I do love surprises and new TANKS, but I hope you will consider building some trucks. We all have lot of tanks (I am at ten with a T-34 on the way for 11). What I think we need are a few trucks for convoys and a half track. jot

No, Puma. German Puma! It has "wheels".

Okay. I'll STOP.....,

Trucks...whatever...more tanks.

How about a corrected M26 Pershing with metal hull, torsion suspension and metal swing arms and road wheels (with bearings)? That would be awesome! Oh...and add the M46, too. Or, an Easy 8 Sherman (76) would be cool. I think that covers US armor. Modern armor would be cool, but...

Oh...does this mean that you'll have your 360 turret kits for upgrading existing Taigen and HL tanks? (that's probably more realistic )

Or a basic upgrade...metal installation plate for the brass and steel gearboxes to go into the plastic hulls. RCTankWars offered this until Phil passed away. It seems like a simple thing to mass produce and would be a great reliability upgrade.

Hanomag was a manufacturing company like ford, they built a number of vehicles so it would be hard to guess what it is you want

Bob refers to ANY German halftrack as a "Hanomag". Just one of his lovable little quirks. Don't try to correct it, my friend, we like Bob just the way he is.

I picked up a set of metal swing arms and wheels with tires for a Pershing, from Hobby raw. I haven't got around to installing them yet.

I am guessing this surprise is going to be an accessory that goes across the spectrum of Taigen tanks,

It’s a good job he hasn’t heard of Demag otherwise no one would have a clue what he was talking about, there is nothing lovable about being confused.
