Re: What TANK would you like Minichamps to do for their next model release?

I think there is potential to modify existing molds to do a Leopard II A5/6, Sherman Firefly, T34/85, Porsche turrent on King Tiger and Zimmerit on existing German WWII tanks. Leclerc is a great idea. What about the Challenger or Chieftain? I also like the Merkava and S-tank. Panzer III / IV, JS-2, M26 Pershing would be nice to.

Cool Re: What TANK would you like Minichamps to do for their next model release?

Just a thought, what about the Gepard with twin 35mm Oerlikons? That would be super cool!

Yes, please. I also vote for the Gepard. And then a T-62 to keep the Centurion company!

I was thinking about the likes of the T55 and T62 too but I thought that they all seem very similar.

Re: What TANK would you like Minichamps to do for their next model release?

The list of possibilities is virtually endless, with all those mentioned above being great ideas, but for me it has to be versions of the Stug III Ausf G, Comet, Firefly, Leopard II A6 or maybe...

I would just like minichamps to bring out something new on a more regular basis, instead of a repaint every few years.

Re: What TANK would you like Minichamps to do for their next model release?

I'd like to see a T-55A or T-62 with properly sagging metal tracks.

Also, I think that a retooled Tiger I would be a must (their current model is simply awful!), and that an M1A2 Abrams WITH tyres is mandatory.

British Churchill tank or Comet tank

Yeah, you best hide under a chair because the Churchill is/was about the ugliest thing on...well, however many wheels it had.

I'd have to agree with the original poster's choice of the LeClerc. My second choice would be the Flakpanzer Gepard, which would look nice alongside one of their Leopard 2's.

I also like the...S-tank.

Good choice, I'd go for that. In fact, are there any diecasts of it at all?

I've not seen an S-tank model of any sort although Altaya may make one. I'm sure one of the tank junkies will know.
