The Interwar Vehicle Wish List

[Mainly28s]

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).

Cool page about it: http://derela.republika.pl/tk.htm

Bolt Action had one in 1:56th. I don't know if Warlord still sell it (they continually take stuff off the list to "re-master" it).

By 're-master', do you mean; take it away, get someone else to make a similar model and then put it back up for sale hoping nobody remembers that the original was better?

I have Bolt Action's.  It could be improved and enlarged - a lot.

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.

Warlord makes one I think.

[Arlequín]

Warlord makes one I think.

AFAIK They make the Mk.VI (B&C), the Mk.II looks like this:



The Indian Pattern was a little different, but I didn't have a pic of one of those to hand.

Yup, they make the MkVI,  a very different tin can.

Tke your pick.

Light Tank Mk II India pattern (Mk II B). The basic difference is a small non rotating cupola atop the turret.

[carlos marighela]

Of course the best photo of a Mk II is the of a standard version with unusual additions. This looks like a Top Gear project gone wrong ( right?)

[carlos marighela]

Then you have the Mk IV India Pattern

Being cute and in action in Waziristan.

I'd like a Belgian T13 tank destroyer.
They were pretty numerous in 1940 (about 340 of them) As they were based on a British Carden Lloyd tractor
they could turn up in VBCW. They were also briefly used by SS units (repainted in panzer grey)

I think there is one in 15mm, as far as i know nothing in 20mm (early war makes a mark VI version of which only 6 were made)
I think Ian Crouch made a green for a 28mm version

[carlos marighela]

Retrokit made one in 20mm / 1/72

Can I re-emphasise that the purpose of the thread is to highlight what is not available. 

[CompanyB]

Splendid Thread...and I will be watching this.  How about a WW2 and Cold war one too?

If you mosey over to our site, you can see what's been modeled already.  But these small tankettes are fun to do.

India pattern...yes.  I should get on that one...

Cold War I can do, but WW2 is Tank Girl territory and she's not a woman to be crossed, especially as it's the sort of thread that potentially requires a fair bit of moderator input to keep things clear and usable. The member input for WW2 is potentially massive too. 

For a Cold War list, it's actually easier to say what has been made, which we've started to do. I say we, Carlos is doing it and I'm just polishing the brass work. 

I'll start it over the weekend though, but it's likely to keep you busy for a few years to come Brent.
