Armour ONLY :D :twisted:

I think we see too many wonderfull aircrafts being made. Tis time to put the wings aside & concentrate on the ground pounders themselves.

So may pieces of Armour to do from so many conflicts & really we`ve barely scratched the surface.

So Playtime for those down in the mud :D

I have more planes than armor.

(Probaly because they've made more planes than anything else.)

Given a choice, I'd keep my planes.

I voted for "both" though. :wink:

I chose tanks because I would give up all my 1:18 -&1/32- planes for more new 1:18 tanks...
but I could have said both... :wink:... planes are pretty cool... but tanks are what got me started

Need em both. No armor without air cover, and no air power without something to hold the ground.

Plus both are just too damn cool to pick one or the other.

Armor is great,I like anything with tracks,But due to room and funds I find myself going back to what I like the most military aviation.Now I find that I'm running out of airspace. :shock: :?

Started with figures & found armor to match, planes followed until ran out of ceiling space, just need more German armor now.

I'm a propeller head but I do appreciate the odd bit of armour . Now if only they made a tanker truck and tow tractor for my planes.........

Vehicles,....of any kind is my number one choice and "armor" was my vote, in 1/18 and 1/6.

I will buy a very few "special" planes, I have 4 in 1/32, 2 in 1/18, 1 helo in 1/18 and 1 helo in 1/6. I can see me with a future B-25, a Dauntless and a Bunker Hill Avenger but my first love will always be vehicles.

I am moving and have already taken four P/U truckloads of my 1/18 and 1/6 toys to my new house. I have about another four loads to go and I haven't moved any planes yet. I'm getting a minor revolution with comments like "Do you realize how many toys you have?"....and from my rat son.."Mom, do you know he has four of the exact same 1/6 tank?"......"Where did all these toys come from?"...."I've moved five boxes of 1/18 toys by itself, and he still have plenty more not boxed???"

The way things are going, the wifey might give me a choice, my toys or her.........I think I might miss the old gal... :roll:

I am starting to think that the manufacturers need to partner with a home-equity lender for a special rate on outbuildings and shelving. But keep em coming! Land and air (and sea, somebody?)

I personally would like to see and buy both planes and armor. The ratio is 7:2 in the planes favor. We actually need more armor this year. When 21C started back in 2000 (I believe), did they have both planes and armor? Or did the planes follow the year after in 2001?
