This is my first post and I have a Firefly on order. It will be my first Armortek build.
I would love to see a M10. I also have a M4A3 quality build by anther member of this forum , it
is still a strong runner mechanically and looks great to. It is slowly having more detail on it

Happy Builder

Glad to see so many replies, nothing wrong with some healthy speculation to get the juices flowing for the next release!
please no famo bombardment. that thread got boring.
I quite agree.. that stopped being informative months ago so please guys, we know there are people who want famos, we know, telling us won't make us realise how much "The Famo few" want famo's anymore than we already do! I'd like to see a Famo too but feel it would have to be the same price as a King Tiger
due to the parts count etc.. :(
As we aren't likely to know for a while what the release/s will be till maybe the open day at earliest, lets stick to what might be realistic, in the sense that there's a chance that Mark and Gill can make a profit from the batch, no models they can only sell 10 of!

So far i agree with all Sherman suggestions, Centurion, and as we already know if it's german it will sell pretty well...

....but Mark and Gill..if you are reading this..release a Challenger 2 with post telic up armour and a bar armour kit and I'll buy two ...deal?? :lol:


Cheers

Hi fellas.

I wasn't going to reply to this but can't help but feel we may be on shakey ground here. This forum has always been very successfully run by the owners who seem to manage it very well, and has always encouraged healthy debate about the building and painting of the models we are all so interested in, and has been used as a very helpful platform from which we have nearly all been helped or in turn helped other members with various projects.
This post was started presumably to get members to put forward their various wishes and hopes for future releases, as far as I can see most of the models suggested have been mentioned before including the Famo and the Quad and the Centurian which I think all three would make welcome additions but . . . for a certain number of individuals to be asked not to make their wishes noted is a bit unfare to say the least, and for it to be suggested that their ideas are boring is a little high handed and presumtious.
I think we should all be able to express our own individual opinions on this public forum, unless of course we step out of line at which time the people who actually run it will step in as they have done in the past.
Just my thoughts which I hope have not upset anyone.
So back to the original subject of a wants list.
My vote would still remain the same.
Cheers Paul :wink:

Just to calrify , please dont think in any way I was going to stop the flow of debate or anything else, the forum is not mine to run, nor do I feel I have the right to tell people what they are allowed to say, I merely was echoing what other forum members have said, we all know people want a famo, its a cool choice for a model, all in my own personal opinion which anyone has teh right to disagree with, I feel we should avoid going down the route as seen on other threads where it degenrates to the same one word answers, In this way Im sure members will agree, that I was trying to help the debate be more fruitful and healthy, more interesting if you will.

In no way was I or anyone else trying to say that peoples choices where boring as I made clear I would love a Famo in my collection.

Cheers,

Alex

There is lots to choose from but my budget will probably only allow for a Jeep which will be a nice model to go in between a Famo and a nice Panzer II. A "U.S. 6x6 1.5 Ton Cargo Truck" would be nice too.

So this would be my wishlist...

To help budget consious builders I think it would be great to see a small model release maybe half track like Sdkfz 251 along with somthing larger for those not on a budget with lots of space. Now that armortek production has progressed to two models at a time. Any idea when new release to be announced.

I love the luchs, its like the grandad to the cvrt!
