What do we want, what do we really really want?

OK

Let me try in "English" (not American, which is what makes the world speak English). I could try my native Gaelic, but I have maybe two or three phrases (if that).

But what is missing? What can we not find? What would we kill for?

I finally got a Dodge Weapons carrier via eBay for 20x the original price. I today paid for a Dragon M4A3 76 VVSS and will have to wait two months for delivery. I am happy (very)

I today decided I need a third M3A3 from Mirage (I do have the new Braillestrike transfers  for 501eme RCC) via eBay

But what is impossible to find?

An M8HMC, an M8 Armoured Car, an M20 Scout car, an M5 Half Track (not an M3 not an M9, I mean with a curved back and the different front guards for La Nueve)......

I read reviews. "This is Esci's/Italeris's/Dragon's finest model" But guess what? "Out of stock"

Every kind of German tank, even those never actually made. Even fantasy stuff.

But not the real thing used by 2eme DB

I feel better now. I needed to have a good complain...in English

Is the M8 so fifficult to find ??
I have the Italeri one on my shelves . I bought it when it costs nothing ,I think that now it's like "gold"

I have the Alby resin kit too ........

They must hope for a reissue ...
Revell does it a lot less italery.
one day can be

At the same time, the 2nd French armored division of 1944 is undoubtedly not the most economically promising subject at the international level. Arriving "late" in Normandy, it does not then operate on the most publicized fronts (Lorraine, Alsace, pockets of the Atlantic). As for the liberation of Paris, it is a symbolic event which mainly interests .... only the French ...and it's even worse for the first French army.

Hello, Liam,

it is sometimes good for morale to lament.
But don't we have placards full of boxes to build?

Good luck with your research and your hopes   ...

I have ask the question to Italeri ,waiting for answer ...............

That could be very interesting. I hope Italeri will reply.

It is true about the boxes in the attic. I now have an M8 and M10 TD in 1/35, and in 1/72 two Heller M4A2s, the Dodge 3/4 ton truck, a Dragon M4A3 76, another M3A3, an M32 ARV all waiting to be opened and join my 2eme DB collection! This is not mentioning hundreds (literally hundreds) of 28mm metal Napoleonic figures needing painting.

Italeri answer :

" Ciao. Thank for your comment about it. We will evaluate with great care. "

So wait and see ..................

That is a very hopeful response. Their M20 and M8 got very good reviews when they moved over from Esci. Thanks very much. Maybe, in a few days I will also ask them........pour encourager les autres?

Yes ask them, more we will be more they will do.....

Brilliant. I will and let us hope.

I am not sure why I did not think of doing that before...............

It is my age
