@Imperious:
I have a list of pieces for HBG Neutral set that will be done in White (Strict Neutral), Orange (Dutch), Light grey (Pro-Axis), light green (pro-Allies)
Please discuss the list and any changes you would like to see or if you like the list, let me know that too!
These look really great…
Infantry - Dutch Soldier
Infantry - Polish Soldier
Artillery - 75mm 7 veld …perfect
Armored Car - Wz-34 or how bout this site: http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/244451 (DAF M39)
Tank - 7Tp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7TP
Fighter - Fokker DXXI
Tac - Fokker G1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_G.I, i hate anything that looks like a p-38.
Transport - Arundo
Sub - Orzel class

Everything is in order and are good looking choices except the tactical bomber, which looks too modern.

It makes no sense to do Italian models for the neutrals, considering that we already have a full range of German, Italian, and Axis Minor sculpts (and Coach has already announced that he has more German variants coming on top of that…) Between all of the different neutral/ minor countries, surely there’s a more unique sculpt he could choose!
I can understand that the criticism that it looks too much like a P-38, though the argument that it looks too “modern” makes no sense. It looks like what it is, which is not especially modern by WW2 standards. Even the P-38 itself was more an early-war than a late-war model. In the West it was destined to be almost entirely replaced late-war by P-47 and P-51 fighters. (Note, btw, the much higher numbers in the model designations of the later models: there were nine other proposed fighter designs in between the P-38 and the P-47… and even the P-40 was a later design!)
