Ok--what planes carry bunker busters in their arsenal?

B-52s, B-2s, and the B-1B to name a few. But on a more realistic note: A-10s, F/A-18s, F-16s, and F-117s (among others) have been known to carry them in the past few years.

I know it's a long shot but the twin engines of the F-4 Phantom can rattle some foundations. Sure could be that King Tiger though since that was thrown around a while back. I suppose they should throw the armor guys a bone every once in a while.

Please announce new armour & than the wait will be only 4 months before it arrives. Wars are lost in less time. Reinforcements please, over & out.

A Largish mortar would shake some foundations. I'm hoping for a Sturmtiger!!!

Sturmtiger?? Nah...we don need no stinking sturmtiger....what we need is THOR! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6rser_Karl

Yeah, there is something to be said about the Dora... Although I would like to know where a 1/18 version would fall in UPS's new shipping rate schedule!
I do hope that Merit willl have the 1/35 version on display (and post some pictures), and this time, hopefully painted up nicely. They had it at ihobbyexpo in Chicago, but in an unpainted state.

The King Tiger would be totally cool.

I would get at least 10 of them. There would be zillions of repaints

The custom potential would be huge. Henchel or Porche, Sturm, Jagd, skirts no skirts. My head is spinning

Zimmermit no zimmermit .Battle of the Bulge. Holding the Reds out of Berlin. I think that I have to do lay down.

In the last few years I was always looking forward to see the pics from toyfair. I was hoping for some pics of new tanks. But I was always disappointed in the end, seeing only new planes and repaints of existing 1/18 tanks. I hope for the king tiger, but I don't count on it.

Don't count on it - you will set yourself up for disappointment. Yes, it was mentioned a while back as in the plans but so have a lot of things. I think it is one of those pieces where you just need to forget it, and one day if it comes we can rejoice. Again, nobody else is making 1:18 armor, so a KT may just be a little too much to expect, sorry. However, with the Pak 40 being so popular I think artillery is a great guess as someone suggested above.

Let's just hope we get some from the US!

I am not 100% sure of what is going to be shown in terms of actual models (prototypes). But what I am speaking of, the clue that I gave, comes from information I have pulled from the booth teaser flyer for this years show. Lets just say there were a couple things that really got the blood flowing! I can't share any details at this time but in less than a week we will all know. I will be sure to post a copy of the flyer on AREA-21 next weekend so that everyone can see the information and pictures just as I did!

Yeah! It will shake some foundations all right! As for the rumors? Well by creating this thread and the drop of a hint I would say we now have some rumors. -Have we not? Keep guessing! This is really fun and I expect Roy and others from 21st are checking in to see what we come up with.

Well, let's see...we've been 'hounding' bbi for MORE British, Rusian, US soldiers-and bbi gave us ROMANS...so... with 21C...hmmmm
My guess now is that...'rattling foundations'....I know, Turn of the Century San Fransico Earthquake Figures!

(I'll shut up and go to the back of the room now)

How about the Priest? That could shake some foundations too.

zhukov · Post by **zhukov** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 2:21 pm

Great! I love construction toys in 1/18, in fact there are very few, some manufactuers need to step up and make some 1/18 scale diecast bulldozers, and mack dumptrucks etc...

Schuco makes great 1/18 farm tractors and other german made equipment.
