You are of course totally correct, I mean look at all the "generic" German
things tamiya have released. Lets see, there is the Dragon Wagon, the Famo
and trailer, a jeep, Kubel and Schwimmwagen, a Cromwell, a Steyr, a Marder
3.
Granted, there are a lot of German subjects (I only model German stuff so
that suits me), but Tamiya have been ok to allied modellers as well - and
you can hardly call the list I just did generic.
