I am a fan of the Khurasan 15mm science fiction vehicles and figures. Their quality and clean lines are superb. However, I'v had my eye on the Yom Kippur War that Khurasan is producing but his WW II What If line, even though it only has one model right now, intrigues me as a nice way to get more mileage out of all those late war WW II tanks that you know everyone has sitting around. Here is a photo of the single model in the line right now which is called the M34 Taylor that according to the WW II What IF takes place in 1946-49 and has a 120 mm gun.
I suggest for this WW II What If the following tank that was made as a one of the first American Super Heavy tanks the T-28.
What other models might work for this era? |

They are neat tanks. I believe the problem was that they did not fit the roads and bridges where they were designed to fight. |

The British Tortoise and Black Prince Tanks could fit in well. |

Re posting my response to this thread: Heer46 is already working on a 15mm T-28/T-95. Doesn't preclude Khurusan from making one of course.
For the Americans, the 'Taylor' would probably fighting alongside the Pershing and Chaffee. They might be supported by productions version of the T-92/93 Mobile Howitzer. There are multiple sources for the Pershing and Chaffee, no one makes the T-92/93 so far as I know. For the Germans, I think Khurusan mentions them using the Maus, and they might put something like the Panther II into service. I think Forged in Battle has the Maus, not sure on the Panther II. For the Soviets, IS-4, SU-100, T-44. I know several folks make the later two. -Will |

I think if you're going to do the Paper Panzer thing, the Panther II isn't really the way to go; the Panther F or E-50 is the direction the Germans were moving towards at the end of the war (indeed the Panther F was on the production lines, when the war ended
