    Great job on the Sherman. Can I make a very small comment that with the next production, you make the tank commander have tanker's boots. I have served on every make of tank from 1968 thru 2004. M48 through M1A1 and we wore that kind of boot. Thanks again for a great kit for us modelers'.

    The small satchels with 2 straps are M1936 Musette Bags, issued to Officers and others in lieu of the M1928 Marching Pack. The smaller single strapped bags are M-1 General Purpose Bags, will hold a full 200rd .30 Cal Can, or about 6 rifle grenades, or whatever the Joe wanted. The 3 strap large rolls are M1935 Bedding Rolls, usually issued to Officers, others scrounged, stole or cumshawed them, you see them hung all over tracked and wheeled M series vehicles.

    Andy, I'v watched you a couple of years now. I've watched you grow your company. And I'm truly happy for your success. I've noticed you're going big with the 1/16 scale models. I'm sure you will be successful. I would like to make one suggestion, since you're producing your own models in a sense. One type of models you don't see and I wish there were more out there is 1/35 scale WW II airplane models. All you can really find are 1/32 scale. I've collected a lot of 1/35 scale armour. I for one, wish I could find the same scale in planes. Just a suggestion. If anyone could do this, it could be you. Thank you for your time. Continued success in all your endeavors.

      @DavidRLentz 2 года назад +1

      1:35th scale is explicitly a ground military scale that Tamiya I initiated in the 1970s. The company's tanks were simpler, and motorized, befitting the preferences of their customers of the time. From what I have read, the improvements, accuracy, details, etc., had not begun till the mid-1980s. Better tooling in mold making reached consumers in the mid-1990s.
      I know of no kits of WWII fixed-wing aircraft kits in 1:35th scale. I have seen a few contemporary U.S. Army helicopter kits: Academy's Sikorsky CH-60 Blackhawk. Kangnam's Hughes AH-64D Apache Longbow. Trumpeter's Boeing Vertol CH-47 Chinook.
      We have a few dozen 1:32nd-scale kits of combat aircraft, most of older molds. Trumpeter recently made several, though some of these suffered from design errors. Tamiya has issued a number, which from all I have heard are exemplary! Their pricing would be high, though.
      I am no expert. This is just what I have read.

    I see lots of pics with the windshield down and a bazooka across the hood. Also, small arms (M1 and Thompson) in scabbards are common on Jeeps.
    Personally, I would like to put a captured MG-42 (on sandbags) on the hood of mine for the passenger.
    Can't wait for your next release. IMHO, the new German KF51 Panther tank would be sick. Cheers.
