OK, this is the last day of 2024 or it’s already Jan. 1, 2025 in some parts of the world. So let’s start a new thread. As before, could you please limit your wish to the top 5 model kits in the “armor/afv” or military vehicle category?
Here are mine to start off - not much change from my '24 wish unfortunately:
Newly tooled US M106 mortar carrier or the current M1064 mortar carrier.
I really don’t have anything armor-wise. I set out to get one of every production vehicle in the Encyclopedia of German Armor by Jentz and Doyle and am now shy by about 20 or so vehicles, most of which are just variants of kits already available that I could easily scratch into the ones I still need.
A munitionsschlepper for the Pz 38(t) is basically the tank without a turret more or less. I don’t need a whole new kit for that.
Maybe a few in my stash could use an update/new tooling, but overall I am actually good.
Yeah. I was really bummed back in 2012 when Cookie Sewell reported that little error. A more accurate model would have pulled me out of a then two year slump that ultimately lasted 12 years. Every so often I consider purchasing one, or the Accurate Armor version. Not sure why I care at this point, but I do.
Kinda weird. I want the first three kits @Petition2God wished for. I can wait for the M60 slick and the OG M48; but I’ve always wanted the M106 to be reissued in its most current form (M1064A3).
Some great ideas guys.Lets hope 2025 can provide some of what we wish for.
For me i wish.
