Small Scale Military Headquarters

Which should All-GO produce first.

A-10......aircraft sell better than armor and the proceeds from the aircraft sells could bring the Kingtiger....

King Tiger...been waiting for that for sometime now.

A-10 will not sell enough to make a profit for sure.

If done right and priced right it will......just like any armor.....

If the A-10 goes the same route as the Passion Wagon then next up should be the KT. After all they should give the armor folks a chance at something new too even if it tuns out to be a no-show.

Same goes for the A-10 for many here. Without a good aircraft subject to start things rolling for All-Go, I'll bet the chances of new armor is nil. The A-10 could be the door to the King Tiger.

I would have to disagree, the Kingtiger could go on the market at less than a $100.00 easy, putting it in a postion to sell well, if Heng Long can sell a 1/16 RC tank under $100.00 surely ALL-GO could sell a static Kingtiger for that.

Yes, people want the A 10, including me (for a reasonable price). I was referring to the King Tiger being announced, built and at one point "on the water" (as rumor had it) and it never showed.

King Tiger by all mean !

i don't think it's a choice between the two. If they could make the KT they probably would. They may not have the financial resources to do it yet. The A-10 is probably a small production run, resin offering with very little financial outlay on AllGo's part, which will hopefully generate some more funds so that they can take the next step....whatever that is.

I don't want rain on the A-10's parade, but I can't really see this being good for the average collector. The fact that All-Go is teaming with Skyworks almost certainly means that the A-10 will be a resin model, which equals big, big bucks. If Skyworks has any business sense at all I'm sure they will enter some agreement with All-Go to prevent the prototype from being used in the future as a future full-production plastic model (and in turn making the resin kit obsolete).

King tiger for me + anything German sell

KING TIGER

I'm going with the King Tiger in this poll.

I voted for King Tiger as I also think it would be better to start producing this as armor does sell and the price would be in most peoples budget. I tried to sell a skyworks hurricane 1/18 kit here and not one person responded. What about a $500.00 plane or more. Come on, many people just cant afford high end stuff like that especially a static model. JSI f-14 FOR $300.00 Is already pushing it and now that skyworks will help with the A-10 I see cost rising on this one.

King Tiger for me; need it to go with my Panther.

Actually, since my primary scale is 1/32, I would jump all over an A-10 in that size.

Even though I only collect WWII.

Pretty good view, but what if All-Go is really wanting to produce the A-10 and is feeling out the market in some way through this. They could do it and it would be priced more reasonably. The truth is aircraft sell better than armor. The record of 1/18 manufacturers speaks for itself. How many of them started out with an armor release before an aircraft release? bbi dropped armor and Admiral never even gave it a try.

You want a King Tiger, something like an A-10 will need to be done. I think that perhaps what is being sought out here is how many of you really want a 1/18 scale A-10? What price range and what detail must it have at that price range?

I voted A10 since 1:16 fills my armor void now. (4 manufactures offer the king tiger in static super detail and RC form, soon to be 5. and they offer both versions of the KT)

though I could see a 1:18 KT selling pretty well

King Tiger would be a good financial shot in the arm AND THEN make the A10 - i will buy multiples of both if they aren't the usual crazy high skyworks prices.

Why aren't action figures a first choice? I voted King Tiger because I have 0 interest in a Warthog really (Great plane, just nothing I'd buy unless I got one super cheap somewhere). Figures are much less costly to produce, and if managed properly they could be the financial burst the company could need, or at least start building upon, to start doing a piece of armor and a plane every year... Hell, maybe even expand into smaller "mid-size" items too.

Putting all your eggs into one basket though, with one model, hoping to build some kind of capital to expand, just seems like a bad idea to me... Gotta start somewhere and all, but going big or going home seems like a wasted effort.

As mentioned above an A-10 would be awesome, but a super high priced plane made of brittle resin I may have trouble with. Not much interest in a King Tiger myself.

I would prefer a plastic king tiger lead way to plastic A10, over a resin A-10 leading way to a plastic King tiger. I love 1/18 but i demand a sturdy product, it is the reason i didn't buy the F-14 and it is plastic I can't imagine a plane that size in resin.
