Wish Lists / For the new Vietnam line - helicopter passengers

« on: August 26, 2021, 12:53:19 pm »

Looking at all the great figures in the upcoming Vietnam line, I’m sure M113 passengers and tank riders (both US and PAVN) are on the drawing board.  I wanted to suggest, however, that passengers for the UH-1 - sitting on the floor, feet dangling above the skids - be considered for possible development.

Cheers,

General Discussions / Pewter Figure Line Expansions?

« on: June 22, 2021, 01:54:20 am »

Hi All - I recently assembled a bunch of the US pewter figures and really like the result.  They look great, and I really appreciate the anatomically correct scale rather than the "heroic scale" some other companies use. 

I was wondering if there are plans to expand these pewter lines to include US figures using the BAR (I know there is a single figure in the at-ease set, but was hoping for a more "in the field" kind of pose), and perhaps a bazooka team, an M1919 team, etc.  Same sort of question for the German line - any plans for a bipod-mounted version of an LMG or figures in combat poses with MP40s?

Many thanks,

Wish Lists / M48A3 with Options

« on: February 05, 2021, 12:33:16 am »

Since you've jumped into the Vietnam era, the M48A3 with 90mm gun would be a good companion piece to the proposed M113 kit as well as the proposed (plastic or resin) M551 Sheridan. 

One of the great aspects of your kits are the options you include.  In this case the options could include the following: USMC flame-tank version of the M48A3, the 105mm-gunned M48 that was present in US forces in Europe, and the 105mm-gunned M48 as used by the Israelis (different commander's cupola). 

Not only would an M48 kit enable US Armored Cavalry actions in Vietnam (the Sheridan didn't deploy to Vietnam until 1969), but it would open up the Arab-Israeli wars since you already have (or will soon have) the M113 and the M3 half-track in your line (you could do a bonus sprue with M3 weapons / cargo specific to Israeli use).  Of course adding the Israelis would lead to adding post-war Soviet kits for the Arab forces - but that's another wish-list altogether.
