New 1/48 armor

[Michael Rinaldi]

The series has progressed nicely, but modern subjects are noticeably absent.

Would love to see the T-55/62/72 series, Leo 2A5/6, Abrams, Challengers, M-60s, LVTPs, Sheridan, etc. they all need the scale down treatment. And complete the rest of the Hummers series started.

Same with Allied WWII subjects - the M24 Chaffee (in 1/35 too!), M3/5/8 Stuarts, Char B1, Churchill, Centaur, T-34/85, 76mm Shermans, M3 Lee/Grant, Dingo, Renault UE, Ft-17, etc.

The kits to date have been great, and really hope to see more soon.

Best,

Mike

I'm really glad to see the 1/48 armor, and especially the trucks and cars. Really great for adding interest to my favorite subject, aircraft, and fun to build. I'd like to see the Dodge WC-52 and WC-62 in 1/48, and any civilian 30's to 70's trucks. The only two commonly available are the Kenworth and GM Stake Truck Monogram and Revell did years ago. Many have been used by the US military as well.

In addition to what has been mentioned, I really would like to see airfield support vehicles be represented from all the Wars as well. Concentrating on fuel trucks, ground start up equip and ordinance truck carriers ect.
Thanks for listening
Flaps up,
Mike

Since I'm building almost exclusively 1/48 armor, I'd love to see some post-WW II stuff like the T-55 or Abrams. A M60 or M48 would make me very happy as well.

I think the 1/48 range is great - a real advance for us space-challenged armour modellers however, I am with Mike on the need for more allied vehicles in 1/48.

I am sure there is a real market out there for 1/48 models of vehicles such as the Churchill , Stuart, M24 Chaffee, the 76mm Sherman's and all of the other vehicles that Mike mentions.

My no.1 request - and it would not be not to difficult for Tamiya to produce, would be a British Centaur 95mm CS tank - Tamiya already make a 1/48 Cromwell and they make a 1/35 Centaur CS - come on guy's it can't be that difficult to scale down the relevant bits and produce a Centaur CS in 1/48. Please !
