If the sculpting is going through a hiatus does this mean we might see a resurrection of the "You want what making" system
Potentially at some stage, yes, but not in the foreseeable. The sculpting hiatus is to allow us to catch up on all of the sculpts in the drawer and get them moulded up, so adding some random odds and ends to the pile might not be helping that!
:D
Ah! Like the Belgian tanks for 1940? :D
But - never, ever the Aztecs >:( >:(
A Morris cdsw tow for the Bofors AA? There's nothing else to pull a British Bofors gun.
An Israeli M38A3 Jeep - the one with the rounded bonnet (hood?) and bigger mudguards.
A Centurion Sho't for the Yom Kippur War?
Aztecs? Steel is better than feathers! ;)
For a wargamer who has never seen any attraction in post-1925 the above statement is ridiculous.
Centurion Sho't is MDV19. Already there. :D
Feathers have a place - on a bird usually. Placing them randomly about ones person merely makes the wearer look a bit, well.... overdressed for a battle? One in a hat is excusable. Otherwise it's a huge fashion no-no.

No, I fear not.
The 1973 Yom Kippur Sho't never had the thermal sleeve on the barrel. Hence you need the Sho't hull and the mk5 turret as things stand. Just goggle images for centurion and Yom Kippur War. No sleeves. To be honest I'm a little fuzzy on what the model is of / for. It's not 1973 and in 82 the Sho't Kals do have the sleeve, but they also have the add on blazer armour pack. So it isn't that either?
Yep the doc is correct mdv19 too late for yom kippur. I went with the mk7. IIRC there were still cents with original engines in idf in 73.
The M38 jeep for the Israeli's really is a must have. Nice big recoiless gun in the rear...hmmmm!
Then again; some correct Israeli M-3 Halftracks are a must have too then.
Cheers,

The pendraken MK5 has the 20 pounder, you need the 105mm gun for Isreali Cents.

Now you are getting picky :D
It depends; if the US WW-2 halftracks have the 'pulpits' as separate parts then they can be adapted rather easily. If they are cast on though removing those with be a problem...
And if Pendraken does the Isareli halftrack; why not make one with the Soltam mortar too? ;)

Yeah they are separate. I have some ready to be IDF'd. Doing the same with the M-113

120mm mortar from the indochina range in the back of the M3? Might work I'll have a look when I get home.
Unfortunately the Israeli 1/2 Tracks are M5/9 not M3, so I want the rounded corners !! ;) :D ;D
If the M3 comes without the pulpit the modification to Israëli troop transporter would be relatively easy...
For the Soltam mortar carrier I guess the interior would need a major overhaul... that might be a bit too much?

Looks doable, the seats are a lip that can be cut out reasonably easy. I'll put one together and post some pics.
Looking forward to that Matt!
