I don't know if the Renault FT tank and Christie T3 are availabe, but consider that the remaining kits can easily be found today, I think model companies are doing quite fine. Smile [:)]

Sign - Ditto [#ditto]

Very broad-ranging list. I guess it's a tribute to how far the industry has come since those days.
But I'm sure that anyone else's list, today, would be just as varied.

My thoughs exactly. I don't know when the M10 first came out but I do know that the ones that are out aren't that old and the same goes for the Honey.

That sure is an eclectic group of armor. I wonder what today's poll would look like?

What a Modeler Wants
Posted by RAF120 on Monday, April 12, 2004 7:45 PM
While cleaning the other day I found a very old issue of Scale Modeler, Feb/Mar 1967 and in it was was the results of a survey. The survey was to fine out what kits today's modeler would like to see produced and I though I would share what they had listed as far as armor went. Now my scope and history of armor kits are very limited, but I would hate to think that I takes 30yrs to get a kit produced.

8th place- Russian T/34 67.
the note along with it says Only model of this type is T/34 85mm gun by Revell, which is no longer in production
7th place- Christie T3 Tank
6th place- Renault FT tank WWI
5th place- British Mk.1 "Mother" variation which first appeared on Somme in 1916
4th place- American M-10 Tank Destroyer
3rd place- German half track armored personnal carrier sd.Kfz 250/1
2nd place- General Grant with 75 mm gun
1st place- General Stuart M3A1 light tank used by British in western desert and christened "Honey"

I got a chuckle out of the fact that you could get a 1/50th scale (that seemed to be a popular scale) Tiger I or a Patton tank for $1.00
