Any suggestions of next model I should work on?
I have blueprints of the Hetzer. Nice little vehicle.
But also I might try something different like the T-55.

Def. Hetzer! [;)]

Hetzer! I have some tracts if you could need them.

Ditto that.

Don't you and Stridor have inside info about such things?

Nope. We only know what we read in the papers. [:)]

I was just thinking of what would make some real interesting player made scenarios rather than mark off another item that is missing from the model list. Like T-55 vs your Sherman as an Isherman.

Those Jagdpanzers I just made could be used in any scenario that a Hetzer could be used. I was going over the Hetzer plans and later Jagdpanzers are better armored than the Hetzer.

I think that a "France 40" could be an interesting mod. I like french tanks, they could be though opponents for the germans and the orders delay could work well. In this mod it could be possible add also british tanks (Mathildas are ready).

Steve and I tried that and multi turret AFVs are a problem.

Do you mean the Char B1? There are a lot of other tanks with just one gun in the turret, Somua S35, H35/H39/H40, R35. However we could use the B1 with just the 47 mm in turret, the 75 mm had only 7 APHE shells. There is no manner to simulate the anti-infantry fire of the 75 mm with HE shells as a very, very heavy MG?

I'd suggest:

Hetzer
Nashorn
StuH 42
T-50

How about something less functional more flavoursome like a crashed bf109 or stuka. Put the smoke particle on it and you have another piece of cool bling for the maps?

Mobius, if you do decide to do a vehicle model, choose a hard one, since you know how to do this and leave the easy ones like Hetzer, modding other models guns etc to those bringing up the rear here.

The intricate open top Nashorn can, once done, do double duty as a hummel or launching point for new hummel model.

I'm not pressuirng you, mind. `I'm just saying is all.

And you might take a break for while after just doing the Jagds and tinkering with the PIIs (then come back and do a difficult one ;->).

Anybody has any four-views drawings?

You might find some info here

Mobius,

I aloways enjoy starting the war on the East Front in 1939. Any chance of some Polish Armor?

Hetzer for me.

sIG 33 variants would be pretty high on my wish list. Also any remaining Soviet assault guns (not sure what SU variants need to be filled out).

I’ve been avoiding making any vehicles with very light armor like the Grille or Nashorn because of the smallness of the maps. As when they get hit by anything they tend to blow up.

It would be best if all the French or Polish vehicles were handled at once in a supplement rather than just one and done model.

Good point on doing a set, rather than one -offs.

I found this over in the JTCS forum ...

Also what about the 2963TH Turin Lambretta Mounted Recoiless Rifle Brigade??

Mobius,

Someone started a motorcycle a while back, but I don't see that it was ever finished.  That would be a good addition to a recon element, although I think that you'd have to also model a new infantry pose in order to use it (unless you can re-use the guy that drives the SdKfz 251).  It'd be pretty cool (from a scenario options perspective) if you could pull it off.

For the Soviets, have you considered:
- Su-85 (for tank destroyer brigade)
- US M3 Halftrack (lend-lease)
