Hi
I think that price has a lot to do with how well a model sells, keep to around 1500 to 2000 for a kit and you will sell lots ,
for me and im sure for others its the tracks that drawers us to these models, i would definitely buy a Jagdpanther to go with my sherman and tiger
Thanks David

I think in this economic climate "less is more" could be a good thing. Build a small tank ie, lightweight and lighter cost and increase the customer base while the world economy recovers. To that end I suggest the following:

1. French FT17
2. Japanese Type97
3. Some form of the Wiesel MK20
4. Panzer I or Panzer II
5. Bulgarian Skoda tank
6. French Hotchkiss H39

Hi Gill
Bren carrier nice and small and tones of versions for those
that like to modify.

Or Marder III M the detail in the fighting area would be great fun
and lots of rivet detail.

I also love the T34 a great tank and a good off set for all those Tigers and Panthers out there.

The comet is a great tank but we have one out there already.

we must stop making stupid predictions

I would like to see this model as the next new kit . Simple to make , good history . would run real nice . only four single roads wheels on each side
... nice tracks , lots of riverts would sit on the back seat of your car .. Leaf sprung suspension on the outside of the hull would leave good room inside the hull ... Plus if it was 300 pounds less then the PZIII . most of us would buy one . Plus a great first model into 1/6 all metal kit . lots of new owners to start out in the hobby and once you have one Armortek kit you wont more of them ...Dale

My idea of something completly different would be a DUKW. Somewhat of a simple design and you could also do a CCKW (same frame, drivetrain, tires and rims). I think it would be fun to see it go swimming to outrun the tanks.

Hi

I would have to agree with Adrian of Stephen: something British and WWII, although a Centorian would get my attention.

I personally want teh Panther the next time it is offered!

-B

I must add that the Matilda and the 38T would have a lot of details and are lighter, good points!

A very different it would be the Scwimmwagen, but I think that it would be very difficult to produce as RC.
