Well,
imho Track-Link is around AFV in the first place and everything that goes around it is appropriate to me.
The ELCO is for sure a great kit. But for me it has nothing to do with Land war. The BR52 was one of the workhorses that enabled the german Wehrmacht to move from one place of action to another (what often suprised their opponents). The Piper, the Chinook, they are all fine for this site (imagine a howitzer unloading out of a chinook, a Piper crash site, the possibilities are endless.
But fighter planes, jets, spaceships have little to do with AFV.
SciFi, why not? There are quite a few scifi universes based on AFV (S.F.3.D, Maschinenkrieger, Battletech) and there are some great kits coming from Japan. Imagine that Griffin (only the head visible in the pic) in 1:35 scale...i am waiting for the shadowhawk, the Marauder, the Shootist and the Warhammer to form a Lance of the Grey Death Legion....i am dreaming.
I am visiting the site for the AFV stuff, i love to see military stuff like the related material like the choppers, that were used with the ground troops, the Landing crafts that brought tanks ashore but i am not interested in the 707 that brought the troops to Nam.
I do not know how you other guys think but i am interested.

The scales, well i am building 1:35 armor, 1:48 aircraft (mainly Prop, a few Jets) but i will not touch 1:72 or 1:48 kits. I just do not need them because i have enough stuff in 1:35. |
