Ok Ripperuton,

Here is my revised selection, keeping it simple and concise:

M4A2 Sherman III

This is the basic 75mm, VVSS, welded hull version. This keeps a maximum of the exsisting parts valid so engineering and new tooling are kept to a minimum. I figure the Third party/Aftermarket guys can take care of the rest.

My Feedback: (2)

1/16 abrams

CountChocula

I know my votes won't count (starting to sound like an election!) as I'm one of the few who would vote for Semovente! (as variants of it could be made for M13/40, M11/39, and possibly some others).

My Vote:

1. PzKw 38t (Hetzer, Marders, etc. could be made of this chassis)
2. Semovente or M13/40
3. Japanese Type 97

If I could pick more... I'd choose some French models ie. S-35 Somua, Char B1 bis, Hotchkiss H-39...

Count Chocula

Italian Semovente 75/18 M40, sound good CountChocula!! But i think is too small for a 1/16 rc tank

wackywheelz

Yeah thats why I declined from having Panzer II or 38t/Hetzer in my original selections, they're just too small to incorporate the regular Tamiya parts (trying to keep it modular, maximizing part interchangeability), as the harder it is to achieve, the less likely it will be attempted.

ArmChairGeneral

I think LiPo batteries and shrinking the blackbox a little make things like the Semovente and Hetzer possible for Tamiya. I think fans of the Italian tanks are small in number despite the large role they played in the North African campaign right up to the end. They also served on the Russian front and Italy. In the end, it would be second last tank they would RC, the last would be any japanese tank :P

CountChocula

Yeah I figure it wouldn't be feasible... however, Tamiya does make other gearboxes (like the ones people are using for modding their half tracks... and I'm using the same in my FT-17) and they have a setting for light tanks on their battle system. They should simply disable this feature all together if they don't plan on producing a light tank!

<steps off soap box>!!!

Nope! Scratchbuilders option! There would be no M24 or M18.

Ripperupton

I agree that if Tamiya wanted they certainly could scale down their electronics and gearboxes in order to produce a series of light tanks and halftracks.

I am bringing this survey to a close soon, so anyone who hasn't voted or would like to modify their vote should do so in the next couple of days.

Mr Terminator

If this vote holds any sway then it looks ike it may be the Abrams at last and what a top model that will be and I can only imagine the sound of that turbine recording firing up...

My modified and final (maybe) votes are:

KV-1/2
JS-1/2

and
T-72

RR

PS: Dont't need DMF/DFM or what the heck they are called, just the tank would suits for me. I like El-Mod and Darkith gears more (sorry about that).

pcomm1

Yes, as perfect as the Tamiya DMD/TBU world is, bring back the static Tamiya 1/16 big tank series, thats how I made the jump from 1/35 armor.

Tamiya shouldn't leave out all the HL and El Mod troubled geared conversion guys either (or what the heck they are called) and the PE shelf queen and or the contest table builder types (sorry about that).

Check out this 1/16 scale static big tank series Tamiya King Tiger: http://www.naritafamily.com/Scalemod...hoto_frame.htm

Hit and sink You got it right. LOL
And about that King Tiger - that's one helluva master piece!
