Dragon Armor wishlist

It goes without saying the Sherman needs to get done. I would love to see some late war versions with the extra sandbag armor applied.

I know the tank sucked but an M3 Lee would look cool.

An Afrika Korps deluxe box set with Pz 1 (command version no turret), Pz II, Pz III, short barreled Pz IV, long barrel Pz IV, Tiger I and Rommels' command halftrack "Greif". I think that would go over well in the collecting community.

As for my out in left field wish - a Soviet T-35 Land Battleship!

the Lee is being done by FOV this year. (oh and im one of the people who thinks the FOV 1/72 is at least as good as the Dragon stuff.)

For me the great news is that most of the stuff I really want is actually due to be made by one manufacturer or another in the next year or so.

Dragon is making shermans and knowing Dragon that will probably mean every make and mark you care to mention.

the baby panzers would still be a very popular choice I believe , panzer IIIs and IVs are already on there way but we still want Is and IIs.

I would put put money on Dragon doing these sooner rather than later.

Its gonna be a great couple of years for 1/72

Actually FOV is doing a UK Grant this year, hopefully they will add the M3 Lee( I like the extra mg turret).

One thing I forgot to add in my original post. I would like to see some USMC WW2 Amtracs. With all the different versions and camo styles, Dragon I think would have a winner. I could also see Cyber-Hobby doing a Tarawa dio in their DioArmor line with a Amtrac jammed into the seawall with some shattered palm trees as a backdrop.

This year we will see some great new releases from FOV and Admiral on tanks not ever done before. The M10 was on my wish list last year and now Admiral announced they're doing one as well as a US halftrack that FOV is doing so my list has changed a little.

In no particular order....

- US Sherman (a good one)
- German Panzer IV variants (Dragon will probably do this)
- German Marder
- German 250/1 halftrack
- More Russian tanks that aren't T-34s
- Soft skin vehicles (trucks and jeeps)

Israeli Merkava and Grant.

I too think that the FOV tanks are pretty close to Dragon in quality. However, I still favor Dragon.
