much like Tamiya's Tiger I. Jim Shirley did a resin M1A1 in 1/20 or 1/25 scale, but that thing was several hundred dollars when it was still in production.

I'd like it to be in plastic with some PE and aluminum (barrel).

hmmmm 1/35 Korean War Glosters Regt Centurion
1/35 Churchill AVRE (love that spigot mortar!)
1/35 Sherman Flail (maybe a whole load of Hobart's Funnies come to think of it)
that'll do for starters!

I just got Mirage's TKS-G15. Nice little toy, love the tracked trailer. The German's did all types of conversions and tests to the tankettes, incl rocket and panzerfaust conversions / tests, as with the bren carrier. Small vehicles almighty punch!

19Delta, how about the armoured trains, although not tracked they were tanks alright. You can do a review at the same time.

I think russian tanks are very interesting and rare built ( of course I'm not thinking about T-34). I'd be nice to see 1/35 ISU-122 or some SU-... models.

Hi. I would like to see Dragon or another company re-issue or issue the German E-100 and Maus tanks of World War II. I know Dragon had these out some time ago and I have always wanted to build these. I did have the Maus but it got destoyed in the last move we made.

Take care, sgirty

Tanks? Those were not tanks more like mobile Pillboxes. Impressive though!

19Delta -- You may need to specify exactly what type of answer you are looking for here. I and a few others have read what you asked as: "I am going to build a model, what would you guys like to see me build?" Another group of folks have read you question as: "What vehicles would you like to see the manufacturers make a plastic model of for us to build?"

Savage -- I haven't seen that kit (TKS-G15). I have the TK-3, TKS (w/ air-cooled MG), TKS (prototype w/ water-cooled MG), TKS (w/ 20mm cannon), and TK-SD (w/ 37mm cannon). How is the molding on the tracked trailor?
