The LVT4 was produced in much larger quantities and largely superceded the '2.

Force on Force is the market leader. Technicals are readily available in other materials but we are crying out for a Mastiff MRAP. Hint - Empress confirm they have no plans to make one now that we are out of Afghanistan.

Broom bristles are a viable alternative and have the advantage of being flexible.. Just don't mention why you are suddenly so keen to do the sweeping.

Much as I'd like to see a model of something like the Morris, I think the starting point should be a GMC 2/12 ton 6x6 and an Opel Blitz.  The GMC could come with both the enclosed and soft top cab, and the Opel could come with both early and late versions of the cab.  I think these would be the most useful models to start with.

Agreed.

Hi SP, I have been using solvent adhesive for 30+ years and EMA Plastic Weld for quite a few of those. It is an acquired taste but I like it for control. Hold the parts together and touch a loaded brush to the joint. Capillary action will draw the liquid into the joint with no mess. If you get it on an outside surface just let it dry naturaly. If you wipe it then it will mark the surface. Fingers have the same problem so be sparing. It does work well with ABS plastics.

The 300 year old farmhouse shows another possibility.With a little planning these can be backdated into other wars/time periods. WW1, Franco-Prussian, Napoleonic etc. Expands the market.

I like the idea of a few 'feature' models that can be also used to individualise the generic ones. It's very easy to fall into the 'rows of boxes' look although I understand that individuality would add cost.

Will this include any crew such as gunners?

We simply do not have the extra resources to do figures at this moment.  We might introduce crew/driver in future releases but our hands are tied now!  Sorry!

I understand. Is there any mileage in partnering with a whitemetal manufacturer to provide extras? Possibly one of your existing distributors.

Nice to know that plastic trucks are being considered. I know what I would like to see at some point is a kit to represent the trucks used by the LRDG. I can imagine that to be a fun little modeling project.

That's good to hear Mr Rubicon. How about adding a jeep to the list? They come out very expensive in metal or resin. They suit US British and I am note sure if Russia got lease lend ones or they just used homemade ones. There are lots of specialist variants and saw many theatres.

You Need al Lot of request? Ok how many?
I think there is no producer for 28mm E8 and Jumbo tank. Your team can become the first one

+1 There are interminable versions of the earlier versions but absolutely zero for the E8 and Jumbo. Whether they are worth tooking in plastic is another matter but they would corner the market (unless it changes).
