Oshkosh family in plastic (and trailers),
Accurate (early, mid, late) Panther and Tiger with/without zimmerit (Dragon please!),
Some more sd.kfz. 251s (command, ambulance, etc.)

Apart from that, I'm good! and have way to many kits in my stash!

Top of the list... time... to do actually something modelling related

And it would be fine to finally see some new trucks in plastic in 1:35 scale. Some Henschels would be nice or Magirus trucks, MAN trucks, Bussing NAG's even revamped Blitz or L3000 would be nice. ... Smaller vehicles are also good. Kubels from other manufacturers then VW... Like Mercedes, Horch and the like.

Since I'm single, and financially secure, I really do not make up a wish list, but simply buy what I need, or like.
I'll wait until after Christmas to post the Gifts "Senile Santa" bought.

I've got plenty of time and a rather small stash. It would be nice to gift some of my time. But, I dont think that can or will happen any time soon.

I need a well light work area. The place I am renting with my girlfriend has horrible lighting and really no place to have a workshop.

M915 trucks (see ad for Miniman factory over there somewhere -->)
engineer vehicles from PanzerShop and some other eastern block stuff.
A bunch of Dragons WWII US half-tracks

I though that this already existed. JB Models has them no?
http://www.jbmodels.co.uk/kits.html
These are plastic kits

Last I heard JB models was bought by Airfix the Land Rover will certainly appear (if it didn't already) under the Airfix label

Hi mate, JB Models do some very interesting and very good British Army kits in plastic including the 1 tonne Land Rover but nothing in 1/35th.

1/35th plastic Rovers, Bedfords and Fodens are as scarce as hens teeth.

And can I add the space age looking Stalwart to the plastic list... Oh, and a 432 or two... And a Saxon, Spartan, Rapier...

Oh, the list goes on and on...

Ive 2 weeks holidays booked ... 071221 - 080107, and hopefully I get to use that time to the maximum. Have had a dry spell recently as far as modelling goes, so the kits, AM, reference and supplies have built up .... so I´ll just wish for the time to use them!
If me arm was twisted to make a wish, it would be for a full set of the Histoire & Collection books.
