New modern vehicles in 1/35th

Some of these have been suggested previously, but anyway, I would like to see them too.

Military ambulances, wheeled or tracked, especially of the IDF and Muslim countries, with Stars of David and Red Crescents on them
Chinese K-63 APC
ZSU-57-2
M42 Duster
AT-S tractor
Land Rover 4x4
Land Rover 1-Tonne truck
Stalwart truck
Saracen, Saladin, Ferret, AMX-10, Panhard ERC-90 Sagaie, Centauro, EE-9 Cascavel armored cars (can you tell I like armored cars?)
Saxon APC
Humber Pig APC
More civilian cars and trucks in 1/35th
Everything in (relatively) inexpensive plastic, naturally. Also, some accessories and decals for building Third World vehicles, not just the army of the country that manufactured it. Also, spare tires for some of these vehicles are always nice. Why not throw in an extra tire with the kit, for stowage?

Well, I completely agree on civillian vehicles and god knows we need a reasonably updated hummer. By the time you build Tamiyas M1025 into an accurate modern version, your into the damn thing for like $150 bucks!

I think weve all forgotten the Seals DPV's that had been promised by Hobby Boss for a few years now. Would DEFINITELY like to see an accurate DPV some time, especially as theyre going to be replaced by differant versions soon.

Well, I'm probably in a crowd of ONE on this, but here you have it: Any, but ANY of the US Army missle systems (styrene, not resin) to include:

Corporal
Honest John
Lacrosse
Little John
Sergeant
HAWK
Pershing
Patriot
Nike - Hercules, Ajax
Lance

M-103 tank
M-42 Duster
M-56 Scorpion
1/35th Helicopters we're still missing

Lastly, some "good" bolshevik stuff...better T-62. T-64, etc.

Cordially,

Dennis

IDF version of a D9 caterpillar..a civilian version will do..also.

..and modern US and European tank transporter.

Stalwart in plastic
LR Series 109-110 including SASR LRPV and Aust RSV
Uprgaded Scimitar and Sabre
Leo C2
ASLAV Ser III
LAV III (come AFV Club - you know you really want too!)
Toyota Hilux
Cheers

I would like to see:

1. Injection molded American HET with trailer.

2. More HMMWV variants (Ambulance, Maintenance, EOD, etc) Insert Dragon 3 in 1 here or
Tamiya could get on the 3 in 1 bandwagon.
3. Updated Russian armor (T-62, T-80, T-90, etc.)
4. US and foreign engineer equipment.

A great DML 3 in 1 would be the M60 chassis that could be built into:
1. AVLB M60A1 AVLB hot link
2. M728 CEV M728 CEV hot link
3. M60 AVLM (Armored Vehicle Launched MICLIC) M60A1 AVLM hot link

My picks (most of which already mentioned, in no particular order):
- Merkava IV
- Merkava III - could do 3 n'1 - Merk 3, 3 BAZ and 3 Dor Dalet
- CV-9030
- new Bradleys (c'mon Dragon, scale up the 1/72 ones - but with 1/35 detail!)
- M113 ADATS
- M777 howitzer
- T-90
- Tunguska

Jim

CV90
Thank you.

BRITISH Stuff like landrovers, engineer equipment, an updated scimitar and 1/35 helicopters such as a puma or merlin, would be huge but awesome!!!

I would like to see some:
- land rover (nam era)
- australian trucks
- M42 Duster
- V100 and M706E2 (I heard hobbyboss will be making one and once I read here that trumpeter was going to make one too)
- FAV (I heard hobbyboss will be making one)
- M728
- M48A1, M48A2 and M48A3
- the japanese manufactured jeep like used in Nam by the ARVN

Dragon to revisit all their Soviet armour from the 90s and give it a polish-up. Dragon to do some of the of the Soviet stuff that appeared in the background of their boxart...

All the CVR(T) variants that haven't been done so far.

No one has mentioned the YP408, IKV-91, PBV 301, PBV302, JGSDF Type 60 APC, JGSDF Type 73 APC?? And since I bought a Brave Models JGSDF Type 60 SP 106mm RCL, you'd think a plastic kit of that should be out soon. Right?

I'm a weird guy so my list would be stuff like that. However, there really should be a nice kit of the Panhard AML-60, AML-90, M3 APC, and VBL. Or how about the M114, M113 C&R (both Dutch and Canadian versions please). Or a Wiesel 2.

hi all
french stuffs like AMX 10 RC revalorise, VBL, ERC 90 sagaie, EBr (in plastic)...
some things it's easy to install in an african dio.

Me too! And if we can have only one, I'll take the Pz.68. Plus a TAM and a Vickers MBT / Vijayanta. Sorry to be dull, but it's tanks all the way for me.

i found an SAS Pinkpanther

www.frontlinehobbies.com.au

again lol

smithy

CV9030, VBL and FENNEK!

plus M551 Sheridan. Reasonably accurate one this time please!

And M1070 HET with trailer.

All in plastic of course!

I'd like to see an m198 or m777, in plastic. then maybe a new m60. DML or others could use the chassis for so many variants, and it will be better than the really outdated tamiya one with the motorization holes.
I second the requests for some MRAP vehicles!

edit: some civilian vehicles in 1/35th in plastic would be great as well.

Dennis...your not alone...but even thought their either old OOP or resin, I have everyone of the missiles (and then some) you mentioned on the shelf now and most are available on ebay.
Granted, it would be great to have them all in 1/35 and re-tooled, but I can think of 100 others that have not been made into a kit yet. I would like to see those first!

But.....your not alone.

Rounds Complete!!

CV-90 (30, 35 or 40 version - I dont care, as long as it´s the CV90 :-)

drove one of these beasts some weeks ago and it´s the coolest "little tank"

It´s being implemented in Sweden, Norway, Holland and Denmark - so theres potentiail for different versions as well!!

How about a plastic M54 5 ton truck, M52 SPH, M114 and ontos. There are some in resin but I prefer plastic.

The M54 would sell like cakes.

Have a nice day,
Angel

Special forces!
Buffalo
Mrad

I should also add some of the mine-protected vehicles that the South Africans used like the Buffel and Casspir.

Great topic i just dont think too many model kit producers will pay too much attention to us here and they'll just keep building the same old stuff with upgrades and different color options
..i do lift my hat to you Paul for trying, well done! I agree with your comments on the dragon 1/72nd scale kits, if indeed they did reproduce some of them in 1/35th i do believe they would sell! Alas i'll leave a few suggestions in hope that someone out there will listen (and I'll try not to be too selfish with my idea's)

* 1/35th Newer HMMWV kits ie M1113/4 versions in injection
* 1/35th SISU X180 6X6 APC (I cant understand why this widely used modern APC hasnt been produced yet)
* 1/35th Bushmaster Vehicle and variants ie used by Aussies in Iraq
* 1/35th M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle (newer version of V-150 commando used by US Army
* 1/35th Armoured Israeli Landrovers and Land cruisers (from 1980's to present)
* 1/35th Fennec or Dingo's (used in afghanistan)
* More 1/35th modern british armour (what about RUC/PSNI armoured landrovers from N.IRELAND)
* More M1/35th civi jeeps, ie nissans/toyotas..

..I could go on but any more additional suggestions would become slightly selfish, i think the above kits would be very marketable. New era armour and vehicles are quite limited when you compare them to the amount of WWII stuff on the market.
As ican see by previous posts alot of our suggestions are throwing up the similar results, common sense would say theres a gap in the market here!

I only wish some kit maker will have enough courage to produce some new kits in the near future and fill a large gap in the market which could easily be filled with some good research and a little fresh thinking!

Thanks for listening

What about a MTVR 7-ton truck (uparmored or not) ?


Frenchy

I totally agree on the M2/3A3s with interior please!
A Stryker with slat armor that didn't cost $300.00 would be nice.
I would love to see an up-to-date IHAWK system with all the Radars and vans. My first 3 years in the Army were in IHAWK.
