O.K, Nobody has taken me seriously the last three years, but, Really:

Honestly. we've now got 3 Dragon Wagons & 2 Hemmtt's...just ONE eastern bloc could balance it out...

Trumpeter's MAZ is supposed to be released in 2008 and there were pics of the built up prototype model... so it must be really coming.

I don't have any specific wishes but :

* It would be nice if Tamiya would update some of their modern offerings to Iraq standards (ASK and armoured gun shields for the HUMVEE, etc...)

* I'd like to see more never before made kits rather than different versions of Tigers and Shermans and the like

* When companies like Dragon and Trumpeter release something like the German 15cm s.FH 18 Field Howitzer, it would be nice if they also released the SDkfz 7 that pulls it. Doesn't that just make sense?

* CIVILIAN figures and vehicles.. both WW II and modern. They add a lot of life and reality to dioramas.

* One specific wish would be the Landrover.

* AFV Club makes some Workable plastic tracks for certain vehicles. I'd love to see more of those for a wider variety of vehicles. Can't justify paying more for workable metal tracks than what I paid for the kit itself!!

Well, that's all that comes to mind now without getting into specific vehicles.

Cheers
Hisham
