Coolio, These are great for me, I look forward too seeing them, Hope my luck keeps holding
Last year made my first order of the year and 3 days later had a stroke, order came in when I was in re-hab, so was waiting when I got home (did not even remember I ordered half the stuff so it was a surprise package)

Only two I can really use, but I know you have a lot of folks to keep happy, It will be easy to build up my M103 battalion. But then, I have other ambitions for older stuff to spend money on.
One question. Will it be the M103, M103A1, or M103A2. I'm kinda hopin' it will be the M103A2...

Glad some of you got items you were looking for!
It's kind of scary that there is more of interest to me here than for the past few years.
WW2 Opel and Mercedes trucks, and Marder 1 (Lorraine I assume). Good ones.
But that's about it for me. Maybe a ship or two. (Idon't collect planes)
I'm not sure what a ZIS 5 transport/bus is- maybe an "8" or "16"(?); but I'm not really interested in buses... And that's the only WW2 soviet???
Once again, no WW2 polish 1939, french 1940, hungarian, romanian, or italian.
Ah well...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! for that M103A2.
When I reported to my first unit at Fort Knox in 1972 (a basic training company at Fort Knox) I, discovered that right next to it was a Marine motor pool with a company of M103A2s and a recovery vehicle. What an interesting place. Two years later, as XO for a tank company, still at Fort Knox, I was sent over to the depot maintenance yard to see what parts I could scrounge from those same tanks, the Marines finally having turned them in.
While I prefer the appearance of the M103A2, Army battalions in Europe were equipped with earlier models. One of my battalion commanders in Friedberg (Ray Barracks, 1-32AR) had served in one of those M103 battalions as a lieutenant.
For those interested, an Army battalion was 3 tanks per platoon, six platoons per company, and 4 companies per battalion. Each platoon had a jeep, as well.
The Wiki entry says only one battalion of M103s were assigned to Europe, however, I believe there were two, one in V Corps area (899th TB? which became 2-33AR) and one in VII Corps. I'll have to check the Hunnicutt book when I can negotiate stairs again. Any old(er) tankers out there who can deny or confirm the two battalions?

Interesting that there is absolutely no new infantry within that list, but that's okay, there's always the 2017 cycle 
However, this coming year is going to be VERY full on for me!
There are WAY too many things on here I want, sooner rather than later!
Question for you team GHQ - the SA-10 - it's not just, literally the SA-10 launcher right? Does it come with the associated radars, because a whole battery is at least two seperate radars (the Flap Lid and Clam Shell) and the Big Bird radar if you wanted.
I don't know how far you've gone into it, but I'm sure there are plenty of us who would appreciate the SA-10 as a pack with the right radar suite as well, plus the singleton launchers.
Either way, a great list overall! Hopefully 2017-2018 will be the year of the foot!
