2006 is essentially over. MRC finally got us the Shermans (include the M4A3E8 !) and 12.8 German self propelled gun, which may be the last of the 1/72 stuff for the year. Now the questions is what will 2007 releastically bring us? I don't mean what would we like to see, but what will we actually have a chance at getting. Here are my questions/possibilities:
1. Will IXO release their tanks in the US? Yeah, so of their stuff is lacking, but they make a lot that others don't.
2. Will Dragon finally release the Brumbar and Stug III? I think I saw a picture of their Stug III on a milk carton!
3. Will Hobby Master actually release some 1/72 as they have announce and if so, when will see it?
4. When will Admiral Toys follow up on their Panzer III's? I think they are going to show their stuff at the February toy show. They have a lot of stuff announced such as a Crusader, M-10, Type 97, SU-85, and the German 88.
5. What MRC Easy Model tanks will be released next that are in their catalog? And when? I am hoping for their KV-1 and KV-2 to be next!
6. Any new releases from Forces of Valor? And I am not talking about repaints! Although, I would love to see the Grant in the traditional US colors.

We definitely need more Sovient armor. The 1:72 collection is so one-sided Germans...

I'm really excited about 2007.

I'm especially looking forward to Hobby Master's Cromwell (Brit armor!) and KV, Admiral's Pz. III w/schurzen, M10, SU-85, and artillery, and more allied Shermans, KV's, and T-34s from Easy Models, plus whatever goodness FOV has in store. I'm guessing they will come out with a non-rocket version of the 251 due to its 2006 popularity.

More soviet armour please, no repeats (like tons of Dragon T-34's) just lots of variety and exciting new stuff. No more TIGERS - ever, I mean how many can one person really need ?

Hobby Master will release their 1/72 KV-1 and KV-2 in March along with their Cromwell.

Good news on the Cromwell and KV's in March! Bigger question is when Easy Model will release their 15 announced Tiger E's.
