That's what I say! Although I do own several German items (the one thread about kits you own will reveal that), I have those at the request of my younger brother. However, in German WWII defense, I probably would've wound up buying the Tamiya KT (Henschel type) anyway.

Shame, oh shame Joe, going over to the gray side. :-) Just kidding, I know your heart is in the right place. After all you're showing it knocked out or captured, like every good German item should be. Are you going to try to model it after Winters and his men blew the barrel up?

I also agree with you on the 17 pounder. Of course I'd also like to see a good injected plastic 2 pound, 6 pounder, American 37mm and 57mm as well, as long as we're wishing for things.

possibly, however the barrel is aluminium, so i might not be able to do it too well, also most of the figures i have already or am planning to use are in firing poses, so i was going to display the moment when they had taken the gun pit. i also want a couple of dead germans too,

cheers

The good thing about an injected plastic 35th scale 37mm US anti-tank gun is that it would be just as effective as the originals against the big kitties... #:-)
