Hey lightning2000, I noticed on the Motor Pool web site there is a second Flak gun listed. There is also a second 7/1 Prime mover with a release date of 7/06. Do you know something we don't or is it an educated guess? Though if it is a guess...it's a safe one.

Hi Hanomag,
Call it tanker's intuition! <g> Anyway, with four Tiger I, four King Tigers, and four Schwimmwagens under their belt, among other things, I think its a safe bet you can expect them to re-use the molds and re-introduce the same products in multiple patterns. Unimax will be announcing their 2007 lineup in October, so we'll see if our hunch is correct...

Hi Hanomag,
I agree. The standard Sd. Kfz. 7 would be welcome as would an 88mm gun in the same scheme. Personally, I'm hoping for a set in a summer scheme or Afrika Korps pattern. I'd also like to see some GMC truck variants to tow the newly-released 105mm howitzer.
While we're on the subject of wishful thinking, some Marine Corps equipment would be well received, particularly AMTRACs and a Sherman with planking on its sides to defeat Japanese explosives. I'm kind of hoping that this will be their breakout year for new molds, instead of all the repaints previously announced. I know there's loads of opportunities right not and I think their new packaging is awesome. My only criticism would be to add something attractive along the spine of the packaging so they can be displayed in a bookshelf fashion like magazines. Frankly, I think that would help to elevate the line to an even higher status, and make more efficient use of space if people would prefer to keep their collectibles in the original packaging...

Yes, Marine Corp epuipment would be great. So would a DUKW for that matter. To FoV's credit, they did make an Amphibian GPA, I don't think I've ever seen another. God I hope you're right about this year being a breakout.
What all has the new packaging? I just picked up The Hanomag (oh the irony)81510 but it was the same box type. Nice piece though.

I'm just waiting for a Porsche Tiger II.
you know I'll put money down on a Elefant/Ferdie coming out in 2007 from either FoV or 21st...cause it's fits their want list, big, expensive in Real Life with limited use and yea only 90 were made. Plus you have Ost service, Italy and some reports of Western Front service of the type.
although something cool would be French 1940 armour which could be done in French colors and later Captured German Markings. Ie R35(Also Italian and some other Axis minors), S35 and Char B1 bis(Later a FlammPanzer Platform.)
