New Armor

Post by Quixote511 » Fri May 18, 2007 6:41 pm

Lets take bets on what the new armor piece will be:

I say it will be a Priest
Aaron

While I'd love to have a Priest or M-24, I'm thinking it's a White Scout Car. :lol:

or to carry the partial rebuilt idea forward, how about a White half-track mounted 75mm tank destroyer, or the M-15 AA version of the White half-track (with the 37mm AA gun and two companion .50 cals).

My cup runnith over.........since it's armor and hasn't been discussed before (and going along with HUGE...i.e. B-25), how about an armored Pacific tank transporter(to carry our Shermans).. :shock:

TTT.

I still say that a Pacific Marine AMTRAC with the Stuart turret on top would be sweet. And you could play with it in the bathtub!

we will see the half track with 75 MM, Priest, Sherman repaint of something used in North Africa, and finally the M3 Grant will be Christmas 2008 with more to come.

I still wonder why no M5 Stuart in 1/18. They made a 1/32 and a 1/6. Its not like they don't have plans to go by. Slide them into the copier and press either 50% or 200% depending on what scale they are using.

LOLLLL!!! :lol: :lol: That's so funny.... so true, but still funny. Personally, I would love to see the Stuart in 1:18, I think it would a great piece.

A Greyhound is a great idea. Actually 21C can make the two versions with the same body, the M8 and the M20.

I'd really like to see a Pershing to do battle with the already memtioned release of the KT.

An armored AMTRAK for our Marines witb the M3 Stuart turret would be nice also. Then 21c could make the full M3 Stuart, or the M5 Stuart...nobody but us wpould know the difference in the turrets o/n the AMTRAK. :wink:

i would say it's an 8 ton halftrack to complement the soon to be released 88. Not much use including the tow wheels with the 88 if there's nothing to tow it. :wink:

A T-34 we'll see next year i think..

(and yes i know the 8t halftrack isn't 'armour' per se, but it's a militay ground vehicle and that's close enough to call it armour)
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

I would love to see a 8-ton half-track come out so I could haul some of my gerrys around in style. 8) Then we could all recreate the ending of the dirty dozen..woo-hoo!!! This is as much fun as playing that game of "what if I hit the lotto." :D

The big Famo German half-tracks were not armored when used as a prime mover.

If I keep repeating it, maybe I'd believe it. Hell, I'd take one, or a T-34 or T-34/85....or...anyhing new to our display shelves. :roll:

Here's an idea, perhaps the new armour could be a PAK40 halftrack. Naw its not likely, too much to ask for.

I was thinking it would be the SdKfz 251/22, too. It has only been what, the better part of the year since they first revealed it in its S1 paint scheme?

New field piece ?

Post by MG-42 » Sun May 20, 2007 5:17 am

I'd say it's not a vehicle at all , but a new artillery field piece to compliment the PAK-40 and 88 , but U.S. though , like a "Howitzer" or something. :wink: + = 8)
