I'd love to see more modern (1970s and upward) South African armor in styrene. Takom has started with the Rhino, but we need Ratel, Buffel, Casspir...


What about thier version of the Centurion called the olifant?

Is anyone else getting tired of Tigers , Panthers , Sherman ? we need some new fresh kits from the major manufacturers ! Dragon, Tamiya !! Especially in the WW 2 venue !


fully agree with you on the Tigers and Panthers really how many do you need at least with the Sherman you can build sub varients of all the varients but eventually that gets boring too

I'd recommend that you take a look at MiniArt and Amusing Hobby kits. They are very nice and they have some very unique offerings.

Shermans never get boring. Unless an absolute Shermanoholic you have barely scratched the surface.

I have built just about every Sherman possible from the T6 Sherman prototype all the way up to the m51 isreali sherman

Well then, you're the exception. You're excused.

Though in all likelihood you haven't done any US Army Reserve component post-war tanks.

How does a couple of M48A5 Pattons sound?
I tend to stay with building active duty components due to the markings are more abundant You name the vehicle chances are I

M4A1E8, M4A1E9, M4A3 75mm (Dry, re- manufactured with reinforced engine doors) M4A3E8 76 mm with big full-color armored division insignia on them that the 50th AD wore 1946-52. There were different styles of insignia and placement for M4A3 versus M4A1 hulls. I like doing New Jersey Army National Guard markings because it's something no one does or really even thought of.

No one makes markings for the stuff I want to do. Fortunately I'm a graphic artist and can create my own artwork. Need to since by the time the NJ Guard got to M48A5 and M60A3 they were very creative with their personal markings. Give a guy some sidewalk chalk...

The only kit that I'm looking for is a Daimler mk 1 or mk 2 because that's what my dad drove in 45. I'd just like to make one for him before he goes.
