Okay, As inspired by the "“2 or 3 kits ahead” thread…
What (in existance) armor kits, that you don’t yet have, are you just “aching” to have/build?
For me:
DML Hummel
DML Nashorn (early)
Tamiya Tiger I (initial)
Tamiya King Tiger
any Sherman! (YEA, Robert!!!)
Academy Stewart or Grant
This should be interesting!! (Remember, you can’t have the kit (or have it on order), yet!
All of em’…
Nah I’m just kidding…no but seriously, all of them…!
I am hankurin to build:
Tiger I
Sturmtiger
Tiger II
Karl
Rail road gun
Decent US halftrack
Sherman Colliope
Thats all for this month…[:D]
I’d like to see the static model of the 1/16 scale M26 Pershing come out. Other than that, when a kit comes out that I really want, I usually bite the bullet and get it. That way I’m not moping around when it’s OOP. Sometimes, if it’s a kit I really like and have been waiting a LONG time for, I’ll buy more than one… M3A3 Stuart.
Ron
Much like Ron, if I want a kit, I just go out and buy it. Doesn’t necessarily mean I will build it though.
Having said that, I would like one of the DML Jadgtigers or the Ironside M-67 Flame Tank. I just never got around to buying either of those two kits.
I want buy and build:
Tamiya M113 (the OIF version)
Trumpeter TU-95 Bear
DML or Trumpeter Leopold
DML T-34/76
Academy M36
Academy M10
Tamiya Tiger I
Panzershop VT-55
Big Tamiya Pershing. I just don’t know if I can commit. Too much money, so much time and effort, then I would crash the thing into a table and all the pieces would come off, or some little electrical connection would not work and I would not have the heart to tear the thing apart looking for the problem.
Also one of those ICM Russian “land battleship” tanks. Those things are cool.
Trumpeter K5.
Accurate Armour new Challenger II, but it’s too expensive. Also their power shovel, which is COOL COOL COOL, but same observation applies.
I’m waiting for the Revell 1/72 Type VII U-Boat also! Have one on order.
Ron
Ron, I got one of those on order too… Got to have one…
Excellent!!
Moowa-ha-ha-ha!![:p][:p][:p] Big Boot (boat)… Another laughter of glee and greed! Mowa-ha-ha-ha![:p][}:)][:p]
Ron[:D]
Me too, but are you guys gonna put wheels on the bottom of the thing or something? [(-D]
Sherman gunner to tank commander: “sir, I know we finally figured out how to outmaneuver the big German panzers, but I’ve just spotted a grave new threat. It’s coming our way, and it just fired a torpedo at us.”
It’s the German tank that can brag that it’s driven by a U-boat engine, because it is a U-boat. [(-D]
Amen to that. Now that I might go in for. I have the static Henschel turm Tiger II. Well, it’s kinda static. I think it putt-putts straight forward on its own.
I do that too, but I am a slow builder, and will often go a year (or more!) without building anything because I have other hobbies as well, so I have a ton of unbuilt kits.
Sometimes I think that buying kits is a hobby all its own.
True… Larry, half the fun is cracking open a new box from ups and figuring out how your gonna pay for it…[:D]
I’d like to do a scene of a sub pen with a bunch of 1/72 figs and vehicles around. Maybe a scene of allies capturing a sub pen…hmmmm… Idea… I CLAIM IT!!! [:D]
I dont know if one of them would count as in existance but I want to build a sherman, KVII, Panther G, PzKpfw IV africa corps type, and a basilisk assult gun from that game WarHammer 40,000
Academy Stuart
Tamiya Cromwell or Centaur
Italeri or Tamiya M8
DML or Trumpeter Leopold
Hasegawa Leopold (1/72)
US I would like to build the Verlinden 1/15th scale Stuart,
a 1/35th scale prototype Stuart that had the quad fifties mounted on it
German, a Panther and a halftrack with a towed Artilery piece
currently I have a M5 Stuart and a second for a command track, a M21 halftrack, a M7 Priest, a M8 and a jeep/trailer for after the sherman build
some 1/16 armour
king tiger
shermans
tiger 1s
anything else that is a good kit!
Tamiya’s 1/16 King Tiger Static Display (no, don’t have it yet)
I also saw that Verlinden had a 120mm Sturmtiger (I think I saw it on eBay a while back) I’d like to try my hand at that too.
Any Sherman…
Elefant (have the newer DML kit just haven’t built it yet!)
JagdPanther
Panther with the nitevision (is that an F?)
A 1/16th Steelwheeled Tiger I
Famo with the trailer
Dragon Wagon
And for some reason I’ve always had the itch to build a JadgTiger… dunno why… maybe because its rare or maybe its because of the big gun. I saw a good article in FSM where someone took a 1/16 King Tiger and built it into a JagdTiger. It looked really nice. Now that I’ve mispelled JaggTiger 10 different ways I’ll go back to sleep.
i would like to build :
M4 Sherman Early Production
M-7 Priest
Panzer II, III, IV
Sdkf-251
an i know Sherman Freaks been aching for this but i would like one too, a Sexton.
I’ll build anything thing I’m given but I really want to build Tamiya’s vast selection of German Halftrack kits
