There are a lot of beautiful resin kits that i would like to see in plastic. The diamond T wrecker is one, the morris ambulance another (Think it's a morris).

Some of the weird British stuff like the Independant, Tortoise or the TOGs could be fun.
But I add my support to the shout for early A# cruisers and Vickers tanks.

On the Soviet side I'd love to see a T35

Oh and more interesting figures---LRDG, wounded, POWs, and especially artillery crews!!

All in 1:72....

I'd be happy with modern, 21st century quality kits of the Crusader, Churchill, and Universal Carrier.

The last 2 in particular strike me as right up Dragons street, given their propensity for releasing a myriad of variants once they have kitted the base subject. The British UC is of course the most produced armoured vehicle of all time.....

Given the amount missing I'll stick to mainstream equipment

French Tanks, R35, H35/39, Somua etc, etc
French Artillery 75mm and 25mm AT

British/Commonwealth:
Sexton SPG
RAM Kangaroo
Churchill Mk II-VIII including Funnies
Valentine
matilda Mk II-III
A9-13
Covenanter (Bridgelayer)
Vickers Mk VI lt tanks
A30 Challenger

5.5 " Gun
7.2" Howitzer
2 pdr AT & Crew
6 Pdr AT and Crew (mk II & IV)
17 pdr AT & Crew
Daimler AC
Humber AC
Bedford 3 ton truck
Leyland 3 ton truck
AEC Matador
2 pdr Portee
Bren Carrier
Universal Carrier

US
M18
M4 dv Hull
M4 mid production
M4 105
M4A1 DD
M4A1 DV hull & M3 Bogies
M4A2 DV hull & M3 Bogies
Halftracks including T28, T 48, M3 GMC, M5 M9
M4A3 56 deg hull
M4A3E8

M6 3" AT Gun
M6 37mm AT
M1 57mm AT
AIrborne 75mm & 105mm guns

By no means extensive
AL

To continue in a very parochial vein and with items that have never had any styrene representation at all:

Canada

Fox AC
Lynx SC
Otter LRC
C15TA APC
Windsor Carrier
T16 Carrier
Ford & Chev C30 & C60 trucks & variants

OPK (Other people's kit)
Scammell Pioneer
Scammell HAT
M19 Diamond T
M20 trailer
Ward LaFrance Wrecker

For those of you asking for the Churchill series there are rumours that AFV Club are going to do one in the near future....

Sorry I forgot one




cheers

Well, with all the PE and brass that DML puts into their kits, I think an M4A3 Sherman with an interior would be nice. Some more French stuff would be good, and some British, like a Churchill or Cromwell. I realize that the Churchill and Cromwell exist, but I think that a new rendition done by Dragon would be nice.

lol that looks like my last scratchbuild attempt

A good Matilda

Bulldozers and other engineer equipment I will say they probably won't sell so well in plastic

We have seen "paper panzers" in plastic Why not Allied stuff?

T28

ISU 152/1 That was an ISU 152 with a real long barrel One prototype was made

Engineering equipment. I agree with the dozers and such. I would love to one day do a Seabee dio involving my grandfather's downed Hellcat on Pelilue.
Maybe some more Gun-Truck options. I know they're from 'Nam but they are allied! Some Korean War versions of AFVs too.

-Mike

Wow, what did I start? I think a lot of the suggestions are, as Jim says, not commercially viable, I do think we will see more British Armoured Cars from Bronco or Skp, an M3 Grant and a DV Sherman from Academy, Maybe some more French tanks from Tamiya.
I don't think we'll see any new Bren Carriers or Lloyd Carriers any time soon


Nice rumour,Where did you hear that Mark?

International Harvester supplied 5,200 M5/M9 half tracks to UK during WW2. I would be nice to see a 1/35 kit to complement the recent WW2 armour. Even a resin conversion set would be nice.

Demoravia

I doubt if it'd come close to practical. It would be an absolutely enormous set and resin would not be suitable for the re-worked (and thin) armor. Once the M3 becomes availble, it'll be more practical but not IMO, particularly viable commercially. I'd love to see it, but i'm not holding my breath. We'll see the M3 APC and a few easily done variants but an IH H/T would mean the manufacturers REALLY sticking their necks out...

I know this is not an "Allied" answer in the strictest sense, but I would love to see DML give either the Smart Kit, or Superkit treatment to the M60 series tanks. Also, any new Shermans are always welcome!

What about a mainstream injection kit of a DD Sherman with the canvas 'boat' attachement deployed. I don't think anyone makes one of those, do they?

cheers
Bob

LVTs! I was browsing the web for a correct LVT-4 troop carrier and it seems like Italeri's the game in the town. However, it had it's shares of flaws. I wish someone would make rework Italeri's offering.

Oh... how about an accurate M10 and an M36? So far every one made has been wrong.

A nice M-18 will be great. But I still hope for a Sherman Calliope from dragon.

Martin

While there is a resin conversion, an M4A3E2 (Jumbo) would be nice, of course, just a plain old M4 would be great. Also, what the British would have referred to as a T-34-76 C or D would be great.


John

I would like to see in injected plastic kits:

British:

Mk VI lt tank,
Cruiser Tanks, A9, A10, A13
Updated Crusader, Matilda and Valentine Tanks

US:
A newer M-24 Chafee
Towed Guns like the 76.2 ATG

New soft skins for all the Allies.

Mike T.

Well many of these have already been covered but I'd like to see

Commonwealth
Vickers light tank Mk6
Daimler Armored Car
Churchill AVRE (with the 290mm demolition mortar)
Archer
Canadian built Ford & Chevrolet trucks
LRDG truck (reissue the Tamiya kit or new)
LRDG figures
Some Scottish figures (with Bagpipe)
A British AT set with a PIAT
British or ANZAC figures for the Pacific or CBI
British figures in general (lets see there are 10,000 German figure sets and what 4 British sets?)


US
Chevrolet 1 1/2 ton truck
2 1/2 ton Tanker truck (or re-issue the Italeri kit)
Some heavy trucks (Mack, WLF etc)
more figure sets

USSR
SU76
more figure sets


Some misc figure sets would be nice too, partisans, a Jedburgh team, US / Canadian 1st special service force, OSS or SOE operatives etc

Not really Allied specific but some civilian figure sets would be nice too, Europe, North Africa, Pacific etc.

I'll agree with ANYTHING British or Commonwealth. Some of the "Funnies" that were used in Normandy. I would love to see some softskin offerings. Here's a partial list.

Morris Commercial C8P
AEC Matador
Bedford QLT 3 ton truck (lorry for my European brethern)
Sexton SP gun
Ford 15cwt
A NEW production Morris-Commercial C8 MkIII
US M-29 "Weasel"

Not a complete list...just a beginning.

Jeff

Excellent thread.
As others have stated, Just better Quality!!!
I have a older tamiya Sherman 75mm kit in the closet. I was pumped to build it and half did, then I jumped on a Christmas present of the DML Smart kit Panther G...Well, I don't want anything to do with the Sherman kit...POOR QUALITY!!!
OK, to answer your question.
Trucks! We had several and most we see are tank haulers and GMC 2 1/2 ton rigs. We had planty more and yes I want them in "smart kit" quality.
If somone knows something I don't please email me.
Again Excellent thread.

Jim
