my favourite ww2 tank is (as you can tell from my username) is the tiger 1 preferably the late version with 007 on the turret.

Welcome aboard!

My WW II favourite(s) is a toss-up between the Ram & the Stuart.

Post war is another toss-up, the M41 Walker Builldog and the M47 Patton.

Of course, in addition to that, I also like oddball stuff. The odder it is, the more I seem to like it.

Hi Tom,

Welcome to the forum and you start by posing what must be the hardest question to answer, once you start thinking about it the more options spring to mind. I will class mine by participants - Allied and Axis - and period - Late or Early War - for WWII, I don't do modern tanks so I have no real preference, although I do like the Swedish S tank. So here we go...
Allied Early War...Cruiser Mk10
Allied Late War...Sherman Firefly
Axis Early War...Pz38t
Axis Late War...PzIV H/J (I know it's two types, but they are similar)
I also like any of the little light tanks of the other combatant countries, especially Poland and Italy.

All the best,

Paul

I always loved the M4 Sherman, even though it wasn't the best tank out there at the time. You can also throw in the Russian T34 and the German Jagdtiger for a close second

For post-war, I gotta go with the Abrams

For the WWII period, I really like the T23/M27, which of course never saw action or kitting in styrene, but would look really very nice. Post WWII, it's a toss up between the M48A3 and the M1A1.

WWII - Centurion (although it arrived too late to see action). It still amazes me that the basic design was in active service at least 40 years!
