Also the other writer wrote (Merkava 3,Achzarit...) those would be really cool to see as well Rick
Bean 0 post 27-Jan-2003 4:08 PM	Speaking of Israeli vehicles, I'd like to see the whole range of upgraded M-48's & M-60's, Centurions, Merkava's, and M-113's, as well as all the SP conversions done to the Sherman chasis.And what about the Panzer IV as used by the Syrians. How about all the SP conversions on the T-34/85, done by Egypt and Syria. What about the new lengthend M113 family of IFV's. Those could be fun. Oh ya, almost forgot. It would be really cool to have Iraqi T-55's & T-62's with add on armor. Bean Last Edited on 27-Jan-2003 4:28 PM

werderwayne 0 post 28-Jan-2003 10:44 AM	The only model I would really like to see is a Panther A. The Germans made 2000, which makes it the 3rd most numerous type that the Germans made, behind the Panther G and the Pz IV H. I also would buy some Panther D's if the fenders were shortened. -WW
Anonymous Guest 0 post 29-Jan-2003 11:59 AM	Personally, ultra-modern (meaning 1990's or newer) German and Russian vehicles don't interest me. I can't see plausible scenarios using these weapons. For example, most of the ultra-modern Russian vehicles are little more than prototypes with few if any sales. That is why Cold War vehicles of all nations and also contemporary Israeli vehicles are of more interest to me. While on the idea of ultra-modern vehcles that might plausibly be used and would interest me, the range of vehicles used by South Korea would be of interest. Of course, this is the vote of one person.
Anonymous Guest 0 post 29-Jan-2003 7:03 PM	First, thanks for making this forum possible, for monitoring it, and especially this thread. Oh, and thanks for putting the lines back into production. I've just made another purchase of German WWII stuff at my local hobby store here in Seattle, American Eagles (just placed an order with you for some items they didn't have). This time, among other things, I bought hordes of PAK 40's. I must say, I love these miniatures far more than those of that other company. However, I can't help but feel that they look naked without crews. It's the same with all the Feld Haubitzen I have, as well. The Nebelwerfers are okay, as I believe they were remote fired anyway, but I'd love to see a pack of German artillery crewmen some day. I don't intend to put seven crewmen on each 8.8 cm FlaK I base up, but I will put a few. Ideally, it'd be nice to see one model standing with a stereoscopic rangefinder. A tripod-mounted scissors telescope would be great too. That would be a nice addition to any infantry command base too. Perhaps the rest could be split between standing crewmen in various positions( 8.8, howitzers, self-propelled gun buffels, etc.), and crouching models (PAK, infantry guns & mortars, etc.). If there were 30 per box, like the anti-tank infantry and machinegunners, I'd be purchasing quite a few, to cover all of my crew-served weapons. Is anyone else interested in this idea?
SchnellHeinz 0 post 29-Jan-2003 7:08 PM	Greetings, all. Just registered with the forum. For what it's worth, that was me that made that last post about a pack of artillery crewmen. Thanks, SchnellHeinz
Anonymous Guest 0 post 29-Jan-2003 11:00 PM	More ultra modern stuff.....I not sure what the other guy was talking about but there is a huge number of modern scenarios i can think of...Indian T-90s vs Pakistans Type-98s..on and on. But I do agree that some more Israeli stuff would be great !!
Platov 0 post 30-Jan-2003 11:33 AM	I want to see a model of: CV9040 Swedish MICV
fulcrum 1 post 30-Jan-2003 12:14 PM	CV9040 Swedish MICV ........That is a great idea !!! Poland also uses the CV9040(Turret) on there BMP hulls. It could be a great 2 for 1 item. As long as the new turret fitted both the BMP-2 hull and the CV9040. Rick
BrianB 0 post 30-Jan-2003 12:29 PM	I'd love to see an expansion of the Science Fiction line apart from the RenLeg stuff. A great idea would be a modulsr series - several different hull types (Tracked, wheeled, grav, Hover), all of which have identical universal points to which can be added any of a number of different turrets/applications. you could then sell them as packs of completed vehicles, or as packs of hulls or accessory packs (MBT deck & Turret, ADA turret, APC module, etc.)
BrianB 1 post 30-Jan-2003 12:31 PM	Regarding ultra-modern stuff, keep it coming! It's also great for use in Sci Fi games like Dirtside II.
Pfc - C in C 5 post s 30-Jan-2003 3:15 PM	We've spoken to George Hord about expanding his sci-fi armor line. He designed all the original ASF pieces and it sounds as if he's interested and willing to expand the line by doing some new designs. Brad

Anonymous Guest 0 post 30-Jan-2003 10:11 PM	Another Cold War vehicle that I'd like to see is the MT-LB with the Dog Ear radar. This would complement the MT-LB with SA-13 and the ZSU-23-4.
BrianB 2 post s 31-Jan-2003 12:10 PM	Good to hear you're considering expanding the ASF line. Bear in mind that any modern AFV type is a potential inspiration for a Sci Fi vehicle - futuristic SPA, Cav vehicles, Arty observers, ATGM launchers, etc....
Bob Mackenzie Guest 0 post 31-Jan-2003 2:53 PM	I'll second the gent that asked for an ARL-44! :-) UK manufacturers make cheper micro than US, OK most of it isn't as good (with a couple of exceptions) but as I'm on a tight budget cost matters. However I'd like to see the following models as NO ONE else does one ARL-44 Hornet Malkara (fat chance I think but I might as well ask) IS-4 (ditto) P-16 (French WW2 half track armoured car - the Scotia offering bears no resemblence to reality) W-15 TCC 47mm SP (again the Navwar model is waaaayy to small) Skoda 100mm M14/19 with spoked wheels (alright GHQ makes one but its mega-bucks and I dont want to buy a pair of useless Italian tractors with it - this guns was used by Hungary, Romania and Germany and would be most useful) Any Super heavy artillery inc rail guns. By superheavy I mean 240mm and up - I just love big guns USSR "Kondesator" 460mm SP gun French 25mm AA gun mle 39 (single barrel version) K-18 auf PzKfw-IV (OK only 2 saw service but its WW2 German so will sell loads) Neubaufahrzeug aka PzKfw-V (ditto) SU-100Y (one saw service outside Moscow - and its a coll big SPG) T-50 (the only Russian tank no-one makes) Thats enough for now :-) Cheers Bob
BrianB 4 post s 31-Jan-2003 3:40 PM	Also add to our wish list: Chenowith FAV's, some of the different Rover variants, particularly the ones used by the SAS and US Special Forces.
Hauptmann6 2 post s 31-Jan-2003 4:38 PM	Also more ground mounted US AA guns like the 37mm and quad 50 ground mount... A full 90mm AA battery would be nice as well with directors and the like. For the German AA as well... Engineering equipment in general as well. Bridge trailers ect.
John Ross Guest 0 post 1-Feb-2003 10:52 PM	I have looked over all the other fellows suggestions and they are all quite good. They all fill needed gaps in the WWII and Modern lines. But I would like to add a few of may own. How about the M46 and M47 turrets without the storage bins on their rears. All the photos I have seen of the M46s in Korea show them without them. Same for the M47s, the classic case of those used in the film "The Battle of Bulge" being without them. These were standard issue German Armour at the time dressed up in WWII markings to use them the film. Perhaps you can offer these as an accessory pack item? There might also be an interest in the upguned M47 turret with the 105 gun installed. And let us not forget the Japanese of WWII. There is a need for the HO-NI I, II, & III support SPs. As well as the Type 4 HO-RO SP. Let us also not forget the Japanese troops, trucks, cars, landing craft, and half-tracks too. Since you are back in the ship lines again may I suggest the aircraft carriers IJN Shinaro & USN Ranger of WWII. There is also a need for Japanese oilers, troopships, and cargoships for the US subs to sink! Finally, we could use accessories like barbed wire, X steel barriers, mines, ammo boes, crates, gas cans, etc. to give the battlefield that lived in look! I have more items I'd like to see, but I think this is enough for now. Glad to see you back in full production with a fully working website to support your sales and customers! It's been a long, long time coming! Thank You!
SchnellHeinz 1 post 3-Feb-2003 3:41 AM	For the WWII Germans, Hornisse's, Hummels, and Nashorns would be welcome (a separate pack of buffels for these vehicles would be fantastic - they just don't look right without anyone crewing the gun...). Also, level bombers like the He111 & Do17. Ju52's would be great, as well for the falschirmjagers. I'd buy all of the above. My number one burning desire is for the individual artillery crewmen, however. Thanks for listenning, and glad you're back, SchnellHeinz
Larry7 0 post 3-Feb-2003 12:35 PM	Just to add a naval slant to this thread, there are a lot of naval wargamers out there who are very happy you've got things back on track. I would like to request the following additions to your WWII 1/2400 line: British E-class cruisers-Enterprise and Emerald, the successors to the earlier D-class. These are very distinctive ships that merit some attention. Although each had a unique appearance (Enterprise had a prototype twin 6-inch gun mount) perhaps it would be possible to make one hull with add on components to make various ships in the class. Best wishes
Wraith 0 post 3-Feb-2003 7:52 PM	How about doing the M41 Duster. It's been around along time, seen alot of conflict, and is still in use in some small countries. I was wondering if you considered modelling the heavy allied armored vehicles that didn't make it into WW2. It would be interesting having a conflict with German Maus or E100 facing the American T95 Gun Motor Carriage(aka T28), the T14, the T29 Heavy Tank, or the British A43 Black Prince, A39 Tortoise, or A33 Heavy Assault Tank. Civilian vehicles. Cars, trucks, semis, ect. to use as vehicles for third world conflicts, ground clutter, or maybe Car Wars with some slight modifications.
Tom Guest 0 post 3-Feb-2003 11:47 PM	Make a modern chinese line...This web site has a bunch of really cool looking units that nobody has done in 1/285 scale www.sinodefence.com
Jenk20 1 post 4-Feb-2003 9:06 AM	I'll have to agree with the requests for the CV90 series. Once the base hull is complete there are a number of variants...lucrative idea. Yup on the FAVs. Would love to see a general expansion of modern engineer stuff like bridgelayers. The Weisels are a great idea too. The 1/300 Scotia ones are horrible (same for the FAVs). T-80U. Modern air defense SA-10/11/12/15, Pantzyr, Rapier, Sky Guard Aspide with Oerlikon guns. European modern transports and tank transporters. The MAN truck mounting the Roland II. RAH-66 Comanche. HMMWV with comm new comm shelter. PATRIOT with radar. How about and LCAC? Track width mine plough accesories. With the gaining focus on East Asia I agree that an expanded Chinese line but add modern S.Korean stuff like the Type 88. Japanese modern too. It easy to sit and "wish" to give an idea of what we all want but what would be less obscure an more lucrative for the guys to work on first? IE the CV90 has lots of variants and is a strong int'l contender. Whaddya think?
BrianB 5 post s 4-Feb-2003 10:07 AM	To expand on the civilian vehicles, what about some technicals? They'd fit in so many current regions, probably the most common armed vehicle in use in modern conflicts. Toyota pickups would probably be most common.
Anonymous Guest 0 post 4-Feb-2003 2:30 PM	Some modern aircraft (although big) that I would like to see...

With slight modification, this could also be released as the command variant. Then anyone with a DAK collection would have to have it too (Rommels "Mammut" captured command vehicle). SchnellHeinz

John Ross Guest 0 post 15-Feb-2003 10:06 AM	Here's some more items I'd like to see. The M2A4 Lt. Tank, the T44 Med. Tank, and the M19 AA SP of WWII. How about the Italian M42 & M43 Semoventes in 75 and 105 mm gun version used by Germans in WWII. Let us not forget the Hungarian Toldi, Turan I, Turan II Lt. & Med. Tanks. As well as the Hungarian 40/43M Zrinyi Gun SPs and Nimrod AA SPs. And don't forget the German V1, the very reason the British were so eager to get into Holland and Northern Germany in WWII. For the Post WWII era I'd like to see the Atomic Cannon, The Nike-Hercules, Redstone, and Lacrosse Missiles. The M50 Ontos, the M37 Gun SP, the M44 Gun SP, the M52 Gun SP, and M39 APC/ULT. The M59 and M75 APCs would also be nice. For the flyboys how about the F22 Rapter and F35 Joint Strike Fighters. Along with the B1B Lancer and B2 Spirit Bombers. The Predator would be nice touch also. For the naval guys the French CVN Charles De Gaulle and La Fayette Frigates. The USN CVNs Harry S. Truman, Ronald Reagan and George Bush (The last one is going to bulit in honor of the 41st Pres., a WWII flier and veteran.) Finally, let us not forget the PTs & MGBs of the American, British, German, Italian, & Japanese Navies of WWII. I'm glad to see this discussion forum, for it gives us, your customers, a chance to be heard! And, I almost forgot, don't for get to consider the French Renault FT-17 Mg and Gun Tanks of WWII, they seem to have been everywere the Germans were!

I know I not the only one who 'kit bashes'. (I've converted some Stalinetz tractors into D8 dozers. 22 pieces each . . . sheesh) How about kit projects. You supply the detailed pieces and we supply sheet styrene and tubes for the barrels. Could be done for the railroad guns of WW2, large landing craft, or buildings.

John Guest 0 post 21-Feb-2003 5:21 PM	Where can I get slightly smaller metal models than the plastic army-in-a-bag you get at toy stores and bigger than the WWII models you have?
SchnellHeinz 7 post s 22-Feb-2003 11:41 AM	There's 15mm World War II miniatures from Battlefront, Peter Pig, and a number of other manufacturers. To get an idea of what's available, and see some painted examples, search on eBay using the string: "German 15mm". There are a number of dealers who paint 15mm vehicles and infantry and sell them there. There are also companies that make models from other periods (modern, WWI, etc.), and in other scales like 20mm or 10mm. I switched from 15mm WWII to 1/285th-1/300th simply because it's more economical, requires less space, painting is faster, and I can build a much larger and more cohesive force. A battalion is rather easy to build using C-in-C's products. It's a major undertaking in 15mm, and particularly challenging in 20mm. SchnellHeinz

brian_gs 0 post 26-Feb-2003 9:03 PM	Let me add some more on the side of naval gamers. Your 1/4800 WWII line was a beauty, and now I can finally complete my set.....but it would be absolutely terrific to see the line expanded. But not just WWII, 1/4800 modern would be a dream come true. Of all the scales, I've found the size of the miniatures in 1/4800 is just right to allow good detail, and not take up to much playing space.
Essayons 0 post 3-Mar-2003 6:20 PM	Good Day Gentlemen, First, I'd like to express my gratitude to C-in-C for producing such a fine product at very reasonable prices. As most of you will agree, we will keep buying as long as you keep producing. Lately, I have been filling out my collection of WWII naval miniatures in 1/2400 scale. I would like to see C-in-C produce a model of the Italian Maestrale Class DD. (This could also be used for the Oriani Class DD, as the differences were minor.) I would also like to see the Mirabello Class and Sella Class DDs. A model of Turbine would be nice. The older Italian BBs, the CAs Trento and Bolzano, and the remaining Condottieri Classes of CLs would all be excellent additons to the line. Unfortunately, I have long ago purchased these models from 'the other guys', and spent too much money doing so. Good luck, and good gaming to you all. Essayons.
