Default Tanks and Upgrades on Your Wishlist...

Ok, so what tanks or upgrades are on your wishlist?

My wishlist has the Tamiya Pz4 on it. and an rc Tamiya Kubelwagen. I probably am not making enough noise about these for Santa to have noticed though. Maybe I'll treat myself if Santa falls through...

Upgrades...

DT's Idler upgrade for my Tamiya Panther.
A pair of T-81 Perhing tracks.

I wish I would finish my KT/Elmod conversion. And a Tamiya Sherman, either to leave it the way it is, once I get one, or mix and match the mato upper hull onto tamiya lower.

Cheers,
Wade

I'm waiting on DT's Idler upgrade for my Tamiya Panther too ... and Jagdpanther.

No tank stuff for me this year, I have too much waiting on me right now. After Christmas I am saving up for a Tamiya KV-2 and get the HL tanks for my Profiline conversion kits.

My eyes are way too big for my financial arrangement.

I have decided to put a Tamiya Sherman on hold so that is staying on the wishlist...
Add Thunder 1 to the Tiger as well as DBC-DBU battle system snd flash/recoil to make it complete....someday it will be done...I hope
That's all for now.

Although I can't afford it now I want to do a Tiger Metal Hull.

I am building TIGER 312 of the 505th. Have to wait till the next one for the metal hull. This one will be Elmod, and as many bells and whistles as I can add. I want this one to even smell like a Tiger. I want this to have working everything. I want folks to look at this TIGER and say "Wow, that's a Tiger!"

I'm waiting on DT's Idler upgrade for my Tamiya Panther too ... and Jagdpanther.
He is making ones for the Panther. I have been using his ones for the Tiger1 and they work great.

As for tanks not this time at least. Want to finish my Panther D. Kinda got side tracked with the Mato Sherman.
Maybe the Matorro half track would be nice

Yeah, I meant to say I'll be using Tiger 1 idler upgrade, but said for the Panther instead.  I'm running the Tiger set in my JP.  Seems, the Panther needs it to be reliable in rocky soil.  Found out the hard way, you could say.  Sheared the axle on the left side 2 battles ago.

I've got both the new Mato Sherman and the soon to be released HL Panther on my wishlist....and my wife ordered one of them- I just don't know which. I'll have to make an upgrade list soon....my birthday is in February and I am working on a King Tiger, still have a Bulldog waiting for mods and IR upgrade, and will have either another Sherman or a Panther to start from scratch on. I'll need to make up a list of needed parts for all of them and give them to my wife.

My wife has a great philosophy on my tanks...all she asks is "which tank will keep you busy for the longest?"- this way she has the most time to play the XBox 360. She's hooked on Assasin's Creed and is hoping for AC2 for Christmas, along with a bunch of other ones. It's a win-win situation!

Been there, done that. Ate a couple hardened steel gears too.
As far as my wish list, I too have about 6 jobs backed up, maybe more. Enough to carry me thru the winter and then some, so haven't asked Santa for anything. Besides, I would probably just get the obligatory lump of coal anyway. Come to think of it, mayhap a particular turret.....grin.

The Santa Wish List includes the following stuff:

1. 2 sets of ETO (on Lend Lease for all the nice things the USA did for Russia during WWII, LOL) gear reduction units and 4 Graupner Speed 400 Motors for my Panther & Jagd
2. Matorro half track
3. Mato Sherman
4. An ETO great deal and or Lend Lease opportunity on Impact T-81 tracks, sprockets & P1045 Decal set; Pershing. 8 Arm.Div. A Co. 18 Tank Batt. Bomen 1945: for my 2/3rd finished Pershing
5. Tamiya KV-2 & TBU
6. Tamiya King Tiger & TBU plus all the DT and Impact goodies
7. Jeff legally establishes in court that Nev is a real life Monty Python UK twit

That should cover Christmas 2010 and 6 or 7 to follow.

I pretty much went naughty over nice for 2009 and had a pretty good time too, so I don't expect to much more than 1 lump of coal from the same mine that is delivering Bob's.

My wish list has the Tiger 1 idler upgrade for both my HL Pantiger and Tiger1. The new HL Panther G is at the top of the ‘new tank acquisition list’, but may have to wait for funding commitments to clear the Appropriations Board first.

Cheers, Bob

It's a toss up between the Matorro King Tiger, and the HL Panther G. I probably won't get either though, because I'm stll working on my Tiger andPershing.

What I would really like is more modeling time so I can complete the four projects I already have in the shop; Tamiya Panzer IV, Tamiya Sherman M4A3 (75)W (Bastogne platoon, need to finish electronics and details when Craig has finished the camo), Mato Sherman M4A1 (76)W (install FO Tamiya Pershing electronics then repaint/detail), Tamiya Tiger 1E (late) with all the mods.

This should keep me going until the end of spring…

My wish was to recover the tank that had gone MIA over the last 4 days.. The Super Tank is now secure in the RSEA Army Ordnance Depot and will start preparation for its epic first battle against its DAK opponents.

Dugster and especially Squid, if your counting on a new "green" tank to shoot at, you may be kind of disappointed... After all, who says it has to be "green"? [8D]
