We have (actually had as it's being remodeled) a long hallway at
TACOM
filled with 100s of models of combat varients that never went into
full
production. I'll guess 20 varients near production for every
one actually
produced in quantity. Of those 20, three or so will go
into low production
with 5-20 actually constructed of each. We
pulled a couple out of mothballs
for the war in Iraq. Scrapping
a combat program is nothing compared with
the local Detroit auto
industry and what they scrap out. Funny - I have an
original pastel
from the early 50's showing hover tanks with nuclear
explosions
going off in the distance. Haven't seen any hover tanks produced
in
volume, but there were some
made.
