Buffaloes were also used by American, British, and Canadian troops in Northern Europe and Italy.

Probably too tricky to manage with the tracks, but would be super if the upper hull could detach for waterline moments during water crossings.

A kit that could swap between the Stuart, Jalopy, and M8 would be sweet!

If I had a choice, I'ld buy mostly brick and some plaster.
 
If I didn't have a choice I'ld buy ones that are all the same ^,^

Those would both be great!
 
A Ram/Ram Kangaroo/Ram Wasp would be a nicely versatile kit.

Do you know if those architetural styles carry over across the river Ems into Lower Saxony and around Oldenburg?  I'm hoping to make models of buildings that will be suitable for most of the Canadian Army's drive through the Netherlands and up to Oldenburg - Bad Zwischenahn

Ooh, ooh!  Whatever towed guns you might make, please design the kit so that when assembled the trails are movable and can be posed in towed and deployed position as needed during gaming.  Even if I have metal kits for guns, I would replace them with articulated plastic ones!

QF 6pdr/57mm Gun M1
Provide different Brit/US tire options

Wish Lists / Dingo/Lynx Multi-kit

« on: December 10, 2014, 02:30:15 am »

A Daimler-Dingo/Ford-Lynx multi-kit should be a popular enough kit to be worthy of consideration.
 
The Lynx is as ubiquitous in the Canadian army as the Daimler throughout the rest of Commonwealth.  I'll likely be kitbashing one this winter, but will happily buy a trio from the first manufacturer to make a bespoke kit!
 
The most notable differences are the Lynx has a higher suspension system than than the Dingo, and a longer rear engine deck.  For a multi-kit, an option to jack up the suspension and swap in a different rear should do the trick.

Dingo MkII:


Lynx:

Best photos I've found so far of the deck are from the Milicast 1/76 model (though their suspension seems a bit low):

I'ld love to see options with the front and back doors on the gabled ends of the houses.  And with various gable peaks — smooth triangles, stepped slopes, scalloped slopes.  This is the traditional look for the Netherlands — especially along the canals where we wargamers love to play house!  The style is also scattered throughout Europe.

These images are for somewhat taller buildings in Amsterdam, but the general style would work for two or more stories (insertable middle floors would be great for the models too!)
