I hope you are refering to the new varirents of the FMTV truck with the armored cabs you see all over the place now?
I second that and all varients of the HEMTT A4 especially the M984A4 recovery lets not forget the M1120 and M1074 PLS

Quoted TextSlightly off-topic, but the 1/35 scale rotary wing market seems to be a little bit underserved. I would love to see some examples from the Kamov (25/26/27) range...
Seem like the 1/35 scale helos from Trumpeter didn`t sell too well...
Trumpeter didn't sell wel because of no good accuracy and simplefied detail and the steep price tag.
You needed a ton of after market stuff to make something out of it.
Not worth the investment (in my personal opinion).
I would love to have some accurate detailed helos in 35th scale.
That would be awesome!
Not from Trumpeter though.
MiniArt!..are you listening!

I would like a brand new range of KV 1 and KV 2 tanks from my number one manufacturer, MiniArt.
It would only be logic that they would produce a state of the art new KV range.
Btw, I am not related in anyway to MiniArt.
Just a fan.

I would like to see some Swiss AFV, for example
Pz 61 (Pz means "tank", 61 is the year of the indroduction in
army service)
Pz 68
Pz 68 Entpannungspanzer (recovery vehicle based on the Pz 68
chassis)
Pz 68 Brückenleger (bridgelayer based on the Pz 68)
Pz 87 (Swiss Leopard 2)
The Pz 68 was built in hundreds (!) and never saw action in a conflict. Maybe that's the reason why no company made a model kit of this design.

Lets get the FMTV series up to date finally. M1083 with the modern/present LTAS cab.
Also a M1095 trailer to go with said M1083.
Sad that we cant get the FMTV series up to date after 10 years...

This! We've been waiting for an apparently vaporware Pz 68 for a few years now from Rochm Model but it seems dead. This is a decent sized gap in Cold War armor.

A nice reasonably priced M5 half-track for all those British troops that used it. Oh, and Miniart could do a set of British/Commonwealth riders, like all those German transported toops we have.

For beginners a new JS-3M(better than the older Trumpeter offering)
M-50 "Super Sherman"
Tropicalized AMX Leclerc(version which is used by the UAE).
Would love to see these in 1/35 scale.

Not forgetting the Westland Scout and Lynx - they would so help some dioramas I have in my head!
But whilst I'm here - don't forget the CVR(T) range - the Sultans, Samaritans, Samsons, Striker. They would all make cracking little 1:35 models. AFV Club - wake up!

As for figures ,I would really like to see some 1/35 Australian troops in jungle gear, as well as some Chindits with mules perhaps.

Mine would be a good, accurate 1/35 Crusader with a partial interior (for the turret at least), workable suspension and tracks... I don't mind who makes it as long as it's not DML black Label. After all, over 5000 were built and they were used in at least two WWII campaigns yet all we have are the old inaccurate Italeri kits and the more recent revamped Tamiya version of them.
The other missing link for me would be the Daimler Ferret family. (I drove and then commanded a Mk2/1 so have a fondness for the vehicle). The AA one is ok I guess but lacks a drivers compartment for some odd reason.

Same spiel for me over and over again over the decades...FAST ATTACK and Light Strike Vehicles! None of these were ever made in plastic. Some were made in resin, but many are kind of inaccurate or outdated.
I realize that many are Special Forces and may not be easy to copy and make per OpSec.
* SEAL Desert Patrol Vehicle
* FMTV "Warpig"
* Light Strike Vehicle
* USMC Mercedes G ITV
* USMC M1161 "Growler"
* Polaris DAGOR
* Flyer 72
* HMMWV Ground Mobility Vehicle
* Polaris MRZR
* UK Supacat
* UK Jenkel
* German LIV(SO)
* French Panhard VPS
* French Outfielder 4X4 FAV
* UAE NIMR
* French Sherpa Light SF
...on and on and on...
See how much the modeling community is missing with no modern FAVs?
