How many tanks GHQ molded since 1967?

Post by Luca »

I was reading that the most produced tank of all times was the T-55 with some 50.000 units built.

Then I guessed, How many tanks GHQ could have produced since 1967? And what are the most numerous? I was thinking the maybe the Tiger and the Panther are among the top 10.

Is it a trade secret, or GHQ can share with us this fun-fact?

Myself alone, I own some 400+ tanks (counting just tanks). I shall count them exactly this evening.

I can tell you that it is at least 4,500... well, plus your 400.

It's a very interesting question actually, both for GHQ and personally.
I've no idea how many I have, though certainly not near as many as some of you guys.
Just for fun, I looked to see how many actual "tanks" I had in my unopened-packs cabinet.
I came up with a mere 26 tanks- out of 49 packs...

GHQ can look in their computer files to find the production numbers. GHQ has the production number on the bottom of the tanks inside the hull. My last M1A2 was 68,341 while my last M1A2 TUSK was 14,187. While my last one opened and painted was a lower number, but those were my highest numbers. I keep those serial numbers handy in the event someone takes a tank at a convention, thus I can verify my tank be serial number.
Look where the GHQ logo is, I need glasses to magnify the image. BTW, each round fired down range has its number as well, date, batch, and sequence. For example the recent APFSDADU loaded is AP.3.15.23,893.466. So it is the 466 round produced from batch 23,893, produced in March of this year.
Hope you enjoyed to inventory control for our Logistics group. See you on the battle field.

After just over two years of collecting, I have about 119 tanks which include a platoon of hellcats and a platoon of Stug IIIs. This collection is split between WWII and Modern.

At the moment about 124 MBT+ARV with a few more on the way(20).
All either,
Leo 2A6 (main)
Leo 2A4 (reserve)
Centurion (war reserve).

I have a bad habit of changing my National micro army on a whim and only hold one Nation at a time. Don't ask me why, It just happens now and then.
Chris can back me up on this.

Over the years I've covered most major Nations.
Highest MBT count was probably USSR at about 500+ (1980's)
Lowest MBT count must have been South African about 60 (but 100's of wheeled items)

Hope the current build will last a while.

Add another 4 MBT.
Just came across 4 old Olifant 2's by a UK company. I was sure I had sold all my old Olifant's[

quote="7.62"]and only hold one Nation at a time.[/quote]

OK I have to come clean on this a bit. When I sell an old army the GHQ and CinC sell quite easy. The rest, normally older 1/300 may not sell and often gets put away.
These 4 MBT's are in a box along with 215 other South African items lol.
That's not counting another 50 or so Samil trucks I will use as civilians.
There was also 45 French VAB's + VBL in there too!

One day I really need to clear the table and dump out all the old project box's and storage bins. :roll:
