FSM is currently running its most-wanted kit survey. Vote for the kit you would like to see and all the results will be published in the September 2010 issue of FSM.
OK…I already voted and being an armor guy only for 1/35 armor. Now if I am the only one who thinks of a particular kit do we have an honorable mention for the most different request!!! LOL
And for those that are wondering…1/35 scale M1 240mm towed howitzer…you know me…a nice big gun!!
Redleg - weren’t those SPA’s designed for the propsed invasion of Japan (Operation Olympic)? King Kong to bash Tokyo, at least 10 years ahead of the sci-fi films.
Like mike I also only voted for a 1/35 armor kit. That being the M24 Chaffee. I have the older Italeri kit in the stash but I would love to see someone like Dragon put out either a smart or premium kit of the early version.
I TOTALLY AGREE with you guys. My dad-in-law drove a Chaffee when he was in the reserves right after the Korea War and he LOVED it. I bought an older kit from Italeri via eBay last year and it was not as good as modern kits. I’d be thrilled to see newer kit come out… I’d even buy TWO! One for myself and one for my dad-in-law.
I believe M24 is the only tank that saw all three theaters… WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Several countries purchased our tanks and kept them running til 1980’s. Unbelievable… safe to say that it was the longest operated tank other than those Russian tanks?
