@Imperious:
The German subs from 1941 are the best. I call those other ones toothpicks. Classic had some good ones too.
Classic had the best. They look ok, the are alittle smaller so they take up less space, and they are very stable (don’t fall over)
I use the ones from classic as Coastal Subs, many nations had these.
In 1936 Germany had more coastal subs than Ocean going subs and Russia always had more Coastal subs than any nation. -
when the old europe came out I started using the “new” subs as Super Subs and the ones from Classic as normal subs

I gotta say I’m not happy that you are cutting the Do-17 bomber to just 1 per set.
If you had to cut any of the pieces to just 1 per set, it should have been the battleship or carrier. People will need more of the bombers than they will battleships or carriers for Germany.

----But I don’t think the “Coach” would just arbitrarily do something like this. It goes against customer satisfaction. My guess is there must have been a production issue, quality issue, or something wrong that MADE him have to do so.
Just watch, I imagine we’ll soon hear the reason behind his decision.––I’ll have my now half-dozen “Flying Pencil’s” soon, and thank HBG for making them. And I pray HBG doesn’t encounter any major problems as FMG has.

Yes, the Do-17 had a lot of QC issues so we do not have as many for sets.
Everybody who pre-ordered received 2 in each set as stated and we added a Tiger Tank.The change is ONLY on sets now being offered for sale.
We hope to have single for sell in 2 weeks…Do-17’s also.

Thanks Coach that Tiger looks awesome. All I want for the Germans now is infantry in winter greatcoat and the Mark4.

I wish all companies treated their customers as you guys do!!! I can’t wait to send more money to you guys for the Japanese sets :)

I can’t wait for the France set, just so i can replace all those Russian pieces, sure France rarely sees play butfor aesthetics id rather see a char b1 in Paris for a turn than that blue t34

IDEA:
Then you can paint all your T-34s brown or Red and use them as extra Russian Tanks.
Char b1 are awesome looking and they were bigger than any German Panzer IIIs or 1Vs at the Invasion of France.WARRIOR888

Haha no painting for me for a while, just finished painting my Global set today, all but France. You are right though, don’t have to worry about running out of T34s anytime soon Haha

I painted those blue T-34s about a year ago and use them for T-34/85s.

I am LOVING these new German pieces. Also very much like the bonus Tiger in each set. Thank you VERY much Coach. To all who placed pre-orders and therefore got the bonus Tigers, we should be very appreciative. You know that of all the pieces in the new German sets, these Tigers are sure to be the hottest item. So for Coach to include a FREE Tiger in each pre-order set is really putting himself out there for us.
I do see what you mean about the Do-17s. I could see some minor problems with some that I got in my sets and I’m guessing you probably sent the best ones in your pre-orders. I understand better why you made the cut.
Your 251 Halftracks are fabulous. They make the OOB look like simple clumps of plastic. I’m crazy for the Me262 and Me110. Oh, and aren’t those little Panzer IIs just SO CUTE!
I noticed your QC is very good. All pieces present and accounted for. Odd thing: in my dark grey sets, one set was missing a Ju488 yet the very next set had 3 so it evened out. Just seemed an odd coincidence to me.
Possible suggestion: You mentioned before that you wish to include the Panzer IV in the next Axis Minors sets so it will be available in all the 7 Axis Minor colors. This makes good sense since many of the Axis Minor countries got Panzer IVs from Germany. I don’t know how far you have gotten in the lineup for that set, but you might consider including a Ju87 Stuka. I know that Italy flew some and I think Finland did as well. Not sure about Romania, Bulgaria or Hungary, but I know some were also in the Condor Legion in Spain. Plus, I know that your’s would look fantastic and it would be cool to have Stukas in all the different colors. Just an idea. -

We will round out the Axis Minors in all the previous colors and fill in the holes.

The ME262 is smaller than I expected. The DO17 wings look kind of like glider wings. All the others are very nice looking. Thanks, HBG for the extra Tigers. I think I have all the Tigers I will ever need now.
