The Interwar Vehicle Wish List

[Arlequín]

As we have had a few threads appear over time, asking for particular, if somewhat obscure vehicles and that we do have the odd 'resin baron' about, I thought it might be good to have a thread just for things we would like to see and from which prospective manufacturers could take ideas and perhaps some idea of numbers who want them from.

Brief Rules:

1) It has to be a real vehicle, not necessarily anything more than a prototype, but there do have to be photos and/or plans etc. for someone to work off. It would be great if you could actually include a photo along with your suggestion too.  

2) It can be any scale, but clearly identify which scale you are interested in.

3) Try and include a small amount of description (made by, wars used in etc). It helps people research the vehicle if they choose to have a go at it.

4) It must not already be in production in the scale requested. Mistakes are inevitable though, so where there is one available to buy, I'll edit the post to indicate this. If a suggestion is posted and you know where there is one available, don't hesitate to point this out!

If people want, I'll happily make this a sticky.

Probably not what you're after, but I'd like to see more interwar folk on bicycles - they were pretty much ubiquitous, but apart from 1st corps WW1 minis and Resistance types, no-one does them to my knowledge.

The same could be said for motorbikes.

Light Tank Mark II, Indian pattern. Iconic British light tank saw service on the NW Frontier. Just the ticket for for a good Bugles and a Tiger game. I think Company B had one planned but I'm not sure of its status.

A Birch gun. The world's first SP AA/AT gun mounted on a Vickers Medium tank chassis. Would go a treat with the Copplestone (ex HLBS) Vickers Mediums.

T-19, The first indigenous Soviet tank and one that saw action against the Chinese in the late 1920s. They were still in use as pill boxes at the German invasion of the USSR in 1941. Whilst we are at it, the T-24, the medium counterpart to the T-19 for some what if games.

Fiat 3000, Yes I know it's an an easy convert from an FT-17 but why not, they saw a decent amount of service.

Oh and a Strindsvagen L-60 so that some day I can play the 1965 Invasion of the Dominican Republic and so that our Swedish friends can crunch through barns with somewhat more impressive tanks.



(Mod) Hope you don't mind me dropping this in here.

They're technically vehicles... so why not?  

Motorcycles in particular are very poorly served unless they are German ones and as we know, Triumphs are better.

I try to make myself useful occasionally.

Poland had a really cool TKS tankette.  Lots of character.

There's one in about 20mm size but I'd really like to see a larger one, ideally in 1/48 or at least 1/56 (28mm).  I prefer the 1/48 because the bigger, bulkier minis tend to come out more that size.

I'd like to be able to put any mini's head or shoulders poking out of the hatch.  Cannot do that with the smaller, existing one (trust me, I've tried).

I am a fan of seeing the Strindsvagen L-60, and an M-1 combat car.

Shapeways do an M1 Combat Car IIRC.

I second motorcycles...An Brough Superior would be lovely.

I'm still pining for a Skoda PA II Zelva, preferably in 1:48 or 1:56.  A classic in interwar modernist design.

Oooohhhhh.

I'm pretty sure that there are TKS tankettes available already: IIRC Black Tree Design does one as do Warlord Games (two variants). So as wishes go, yours has already been granted.

Try Company B as well.
