Small Scale Military Headquarters

Not self-propelled, you get the idea
I think I would want the 88

I'd like to see a German 37mm PaK gun. Tough 'lil buggers. It's either that or a Marder SPG.

88 all the way!!!!

I can understand the 88mm and the 57mm (my favorite - but I like them both) but what are the "other" guns you guys are voting for.......75mm Howitzer??..... 37mm??..... 155mm?........Anzio Annie???

TTT

This poll really needs and all of the above.

Oh yeah 88's for sure! in a heartbeat! But It would be nice to follow with another piece or two afterward.

I'm for the 88, and given that there will soon be a 32x example, one seems all the more likely. A PAK-40 and a Howitzer are also very necessary additions, the PAK-40 also a seeming 1:18 possibility, considering there's already 1:6 and 1:32 21c versions!

I want the 88--I need to set up a flak dio. My Thunder Jugs are tearing up French roadways with impunity.

I would like them all!

I voted for the 88 (i'd buy five of them) but my third choice (after the pak 40) would be a british 25 pounder. Like many, i want them all...

The Pak 40 all the way!!! It's a slick looking gun that goes well in any armor diorama. Comon, can't you see a Sherman passing a knocked out Pak 40?? The 88 is just too......eh...... square.

I voted other, because I would like to see a 155mm Long Tom and a little off topic, but a Mack 7.5 ton Prime Mover to haul it would be cool to.

Power Team's howitzer is a reasonable facsimile of a long tom. With some effort it can be made into something that looks quite nice. I modified a tonka bulldozer to tow mine (i made mine a marine corp long tom).

While the 88 is cool I already have a pair of the diecast 1/16 ones. While they are not perfect they do the job for me.

As I see it, the Pak 40 offers the most scratch-building options. Off the top of my head Sdkfz 251/22, Sdkfz 234/4, Marders, RSOs. It was also far more common. The Pak 40 gets my vote.

I said the 88 just because of how widely used it was. What would be really cool is a coastal defense bunker with a cannon in it like the ones at Merville highly unlikly but would be cool non the less. Back to reality I'd really like to see an 88 with a full crew to man it.

Im going with the Pak 40, I think it would be a logical next step. As said above 21st has them in 1/6th and 1/32nd why not 1/18th?
An 88 would be cool but if they had problems with the muzzle brake on the Panzer, I wonder what the hell an 88 would look like I'm just kidding, I've been very happy with the 1/18th line.

The most one that I would want would be a Pak 37. The second would have to be between the 88mm Flak or Pak 40. The last and not least would be 37mm Bofors AA gun.

actually there wasn't a bofors 37mm anti aircraft gun. There was a 37mm anti tank gun, used by many countries including Poland and Finland. It was a small but effective gun, which was operated with one of the crewman lying belly down on each of the trails.

There was also a bofors 40mm anti aircraft gun used by many nations including Britain, the US, Russia etc on both land and on ships. It was an excellent light aa gun.

aferguson,
Your right. Got my wires crossed. What it was I should have put is 37mm Bofors AT gun. Which in was used by most nations in WWII that I have read. I think I remember reading that it was also the base that the Pak 37 was built on, but I could be wrong.

I imagine the 88 will be the most popular, and it offers many possibilities, but don't forget that the US 105 won the war! It served from North Africa through Viet Nam and in all theaters of WW2. There are LOTS of possibilities for that gun and its various crews.
