If I were the "Man" that picked and choosed what subject that any plastic kit maker would model, life would be better. What if that "position" eh, "office" you would thumb through book after book and just randomly pick something that interested you and Bada Bing! There it is in kit form, Always correct out of the box no PE or individual track links or at least none with major pin marks ect. Wouldnt that be great! I have my list of subjects man! All I want is are some early US armor {pre Sherman} some early British armor/ armoured cars. Some late WWII British stuff. Some more US/British soft skins. How hard is that? I mean why do we have models of vehicals that never saw the light of day or very low production numbers? Yeah, Let's have all the bloc 2 and 3 Maus tanks, If I were the guy in the seat.

This subject has been brought up ad infinitum. I'd like to see more early US armor, updated M3 Lees, half-tracks, M2s, etc.
I'm a fan of early armor, especially US armor, but any of the 1940-42 vintage. If you haven't read the book An Army at Dawn by Rick Atkins. Good account of US forces in the beginning stages of the ground conflict in North Africa.

Behave you "wishing-willies".........you are going to have a lot of up-set people......they are going to read this and BINGO-.modelling stops because they will be "mythering" about .."what could be "..not "what is "
and result............nothing getting built .....no sales........no manufacturers.=nothing......SO...... we the "scratch -builders " ..will rule the modelling world..why....because we do it from-----NOTHING
Scratchies Rule
