Well how about this Pickel....
I was all set to order two and Everett told me He'd get back to me.... Never happened.

Re: What is most the Wanted 1/18th Scale Armor project ?
To complement what I already have, I would have to agree with normandy and go with the Stug. Being realistic though, it will probably be a bit out of my price range. I still hope to one day work up the hobby budget to get a Pickle T-34/85.
Right now, what I would actually go for over a plane or armour would be a line of 1:18 WWII weapons and accessories. While I'm hesitant to purchase a tank for $350, I'd be willing to spend good money for these in 1:18: G41, FG42, PPSh 41/42, MP35, Kar 98k Scoped/grenade cup/bayonet, Mkb 42, Vampyr STG 44, trench guns, glasses, ponchos, and so many more little things. I understand that the cost of making these would probably outwiegh the profits, so I doubt any of these will come to reality. Fun to dream though.

From your list I still want the 251 backdate, but if we are going all pie in the sky, I would love to see a Cromwell in 1/18 or the M7 Priest

I would like to see a M36 Tank Destroyer. You can use the M10 hull and make a new turret.

Re: What is most the Wanted 1/18th Scale Armor project ?
I would love to see an M-5 Stuart sometime. I'm surprised 21c never made one, despite having models of the tank in 1:6 and 1:32 scale. It was widely used and is a neat little tank. Even if the detail was on the level of the 21c models, it would still be great.

Re: What is most the Wanted 1/18th Scale Armor project ?
As far as actual armor? M-18 Hellcat. Or has it been done? I think a Firefly has already been done
As far as vehicles: Dodge ambulance, Deuce-and-a-Half, Opel Blitz.
