There was obviously not too many helicopters around during WW2. Though, here's something to get your head around...Fletter FI 282 B-2's had a rear seat. In 1945 a few (with a few Fa 223's) were used for artillery observation on the eastern front. There's even a suggestion that a few were in operation over the Ardennes vs US forces. Now that would be an interesting sight, a chopper popping up over a snowy tree line circa January 45.

Mine's always easy (but that said, I've gone through a decade break with the young family thing going on...):
- M-59
- M-75
- M-48A1
- French F3 SP 155mm artillery piece
- Israeli M50 SP howitzer or similar
But I've got soooo much painting to catch up on.

Great list! I sense some early Cold War action!
It's a lovely model too! If you're looking for missing IDF artillery, the Makmat 160mm is probably the next biggest hole that needs filling.Mortis57 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:39 amThis one?

Re: Micro Armour Wish List 2024-2025 - Your Top Five
My top five..?
1. Ka-52 HOKUM B - Integral to any modern Russian Ground or Airborne Forces battlegroup, it would be a great addition to the superb ultra-moderns that GHQ has been producing lately.
2. Mi-8MTV-5 HIP - Although we do have the old-school classic HIP in GHQ's line-up, if you want to run a modern VDV force, the dolphin nose variant would be appreciated. We've a few flavours of CH-53 and UH-60 as the aircraft developed over time, so why not the Mi-8?
3. BTR-ZD 23mm SPAAG - I do apologise if there's a VDV theme here, but the AA variant of the BTR would be great to see, and has both Cold War Gone Hot as well as ultra-modern utility.
4. Stridsvagen 103 S-Tank - I thought I'd break up the VDV requests with the crazy Swedish S -Tank. Mainly because they look great, I can use them as support to my Cold War Finns, and will drive people crazy painting splinter cam at 1/285 (we look forward to that painting lesson Pete...)
5. BMP3 KHRIZANTEMA - Back to Russian ultra-moderns, the up-to-date Russian AT BMP-3 would be great.
Hope there's suggestions above that others would appreciate.
Thoughts?

That Armoured D9 would be a treat for my IDF too.
