Now that AT is moving into small vehicles, hows about....Schwimmwagon,
I know, it would require an almighty stamping machine for the hull/tub.
S1 & another project(which isn't AT)
It would be brilliant here in the UK, at least, with such a wet summer and all the pot holes (we have some big ones). Surely it and a Kubel couldn't be more suited.
Have fun
Charles

Can you do an M5 Stuart for the next one? The 21st century toys is just that a kids toy a real Armortek model rendering would be nice

That would be nice, but what about an M8 armored car? An M24 Chaffee tank? One of the early French tanks?
An early M4A1 would be fantastic! (I know a lot of cast parts so it would be $$$). If I live long enough to see one of these come to the Armortek limited production products it would be great! But I would also need to live long enough to complete the build! LOL
BTW just finished watching Pacific and Band of Brothers on Netflix, a lot of armor and vehicles in the different scenes, worth watching again or definitely for the first time.

A Chaffee tank would be a good one too...pr any of the allied ww2 tanks would be cool I'm not sure about the others I need to research them. I just got done with the Pacific it is a good series

The title of this topic could have been "Just one more Tank" contributors being owners, obviously.
With the advent of the Leo2 there's got to be a need, as comically stated in the film Small Soldiers.
"What does a soldier need?" No, not "a hat or camouflage"
Recently, The tank museum has been doing some really good informative "inside the tanks" series clips, check this one out.
Not as bad as recently shown in Eastern Europe, just poorly deployed? Surly 28.000 approx end users can't be wrong, can they?
T72 - T90 might be a popular choice, sleek, good looking and powerful. since only one and a half Russian models supplied so far by Armortek.
Could be good seller especially if a smaller model was required.
Many variations could be built on the chassis including the BMPT terminator.

I heard no russian pieces will be allowed. Reasons unknown.

The T34, somewhat surprisingly, was a very slow seller. So it’s become Company Doctrine that Russian stuff doesn’t sell well, so is not a good business risk for a small company.
These days, in particular ……

Will these models then be supplied with a big spring release mechanism so the turret will fly a meter or 3 high?
That would be conform reality....

I always believed that Armortek pushed the boundaries on what might or might not sell.
What makes a runaway success?
Chieftain, we were told sold out in three weeks or so.
Yet, there are older or similar aged models are still waiting for a new owner on the shelf.
The T tanks are used on both sides, leaving room for loads of modeling scope.
Maybe next time a few mockup renderings could be drawn up, when or if there's another public vote.
A 3D printed finished kit might be a good idea too, painted up, showing what could be sold, these days it wouldn't cost the earth.
Someone once said "the public doesn't know what it wants until you show it to them".

Hi Guys
Not a fan of this modern stuff much more into the 2nd world war stuff but never wanted a Tiger.
Would love a Jagd Panther or a re run of the WW1 mk 4 tank.

Sad to say your right Ed, but the battle field has changed, modern day anti tank weaponry has changed too.
What was good at one point of the conflict, becomes scrap at another. Just like placing Matida's in front of a screen of 88's.
Both sides use the T tanks, so their pretty well matched.
The video clip does dispel some myth's

Maybe time to blow the dust off the Panzer IV chassis, bring the details up to the current stuff we see from Armortek. The Universal Panther worked, why not a Universal Panzer IV? Stug IV, JagdPanzer IV and gun tank.
Cheers,
Alex

Id be afraid to have an rc T90 as someone may hop over my fence and blow the turret off it.....being silly Im done now..... any tank can be taken out there is allways a way....whats scary is the T90 is not a junk vehicle it is a premier AFV.....nothing that big is untouchable in todays age even in WW 2 now that i think of it....I highly agree it would be a cool model though and you can do a Ukrain layout as they are using them so I'd be on board. Id also be excited for a T34 ......but I'm hoping for an M5 or Chaffee.
