What should the next armor project.

I am bored so it is time for another poll.

I have talked to all of the guys who said that they may want all of the armor I can make so here is the compiled list.

These are on my list of armor to build.There is a lot on my plate now so one of these will be made I would say next month. That is if I ever get caught up. Not counting what I have in the works now. 3 of these could be made before I switch back to aircraft. Unless there is more demand for armor. :wink:

The M-10 and Firefly will be after the flak gun.

The Brummbar and Hummel I really want to do but the Panzers are getting thin. I could cast the whole bottom chassy and running gear to have on hand because they are hard to get now.

Thoughts on this ?

I am still for the 222 to be next, it is something different that no matter what has really never been done before. I love tracked armor (ask the Hun) but a little variety and something new is refreshing.

Oh and Heck Yeah to a Hummel. - Jagtiger is cool but maybe a wait and see if JSI gives us the King Tiger for the running gear is in order.

As neat as the M3 tank destroyer would be, I'm still pining for a 222.

If you can pull it off the Hellcat and the Stewart would be Home Runs in my book. An M48 Gulf War upgrade would be an easy kit to make for someone with your skill-set and there are plenty of cheap Pattons available.
