World War II Wishlist?

[Hurrah]

early war british bi-planes please

While obviously you are referring to the Gloster Gladiator

Consider the Hawker Audax/Hart series.

(ignore the photo with the retrofitted radial engine)

Service in numerous back water policing actions, Including the fighting in Iraq, also served Finland in the winter war and Spain in the civil war.

I had Hawker Demons in mind for 608 squadron based at Thornaby pre-war, for AVBCW action. But I think that may be a bit too off the beaten track for Leon/Ben

Its a Hart/Audax variant, minor revisions mainly to do with the power plant and external fittings etc. On this scale they should all look about the same (or close enough) as it was an evolving design. The single seater Fury is the only one I know of being a pure single seater

Would fit in with the Spanish Civil War range as the republican air force did use a fair number of Hearts/Audax and Demons in the first half of the war. Also If I remember rightly, some fought in the Chaco war.

yes Leftfield, though don’t think it is totally out there though.

I'd love to see Soviets for the Winter War in greatcoats with M36 helmets and Budyonovkas (Shlems).

Winter war wise... I would love a model of Simo Häyhä the Finnish sniper AKA the white death!

[Hertsblue]

Six wheeled Opel Blitz with office/radio cabin body (Kfz 17).
SdKfz 10/5 3.7cm FlaK .
2.8 cm sPzB41 (Classed as an anti-tank rifle but looks like a miniature AT gun)

Too lazy to read through all of this, so at the risk of repetition:

Italian stuff:
45-mm Modello 35 mortar
47/32 Modello 35 AT/Support gun
75/27 Modello 06 guns
75/18 Modello 35 pack howitzers
100/17 Howitzer
Cannone da 75/46 C.A. modello 34 or Cannone da 90/53 AT/AA guns
20mm Breda AA gun

Cheers

SdKfz 10/5 3.7cm FlaK .

Thought the 10/5 had the 2cm Flak 38. In 10mm the difference with the 10/4 which had the Flak 30 must be minimal.

Why settle for second best when one may not have to?

Oops, told you my eyesight was dodgy!

Because one might have to wait months or possibly years to obtain the best. And then not be able to tell the difference...

Wow, that was a delayed action response!

Yeah, it's been a while since I caught up on all the requests... 

[Texas Jack]

I haven´t read through all 17 pages here, so please consider any repeats as even more affirmation for the models!

It would be great to see some inter/early war stuff:

US M2 medium tank

Pz 35(t)

Czech (or Slovak) Infantry

Polish everything.

[howayman]

sorry i thought it was massive lag.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

The US M2 Medium is a waste of time, Polish TP-7 is a clone of Vickers 6 tonner - and or T-26

We do need Chaffee, and other comon used vehicles.

Am I the only one thinking that a late-war US Sherman should be added? I.e. A M4A3 with the new 47^o glacis plate. Preferably all variants, so with 75mm, 76mm and 105mm howitzer. It would be nice to have a version with additional sandbag armour, as well. Versions with HVSS would also be good.

Besides being the version that was used more than any other by the US army, it also has a lot of uses in later conflicts (Korea being the prime example). And it would be a good start if you want to do the later Israeli versions, as well.

[HPFlashman]

I've considered before somewhere to provide lists for customers of how different ranges can work for various conflicts.  A good example would be Maximilian, which can be put together from various codes from all over our ranges?

That would be swell, I`ve been reading a lot of treads and here and there such advice pop up.

From the top of my head, the Ruga Rugas as stand ins for Sudan have had a few pointers, not to mention that several of the packs in the British Sudan Army packs stems from either the Boer or the Zulu line up.
