What's your favorite WWII Armour

Post by fly1ngdutchm4n »

Seeing a lot of awesome builds of almost everything, I was wondering what your favorite WWII armour is.

My favorite is the Tiger-1 no doubt! :mrgreen:

So, What is your favorite WWII armour?

I am quite a fan of the M10 series of tank destroyers, maybe not the best design in the world, not hugely resilient to enemy fire. but with the slanted turret and long gun they look pretty mean, at least the British 17pdr Achilles does!

My tastes are pretty specific, Early(ish) and german. Pz I II III and IV, nothing newer than that really.

My favourate of all has to be the StuG though

Phil, silly question you have probably had many times over the years. Are you related to the actual Sir Winston Churchill?

Tricky question and I'm not sure of the answer. Some in the family say definitely yes, some say wishful thinking but some have traced our family tree way back to the same village in North Devon so it's possible.

For me it's the Sherman. So many different types about and I love the look of them. Got about 10 to build in my stash! Need to pull my finger out.
