Future tank kits

Post by ArmouredModels »

Hey guys,
Ready to design a new tank kit, thinking something british. Maybe Cromwell. What do you guys suggest?

New kit from the ground up ? Or add on pieces to an existing kit for more detail or variant?

New tank all together I'd like to see a Patton tank. M48 or M60 somthing from the cold war, Korean or Vietnam era American timeframe.

For add on kits I have 3d printed E75 in mind to add to a King Tiger I have in need of restoration. Just have yet to figure out how.

For commercial success, I would recommend a tank that can be derived in multiple versions, and i agree with LordPanzer, an M60 is a top choice.

If i ever see a Cromwell available, i will buy only one. But if an M60 available, depending on price, there would probably be many builds, such as a Vietnam M60A1, Cold war M60A3, Marine corps M60A1 RISE with ERA, Israeli with Blazer, Magach 7, M60A2 starship, AVLB

How about Centurion? Used by many countries, many variants....

My vote goes to armored cars and support vehicles like a Jeep.

We are pretty well served of tanks.

Cromwell (althou it is in Hooben's plans). Crusader? Matilda? Valentine? RTR Churchill? Bishop? Archer? Armoured and scout cars?
