1/76th military vehicles please


Mad for it

Recommended Posts

I would love to see the following in 1/76th scale or even just one of them.

Landing craft assault to go with commando and D-Day products.

Redo M4 Sherman as it is way too old and outdated. An M4A3 would be nice, but even a new M4 would be most welcome.

An Archer 17pdr would be most welcome and a fantastic looking model in 1/76th.

A 2pdr portee on Canadian Military Pattern ford. With desert clothed crew.

Panzer 3 with short 5cm to fight the Grants.

Finally an up date for the Lee/Grant including new turret and desert sand shields with some stowage and command figure.

Well this is my wish list.

I am a wargamer and have been since the days of the Airfix Infantry Combat Group so I have a lot of models already. Any of the CMP type cab trucks in 1/76 would be very useful.  Also the Horch or Steyr heavy military cars. A later PzIV say G or H would be nice.  My artillery is poorly served and new models would be most appreciated -  15cm sFH-18 howitzer, 8.8cm PaK-43 anti-tank gun,  3.7" HAA gun, Sexton , Wespe, Hummel SP Guns.

Maybe Airfix could do sets with tank and gun crew, stowage, including jerry cans, boxes and tools, and small scenario elements. As Airfix don't have miniboxes, could be for each front, including two or three nations. Some nations may be represented more than once, but these also have more diversified uniforms and gear. These sets could also be compatible with other brands and guess will be hot sellers.

I have a long wish list of 1/76 military vehicles! However, I think I would most like to see an accurate German Panther Tank. Preferably an Ausf. A version. None of the three injection molded versions available in 1/76 are particularly good, and the Airfix one is, IMHO the worst kit Airfix makes.

Another big gap in 1/76 is the German Sdkfz 251 Ausf. D. Armored Halftrack. This was the most numerous production version and very different from the early versions offered by Matchbox and Fujimi. Almost all the 251 in Normandy would have been Ausf. D. This would also provide opportunity for all kinds of specialist variants...

On the British side, there would seem a lot of opportunity for armored cars like the Daimler A/C, Staghound and Morris Light Reconnaissance Car.
