I hear you im soo sick of WW2 german armor iv bult my sgare of WW2 german armor and i didnt go Ape sh** on building Panthers,Tiger and Panzer IV one of each was enough for me i didnt need a dozen tigers

I understand that the market is perhaps more voluminous for German armored vehicles from the Second World War. I concentrate on modern armored vehicles and I try to make different ones each timeā€¦I donā€™t have a dozen m1 Abrams even if there are many on the market, each company has its own

Building a Camel II trailer and generator from scratch is no big deal.





I once ordered the sprues from FMTV trailer and MTV frame from Trumpeter spare parts service.

WARNING, BIG WISH LIST, sorry!
Any 1/35 Corps of Royal Engineer vehicles and other equipment from WW1 to present, and figures. Be it cranes, LMDs, AVREs, ABLES, CETs, BFI eqpt., waterpoint eqpt, postal, signals, pre-RFC, AVLBs, mine laying and breaching eqpt., BR90, Bailey, Mabey J, mgb bridges ( all as individual components) , Hesco (as individual sections/part), dozers, graders, airfield construction, ADR eqpt., class 30/60 trackway/matting, LRE eqpt., EOD eqpt., other plant vehs., Dems eqpt., G1098 stores, general engineer stores, QM stores, watermanship eqpt, accommodation components, Mulberry hbr. components, Ports and Railways eqpt., heavy plant, Amphib.
The figures to support /use the equipment, such as, stevedores, POMs, BD/EOD operators, bridging section(s), sappers operating/using various small engineer eqpt., water point/ BFI operators, minefield constructors / de-constructors.
All need to be in styrene with PE.
Also post war/cold war transport , the Bedford era, Leyland Daf era, Landys (Snatch, new tooling of Pinky, Defender, series, lightweight ). Figures for post- war/ cold war , all units types, plus associated ā€˜fire supportā€™ eqpt etc.
The Sappers are largely under represented, unless you want Hobarts Funnies or OOP resin, and the Funnies have only really been done recently, but without them an army grinds to a halt.

Interesting suggestions- however, @Jon_Cawte and @Trisaw, the original suggestion of this thread was top 5 wishes for ā€œarmorā€ kits so we can stay focused.

OOps sorry, not, I only gave 4, so hereā€™s my 5

1; any Corps of Royal Engineer model(s) from WW1 to present.
2; the figures to go with *1
3; postwar/cold war transport
4; figures for *3
and my 5th will be; FV432 and variants pre Bulldog

I hope to start my SEP v3 after my 2 other projects in progress. I am not a specialist in M1 I have difficulty differentiating the versions. My v3 I would like to do it with the trophy system in desert tan color. Do you have some photos of your m1?

which one?
