If 21C continues the Pz38 chassis trend, which release would you like to see next?
This may be a way to get around higher material and shipping costs and keep their price point the same...
I want a Puma!

Panzer II chassis opens the way for other releases, like the early Marders, Grilles, wood-burning training tanks etc. Items that would look great. Hope they build a couple more variants of the 38(t) series before they move on to develop another tiny tank.

Ok, I'll admit, WWII isn't my strong point. Between the wars, even less so. But wood burning tanks? Please fill me in...

Because of fuel shortages in 1944-1945, Germany was forced to develop alternative sources for energy. Wood gas generators were developed and used to power a variety of German vehicles up to and including tanks (Panzer IVs, Panzer 38(t) variants and even Panzer II training tanks). In a book that I have (Panzerwrecks 2) there are pictures of a turretless Panzer II with a wood gas generator.

I gave the Greyhound my nod, with the Bren carrier and Puma close behind. Actually, I think they ought to make them all.

It can be a bit hard to get but the 1/32nd M8 (and its "cousin" the M20) were some of the best models that Monogram did in their 1/32nd series. So, in effect, the M8 was done and done better than most 21C efforts. My only trepidation about the M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage is that the FoV M5A1 is Soooo much nicer than the 21C version, I wish that the M8 HMC would be done by them. I still wish that either manufacturer would get the tracks right. Both of them copied the deeply flawed Tamiya M5A1 and put the end connectors ON the track blocks instead of BETWEEN the blocks. It's small but once you know that hte tracks could never function that way it really bothers me.
Another small vehicle - the M3 scout car (the one that looks like the front of a halftrack). Used by the US early in the war, the British, the Free French and by the Russians. Lots of repaint opportunities.
They can do those right AFTER they give us a 1/32nd M10 Tank Destroyer.
