Spanish BMR, VEC and Rebeco would be nice, but all of them need a good set of spanish legionnaires. Maybe as important as the vehicles are the figures that are on or around them, so new kits about british, german, russian, french and other NATO countries troops are really necessary.
You will find the spanish kits your looking for on nimix.net , i got stuff there before and there not bad at all

Other folks have mentioned some interesting things - I'd love to see modern armored Humvees myself. I don't think anyone has mentioned the late, unlamented Gama Goat though!

Someone should make the Panhard AML family (including the uniquely Irish AML-20) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhard_AML,
the Mowag Piranha 3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mowag_Piranha,
Ratel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratel_IFV
and different versions of the Centurion (Semel, Olifant, the newer Sho't Kals and the Tempest and others)

The vehicles I was talking about have resin kits, but I prefer plastic for the vehicles, is easier to assemble a plastic kit that a resin one. In the case of figures I don´t mind if they are made of plastic or resin if the moulding, the sculpture are nice.

I prefer plastic over resin because I am a newbie when it comes to resin, I do not know how to work with it.

Modern armor kits eh? Lets see....
Well, the tank hasn't entered service yet but Japan's prototype main battle tank, the Type 10, due to enter service in 2010/2011, looks pretty cool. It'd be great if Tamiya kitted the vehicle once it enters service. Below is a link to a pic of the recently unveiled prototype.

I'd also like to see somebody make a new mould of an AMX-30. Both Tamiya and Heller's 35th scale kits are discontinued and hard to find. Not sure as to the quality of the Heller kit. And Tamiya's kit has it's origins in the 60's, so it won't be up to today's standards.
Found this on you tube.

Hey, I want one of these too, if they ever come out. I love military vehicles with colorful markings. More countries used to put their emblem on the turret of their tanks, but too many of today's armies leave their vehicles unmarked, or give them only boring markings, like just a serial number. I hate that.

I'd say: Fennek (Germany) and Centauro (Italy) both in 1:35. The latter is available only in resin, so I mean I would like to see plastic kits.

Russian armor. Accurate ones
Also the Soviet built a huge variety of weird vehicles based on them. I know, there's the resin kit option, but it's $$$.
That would be my first choice as well. A state of the art T-80U/BV and a T-90 are really big holes in 1/35 armor. New tool, accurate Merkava III/IIID/IV would be next in line for me.

hmm, modern stuff...
I would like to see at least 20 types of "what if the Germans won WW2" paper Tigers
But seriously,
- anything Soviet would be welcome, especially equipment with missiles and the support vehicles with radars and so on.
- A Fennek would be highly appreciated
- An Antar tank transporter would also find a way to my stash
- Anything made by DAF (Dutch people know what I'm talking about)
- some modern mobile bridge equipment?????
- more cargo trucks!!!!!
- mine clearing equipment
I could go on for hours

Something tells me that some if not most of those will be announced this year, in resin.

Yeah I’d like to see more transportation vehicles/cargo haulers used today. I also would like to see some engineer vehicles and equipment. Addition to that a line of generators, water buffalos, radar/radio equipment would be great.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMEN to that brother,i love modern trucks and transporters but aside from Accurate Armour here in the UK,NO-ONE makes anything like it.The only exception i`ve found is Revell,which is great IF you love German stuff !!.
If any of the major manufacterers reads this,please let`s have some stuff from other countries,not just for the Bundeswehr.

My patriotic gut feeling tells me that a Wolverine APC (or Patria AMV for those who don't recognize the name) is a must have, perhaps with options for AMOS and NEMO mortars.
Other than that, let's see... Injection-molded mine resistant vehicles, such as the Nyala or the fabled Iraqui "Claw" would be pretty sweet. BMD-4's, with Sprut assault gun options and new Bachcza turrets would also be win on many, many levels.
Finally, I'd love some less known pieces. Dana / Zuzana wheeled SP gun, a Rooikat (hope I haven't mixed something flying into the name here) or a good looking Tunguska set would be really great.

Once again, FAST ATTACK VEHICLES!
And I don't mean the two-seater dune buggies. I mean the 4X4 and 6X6 specialized ones by Land Rover, Rheinmetall, Flyer, FMTV "War Pig," Chenowth DPV and LAV, Wolf-G Wagon, etc. Crews would be nice too.
I know Accurate Armor and Pro Art Models produce a few Special Forces vehicles. I would like to see some in plastic though.

There is a tread currently running on this site trying to gather views as to what figures we would like to see produced, I would like to speak up for those if us who like building modern kits in 1/35 scale.
Cookie,
The biggest thing I would like to see is more modern Chinese military vehicles. They have some pretty cool stuff in the PLA. I know there are some tanks made by Trumpeter, and they are are pretty good in most cases (except for the atrocious models such as their early Type-98 tank model). But what about some of the other vehicles like the Type-92B Red Arrow-9 ATGW vehicle, the ZBD-03 airborne vehicle, the Type-63 APC? Tose would be great kits and if marketed properly would likely be good sellers.
