Small Scale Military Headquarters

I'm thinking FOV will get the Italians, M13/40, AB40/41s but then 21st did risk the Macchi 202/205s.

but maybe 21st will do IJA stuff.

Interesting point:

CV33s, could be done in Italian army colors(Eastern Front/North Africa) and adjusted for CV35 which could be done in Hungarian colors(Eastern front) and Italian colors.

M13/40s could be upgraded to M14 and M15. with Italian and Captured German colors for the M15 atleast. Possible British captured model, the British respected the 4.7cm gun of the Italians in North Africa.

AB40/41s could be done in Italian and German colors and were used right up to 1945.

should of pointed out between 21stC and FoV.

Admiral Toys has plans to make a 1:72 diecast Type 97 Japanese Medium Tank.

Do the treads on that Figarti Type I move or are they glued in place.

Either way they are an improvement on the "dirt" that K&C mold into their static tracks.

Just curious..

While I would love to see it happen here is why I say no way. Either one could come up with a 2.5 ton truck that would sell damn well! Probably ten fold what an Italian tank coud push. Yet neither has done this. 21st or FOV would probably sell an SU85 or SU76 T34/76(21st) at ten fold what a Chi Ha or Type 1 could bring?

I believe there are far too many pieces missing at this point to see either even try this??

As I recall from a previous discussion, the tracks on the figarti do not roll unfortunately. Looking at pics of the figarti model you will notice that "sag" effect in the tracks between the roadwheels which is what it would look like on a real tank, very nice for a static display, but not good for rolling like the 21C models. BTW, the figarti is a really nice piece but very expensive at nearly $100 If I remember correctly.
