If you're interested in the P-1000, you'll like this:

That website was exactly the reason why I asked if the proposal was serious...
 
It would be even bigger in 1/56! I seriously doubt that it would be able to sell!

We should also all re-read the 1st posting from Brent. Quote: "No German vehicles please"

Cory, thanks for that  I was completely unaware of them.

It is just a  shame that thye dont have any pictures of thier products as they seem to do some quite interesting stuff......

I can only recommend FoA. Very good models and great service.
But I have to agree that it is royal pain to not have pics on their site!

Black Prince and Conqueror tanks for the Brits please

[Trysop]

Agis, Thanks for the pictures of the FoA vehicles, all I can say is very nice vehicles and very nice painting! I have been enjoying wandering about your site having a look

I was not aware FoA even existed, which is a shame for me as I saw they make Panhard AML 60?s and 90?s, which I have wanted for a wee while now but didn?t think were in production I could use them as is and I think they would double up as an Eland or just take a little modification to make them spot on.

This is why I love LAF, there is always something new to look at and want to buy

Black Prince and Conqueror tanks for the Brits please

Wasn't the A43 Black Prince basically a ?Super-Churchill? prototype?
(Churchill VII  replacing the 75mm tank gun with a 17 pdr. Gun)
So why not a simple conversion? Or was the turret that different?

[Justizius]

Uh, sorry CompanyB I overread the part with noch german tanks.

A bit different in the hull and details (longer and wider hull, extra set of roadwheels etc.). Different turret too (plus mantlet cover).

A great thread here:

Greetings

vehicles doesn't mean solely tanks, right??

I'm still looking for good choppers for Vietnam Scenarios. So I wouldn't mind different helicopters.
Now speaking of *weird* war, what about some "early" helicopters-type vehicles ? Something the Engineers could have bolted together at around the same time they built those "alternate Powersuites" from other Weird/Alternate WW Games.

Oh, and I thank for the links posted. I just browsed the informations available for the P-1000. That would be a kind of *Monster* indeed. But if one of those would be made, I can't say I wouldn't buy it. So, there.

But I would still be interested in UH-1B's or H-1C's

[CompanyB]

Wow...that would be one big tank.  Perhaps $1000 per kit?  Just think how much mold material it would require to cast it?!  Perhaps a van form model...

The Reason for no German tanks in the thread is, that quite frankly... I'm already working on a few of them! So I wanted to give the allies something to even the odds a little...

All very good suggestions though!   The Black Prince would be an option, since it is just a new turret.  though I'd probably have JTFM market that one if I built one.

What about other axis tanks?  Japanese?

Hmmm. British drilling machine?
