I don't think I have a Top 5 in subjects - but - I'd say my favorites are US AFV's in service from 1945 to 1965. Why? Someone's gotta love 'em - might as well be me!

At the moment it is probably the last 5 I have built.
M32
M7 priest
M4A1
JSIII
Panther D
If I was asked 4 months ago it would have been totally different and if Im asked in 4 months time it will probably be another list.
The M7 priest may still lurk in there though!
