How did I forget to include tanks??

I considered ther BSG subjects, but decided against them as the kits were unavailable for a long time. Sure, you see them all the time now, but not so often in the past. I was thinking of only things which have been at EVERY model expo you EVER attended., or atleast for the last twenty years or so.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.
