My last AFV was a Tamiya Cromwell, a very nice kit of one of Britain's better wartime AFV designs, although that's not such a great compliment when you look at competition like the Crusader and Valentine! I loved the T34, probably the most influential tank design ever, a true masterpiece, it is still in service around the world, I saw quite a few T34/85's in the former Yugoslavia, it looks strange to see such an old design alongside a T72 in the same army. My own favourites to model were the Panther, Tiger, Royal Tiger, T34 and Pz 4, although I built quite a few Sherman's and various other stuff too, like halftracks and trucks, artillery etc. You're right about the DAK veichles being another tricky one to get right! I built a couple of Dragon's "what might have been" models like the Mouse and the super Panther, nice in a collectioneven if they were never built in real life. I guess one day I'll build some more, but I just don't have space at the moment, also I like building the models as parts of diorama's which takes even more space. We are spoiled for choice, companies like Italeri, Tamiya and Dragon make wonderful models in 1/35, in fact I've been tempted a few times to use the Academy Minicraft 1/35 UH60Blackhawk helicopter along with some Dragon modern US army figure sets to make a diorama, I can think of a few nice possibilities there
Take care,
