I've always been partial to WWII armor, so my vote went to the Hetzer.

If the Abrans takes it, I hope it just the beginning of a much larger project

To stir the pot some more:

The Abrams was originally purchased to be transported by an M1070 rig.

The T-62 was originally purchased to be transported by a MAZ-537 rig.

The Hetzer was originally purchased as a potential payload for a Faun tank transporter.

The Hetzer is no longer a potential payload because it would have been too late in the war and because this particular model is of a captured Hetzer "chwat". Google it.

At the time of this post Abrams and Hetzer are tied and the T-62 has made up a bit of ground. We got us a close horsey race.....

This morning, looked at the responses here, on Facebook, and within my own house (my votes being excluded across the board). Current tally shows the Hetzer and Abrams virtually tied. Based on the lobbying within my house, I would have to sway towards the Hetzer.

There is still time to influence the end result by voting here if you haven't already.

Another point that may factor in, but really shouldn't, is that I would be using laser cut tracks for the Abrams and T-62 while I don't have such for the Hetzer.

Cheering for the U.S. Army tank, of course.

And I'd love to see the Abrams on the M1070 at a future Paper Modelers at Army Heritage Days, alongside Kevin's Sherman on the Dragon Wagon and your other U.S. Army armor models.
