Favorite tank model?

I was wondering what 1:18th scale tank model you guys like the best. For some reason, I really like the 21st Century M41 Walker Bulldog tank. It just looks so cool to me, and it looks great from just about any angle. What are your favorites?

I would like to see a King Tiger, no a Royal Tiger, no a Tiger 11, no a Tiger Ausf. B, no a Koenigstiger, one of those anyway. There was a hint once that 21st Century were going to do this in 1/18, but it never eventuated. It would have been a great addition to our stable of 1/18, too bad it was never released.

If we get to include tanks that never were actually produced in 1:18 then I vote for the JS-II Stalin, it would make an awesome XD model IMO. Now back to reality.... of those that have already been released I think I like the Panzer IV best, specifically the long barreled version, partly from an aesthetic point of view, and partly because the Pz. IV was the most widely used German tank of the war.

I can't say just one tank, but if I was to say one allied and one Axis tank, I could do it
As for the Axis, I like the Tiger I or the Kongstiger( if we ever see them
) And for the Allies, I liked the Pershing tank. Doubt we'll ever see that one in 1/18th. The manufacturers MUST make something else other than Shermans. I'm so tired of Shermans I think the next video clip I do I think I'll blow one up just for the heck of it
as if the Tigers punched a hole thru the ammo storage.
I hope to do a "What if" German tank, kinda like the US Teddy tank. It will be a beefed up Tiger one with more armour, a little MG-42 turret on top of a modified version of the Tiger turret which will be enlarged to house TWO 88mm AT cannons, side by side
This tank I will classify as a LION tank
I will have to do a build log on it

Right now, I would say the Tiger 1, although the M41 is a close second. The details, including the interior, are a major plus for me.

Of what's actually been released, I like the M48 best.

My favorite would have to be the Tiger, tied with the M-41. I really can't make up my mind between the two. The M-41 does indeed look good from any angle, but so does the Tiger
I also really like the new FOV 1:18th scale M1 Abrams in the desert scheme. The weathering is fantastic and with a couple of the tanker figures in the turret, the tank looks amazing!
The BBI Sherman would be next on my list.
I know this is a bit off topic, but the 21c Sherman, the 21c M113, and the BBI LAV are my least favorite tanks. Don't get me wrong as they are great vehicles, just they are not up to the best standards in stock condition. My M113 looked much better after I replaced the stowage, and the 21c Sherman can be made up well with a different paintscheme.

Same here. The tiger tank was the best tank model so far. I love the details, the removable tower and the interior. I wish the new King Tiger would be done in this style.

1. Panther with ambush camo
2. Tiger II if it ever arrives. Then that will probably be #1
3. T-34 or Kv-1 if ever.

BBI Sherman and Tiger I. Jagdpanther will zoom past those two if it ever materializes.
