This week our picks include two very rarely done machines--one on the ground and one in the air.
We'll start with picks for fold who like their die cast vehicles solidly on the ground. The first is an oldie but a goodie that is now difficult to find. It's a 1:35 scale W. Britain U.S Sherman with a 76 mm gun. You can still order it from BT Soldiers for $40.00.

Our next selection is the rarely done early war Panzer 38 (t). It is a 1:32 scale 21st Century product that Bad Cat says is incoming very soon and can be yours for $19.99.
1:32 plastic and diecast composite tank.
The German Sd.Kfz. 140 Panzer 38(t) Light Tank was adopted by the German Wehrmacht from a Czechoslovakian design, the 38(t) played a significant role during the early part of WWII before its small stature and light armor made it obsolete as a battlefront tank. The 38(t) was equipped with a 37 mm Skoda A7 main gun and two 7.92 mm machine guns. This highly detailed model comes with many fantastic features including rotating wheels and tracks, rotating turret, elevating guns, and operable hatches.
