so far I have built 3 Shermans (and 3 more to go) so that's what I voted for...

close second is the Abrams (having built 2 and another one soon).

You did not have what I have built the most of, Stuarts. But, Pattons are my second most.

I have never built armour, but I would like to sometime do a M-1 Abrams, or a US tank from the Vietnam era, whatever they used then.

My armor builds are dominated by modern soviet/russian armor (and ww2 soviet armor). I also build WW2 German and other modern vehicles (British, Israeli and Chinese).

I enjoy building all kinds of tanks, because of the variety and the fact that you can do so much to them or add to them. Most of the tanks and AFV's that I build end up going to my dad. I just finished my 4th or 5th M48A3 Patton, his tank in Nam with the 11th Cav, for his birthday. I like German WWII tanks a little more because of the huge variety even within the same vehicle model.

I know Robert is gonna want my head on a platter, and I am very embarrassed to say it as well. I have yet to build a Sherman. Always go to buy one but then see some cool new kit that must be bought instead. Maybe someone will get me one for my birthday since I can't seem to stick to what I say I'm gonna buy when I leave the house.

I'm not into re-building what I've allready built. At least not for now. There are a few kits I'll do again, as there are a few things I'd like to retry. BUt for now, I have too many things I didn't build yet, which will take presedence.

Oh MONRAD,
By definition, a "tank" is any fully tracked AFV with a turret mounted large caliber weapon system designed to be employed in combat to defeat the enemy by maneuver, firepower and tactics when used in combination with air support, artilllery and infantry (read Blitzkreig, or more recently Combined Arms Operations).

I guess I haven't seen this one before. I've never built more than 1 of anything, so I guess I'll vote for the one I'd most like to build. I'd love to get my hands on a nice Centurion that I could build into a Canadian version.

I really like the mean look of the tiger one but I really really like the lighter German stuff.
Marders, SdKfz 251's and 11s, opel blitzs, sdkfz 222......... the list goes on. but when I build a tank, I like something that is heavy and powerful looking, like a tiger.

I can only think of one that I would like to build, again. The Ontos. Is that spelled right?
I built one years ago as a kid. The Marine Corp Reserve unit in the town where I was born and raised had them and I thought that they were just neat!!!
