Thanks, Jim, for the Mail Call videos. They are pretty informative and entertaining, but "are you on drugs?!" Kidding... But you did say something that got my attention. "Takom, no!" You asked Takom to stop making so many variations of their WW1 tanks. Really? Are we really on overload for WW1 tanks? It's great that a few companies are finally putting out some nice stuff in WW1. Let them go nuts! We've been inundated with WW2 and modern stuff for as long as I can remember. WW1 is by far in the minority. I think we can stand a few more variations. After all, tanks were a new thing back then. There weren't really that many varieties. Takom, Meng, etc. will run out of subjects soon enough. For now, I'm enjoying the kits!

Thanks,
George

Hi George,
Fair point. There has been a rather large void in WWI tanks and vehicles until recently. And Takom have done a number of different kits and time periods as well. I certainly applaud them for doing the Chieftains.

Cheers,
Jim

I think you should send a few of those Tiger track links to all the Contributors at Armorama, so they can build them as a virtual "knitting circle"!

My hat's off to anyone willing to build them for the site. Of course this may be the first-ever sample that has to come with a voucher for therapy sessions...
