What's missing for 28mm Tanks?

[carlos marighela]

A lot of these suggestions are good.  And a lot of the same are Deja Vu, as I've seen the masters for a lot of these as well  (even  the first casts! (not ours though)  I can't remember who is planning to offer them though.


I've seen these and know that there are masters out there for:
BA-10
The 8-rad stummel
WW1 Lanchester Armored Car
Kruppe Protze
Ford civilian-pattern trucks ( I have 4 or 5 Resin/metal Zis trucks in 1:56 I traded from somewhere.  Maybe it's unreleased)
Daimler Armoured Car
Marder III
sdkfz251/22
Bedford QL with alb porter
PanzerJager I
Panzer I Bison

I probably should post my 1:56 unbuilt kit, willing to trade list.  It would take me a few days to compile it though.

Old Glory do the Lanchester.

JTFM has  2 versions of the 8 rad stummel on their list along with a Marder and the Sdkfz251/22.  The half track is being remastered, suggesting an earlier iteration already out there, presumably either from the former NZ crowd or Ian Crouch. They already make the Krupp Protze.

I think Bolt Action do a PzJg I it may have been ex-Chieftain/ Ian Crouch, they bought up much of his early war stuff. They make a Protze too IIRC.

Force of Arms make a BA-6, which is pretty much a BA-10 and for the purist a turret swap is an option, commerical examples do exist. FoA also make Gaz AAs

Lledo do Ford Model A trucks that are essentially identical to the Gaz versions (it was a licensed copy)
 
Bedford QLs are available from Corgi. Expensive and 1/50. I suspect you are right about the others. As I said WW2 is a genre that's pretty well covered, for vehicles.

British Tankers in Pixie Suits, would work for practically everything in NWE WWII.

Huey D's for 'Nam

Steering rigs for British WW1 MkI tanks

Conversion kits for WW1 Model T's (stretcher bearing rigs, Water tanks, pigeon lofts, Lewis AA mounts etc.)

Modern British, WMIKs, Jackals, Vikings etc.

"Colonial wagons for this period give em the heebie-jeebies! It's like using FT17s as Panzer Is."

I sort of thought that until I started looking at the contemporary photos -- while there's a definitely "modern" wagons (metal road wheels with tyres), there's also a lot of random wooden farm wagons with big spoked wheels that look like they fell out of the Wild West and got painted cammo.

Aaah - bliss 

My favourites in particular are those with the pneumatic tyres and pressed steel bodies. They share lots of design cues with things like the pak36.

Carlos --

The OG Lanchester is 1/48 scale. I had one, and an OG Austin, but sold both because they didn't match up with 1/56 vehicles.

CoB made a 1/56 Austin. Now I'm hoping for a 1/56 Lanchester.

1/56 Crossley? When the world is flooded with cheap, beautifully cast LLedo Crossleys that scale well with 28mm figures?

They're okay. I'd prefer an actual 1/56th version, though.

Have you looked at the RR tender?

I have, yes. It's very nice indeed. But I need at least six of these:

You're in luck.  crossley has just been green lighted.  probably a mixture of 3D and regular sculpting.  I always go 3D on spoked wheels now, unless it's a towed arty piece.

So, you want the bonnet removable so you can tune the 1/56 engine or install a turbo?

If possible, I'll see if we can do some pieces modular for alternate backs. it will be a good transition, as I'm just finishing our remastered model T touring car.

How about the US T-28 superheavy TD? Why should the Germans get all the heavy metal??

And the M27!

I would like to see some attention given to some interwar vehicles that saw light of day during WW2. In particular, the Dutch, Belgian and notwithstanding a Type 92 combat car.

Cheers,

I would like to see the Churchill Bridgelayer and the sherman V with crab mine flail.
Also interesting is the German Bergepanther and the German PzIV Bridgelayer.

Our Bergepanzer III master is already with JTFM
