I agree with TankCarl,

There was some awesome stuff around in the 50's, who does the 1/35th Centurion ?
Also I'd like to see the 6 wheeled Stalwart.

Some of the earlier German Panzers would be good OOB, i.e. the Panzerjager1 or the PzKpfw I with the SiG33 mounted might be nice (or do they already??)

Happy Xmas all (:-)

Oh yes, I agree with the previous sentiments, 1/35 scale Centurions, the M3 half-track series, etc.,etc...However, and herein lies the problem, they are going to sell more Tiger IIs than Stalwarts or Cents. or anything else. That is the nature of the business, they will keep producing what sells. Perhaps Academy is taking a risk producing an entire catalogue of TDs, I hope not, but the German stuff is the market-leader, we may not like it, but the market decides.....Jim

I think it's the Asian market that really matters. People there are nuts for the German stuff...

Steve, ditto your comments re. the Asian market, the European market goes berserk over German armor as well. Here in Spain, probably 90% of the armor kits sold are German vehicles, aviation- the same or even more.....Depressing thought.... JIm

Myself, I would like to see reissue of the M4A1 Sherman. I have never owned or built this kit.
