Man I'd like to see a ZSU23-4 Shilka and an SA-6 Gainful in Braille scale. A friend of mine made some UNBELIEVEABLE turned barrels in 72nd scale for my ARMO Shilka, but the kit is so bad I haven't built up the nerve to tackle it yet.

Landrover 110, Landrover Perentie
M113A1 (the academy kit is too old and has too many errors) Its one of the most produced AFVs ever. I’m sure it would sell!!!!!
An accurate M113 engine (no one even does it in resin!!!!)
Bushmaster
Rapier
Did I say an accurate M113A1? (perhaps with a drivers bay that even remotely looks like the real thing)

I don't know is it ok? are you asking if it's a M1117? and shouting ok for fun?

How about a bit more information other then a picture of a frame?
release date? number of parts? any variant options in the kit?

Can you tell us any thing other then weird, random replys?

GAOYUE,
PM answered, will see what I can do. Thanks for additional pics. However, the suspension arms seem to be the wrong shape:

WOW, i really love this topic!
I have to find some place at home for these new modern kits!
A few years ago i didn't think i could see one day plastic Centauro / M1117 / AAV7 RAMS with EAAK / ariete / Strv122/ Maz ...
By the way a M54 in vietnam truck should be a good seller when we know how many versions of guntrucks we could do with a good base.

Perentie? Yes please. How about a Bushmaster while we're at it. Also some of the african armored vehicles such as Buffel, Hippo etc.

Due to cost cutting measures the Hippo has been redisigned.



Great thread.

Cheers

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

Matthijs

Now how do you get into that Hippo ?

Well it seems that the Perentie is going to be replaced by the 'Nary' (nee Jackal). We may as well get one of those as well

Way to go.......
Gayoue routinely gives us advanced shots of Trumpeter's models here on the DG. He doesn't have to do this. He also receives help from members (more often than not - posted by guys in the field )that help him with accuracy issues. Why don't you show alittle respect and just enjoy the info. I don' think the other Modelling sites have this interaction......
