You know what would be cool ? Take that gorgeous 37mm and repop their LVT asa Mk 2 with the 37 mounted aft. These were seen in New Guinea and the Phillipines

Hi Guys,
The issue of the 40mm is long overdue and will be a very welcome addition. The Staghound coupled with Bronco's Humber great - finally some affordable British Armoured Cars.
Might we see a Bedford QLB to tow it :-) :-) :-) now that and a new 15cwt or evenb a re-released one would make my day.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Yip, I think this will be a popular kit. It could be used by Axis troops as well as they must have captured enough of them.
