Looked at the images, Though it is only a turret upgrade, on that huli it would be wrong.They do have the CBSS bulge, But the back deck has a TRAVEL LOCK.
Also the aircleaner boxes are wrong for an A2, we never had the beveled front.
THe infantry phone box is too high up, and what is that abomination beneath it??!!
There is a handle on the gunner’s hatch, we didn’t have one, the loader would go in, and unlock the hatch from the inside (I was a gunner).
For that price, I can pass. Thanks for the link
New m10 booker
Personally, I am not sure about M10 Booker kit coming out so soon because the first procurement goes to the 82nd Airborne Division in late 2025, and it may take some changed shapes and parts than what you see in the demo models.
For accuracy reasons, a release in 2026 may be better - not that the companies are jumping all over a “new modern US armor”. Sure, it may never come out in polystyrene. It’s not a paper panzer, unfortunately so “it’s not going to sell” excuse…
personally I have no interest in the armored vehicles of the second war and even less in the panzer paper vehicles which have not even been manufactured. even if I understand that it is the most important part of the market
there already exist models of the T14 .KF 51, leopard 2a7+, and the Abrams x(soon available) why not the M10
we have a better chance of having an ampv soon because it is on the same basis as the Bradley
10x10 lvsr could be good too.
the market is completely saturated with panzer each version is available by several companies
I’m sure it’s been listed already, I personally would love some Cold War tank crew, in wet weather and cold weather gear, parkas and raincoats, stuff like that. Both on and off the tank. And a 1/35 donkey dick, they were on every American armored vehicle, is that too much to ask?
Wanamaker usually has the orange roof beacons.
great pic and I love the CHU on the hook.
@JJohnson59 AFV Club includes a donkey dick on their standard sprue of gas cans. I have it in their M54A2, M110, and M107 kits.
And in MOPP gear
Wow, thanks, I’m gonna find a set right now
God, don’t we just (need such)! The nearest I’ve got and these are for Brit figures I must admit, are the one produced by Red Zebra - a somewhat understated manufacturer who does some good stuff; anyway, here, as a reminder, are the AFV crew figures (sadly sans respirators):
The only others that come to mind are the Verlinden ones reflecting the Gulf War - and quite chunky they are too (nearly 1:32 I reckon), and the crew for the Davy Crockett by Sharkit, where the definition is somewhat lacking…
Oh well, one day perhaps, one day…
PS: For those who are unaware of the products - and I feel there’s some good stuff within - see:
A plastic USA wildland fire 4-door mini pumper with chrome, gear, lightbar, hose reel, control panel, roll up doors, interior, telescopic spotlights, pushbumper with winch, etc. There are many models to choose from.
Ok here goes all 1/35 plastic

That looks like a good candidate for a 3D print. CADed something like it in 45 mins (w/out the bottom lever):

Close?
I’ve got some Red Zebra stuff, it’s top notch. I’d like them (or someone else) to produce modern British Army figures with Virtus Soldier System kit. Nearly all current modern British figures have Mk6 or 7 helmets and various iterations of Osprey body armour and load carrying equipment.
Well, I know that Paul is open to suggestions; my modelling mate Pete Smith, lobbied him for small furry animals, and Voilà - he did them!
Have you checked out Hobby Link’s stuff? He makes an M172a1 trailer that looks pretty good. Wayne
