What should be the next WW2 1/18 aircraft and armor ?

Post by pickelhaube » Tue Dec 16, 2008 10:07 pm

OK first off NO A-10. That is another poll. If the major manf. of aircraft and armor were listenning what should be built next?

What should be the next WW2 aircraft ?

What should be the next WW2 piece of armor?

Everybody speak up. They won't know if you do not tell them. Forget about what you heard B-25 , Dauntles and the like . What would you think should be built ?

For planes I'd say they should focus on getting out a more difficult to find plane they already have made, or a repaint of a difficult to find plane...

For armor, I think a Stuart Tank would be the next thing I aimed at getting on the shelves. A T-34 would be nice if they ever did Russian figures, but without the figures the T-34 has less support I think. Get a Stuart out there or the KT out on shelves in real brick and mortar retail. Those seem like the logical steps forward for 21st.

1/18 ME-110 or HE-111. Something small with 2 engines.

Wished in one hand and crapped in the other hand. Guess which one filled up the fastest?

There was a recent post where one of the members had actually met with some exec's of one of the major companies. They asked him what we wanted and when he told them, they looked at him like he was crazy. I think thats how much attention they pay to what we want.

Not exactly sure what you mean about forgetting about a B-25. Thats what I want #1.
