The Finnish Patria IFV would be great, and also the T-90, Bushmaster, Perentie and the Spanish Lince. All of them plastic kits, of course. And moreover a KIT OF SLAT ARMOR IN PLASTIC, I don´t mind if it´s a bit oversized with reference to the real thing, but all the pe kits I have seen seems a real nightmare, so I don´t dare to get one to put in my Stryker, which is waiting for a miracle.
I´ve forgotten two more: German Puma and Boxer, the new tracked and wheeled IFV for Bundeswehr,

What can i say?
Anything modern, british and not over £50.
Trojan
Titan
Bulldog
Mastiff
CVR (all with LEP updates)
Warrior with MWRAP
LOTS OF LANDROVERS!!!
Oshkosh
Centurion AVRE
Foden Wrecker
Get the picture?
Accurate armour and cromwell produce fantastic kits but £100 for the Mastiff, £70 for the challenger ARRV (approximate of course)
Dont get me wrong, they are quality kits but come on guys, theres at least 6 companies making at least 12 different versions of the Abrams and 1 company making an affordable but outdated kit of the cheiftain.
Lets see some affordable kits of some much wanted british subjects.
Just so im not accused of being prejudiced against American subjects, how about a Buffalo and an affordable set of slat armour for my Stryker and MGS.
Sorry, Rant over

Just received the Buffalo. It looks to be quite the kit, albeit with some very minor detail/dimensional issues.

Hi Paul,
I have a similar one going on WW2 British Made Vehicles and a number of folks who have posted there have asked about British Landrovers , which seems to be a major gap at least in the plastic injection field.
I assume these would fall into the modern vehicles arear, well at least post war.
If anyone would like to add their support to my thread, you would be more than welcome.
Here's the link

Good luck in your quest for greater choice, we live in hopeful times.

I'd like to see a Swedish Strf 9040 and possibly the export variants in the kit too, the Stridsfordon 9040 is more commonly known as the CV90 and the 40 bit is to state the 40mm Bofors cannon mounted. There has not been a commercial kit released that I know of, apparently a cottage manafacturer was releasing one a couple of years ago but no news since. I think some manafacturer like Trumpeter or HobbyBoss might pick up on th idea. If HobbyBoss did it, they'd have to do a good crack at it to redeem themselves for the Crappy Leopard 2 series. A swedish armour modeller called Ingvar Svlyegard or something like that scratch built the upgraded Strf9040C variant with the running gear from an old M2 Bradley kit, it appeared in the issue 26 of AFV modeller magazine. I am sure if someone picks up on the idea, It would be popular with Swedish armour fans (Like me!) and maybe someone like Thord Wedman. So if kit manafacturers are scrolling around on the forum for Ideas for their next release, ! Look over ere!!!

Modern Russian jeeps like the GAZ/UAZ models, used by countless countries. Don't leave us with just the rarely seen BJ212.
Civilian vehicles covering '70s / '80s / '90s for use in dioramas or for unofficial combattants. I am thinking of '70s era Mercedeses for the Lebanon conflict, '80s era VW Golfs for the Balkans conflict (somehow these seem 'signature' cars for the time and place) and various pick-ups, light trucks and SUVs, perhaps also in military police guise.
Unimogs, more of them, especially older types used by so many forces all over the world, and better than the Revell offering.

Hi Guys,
Not my subject but I would buy and build an AFV 432 and a Short or Long Wheel base Land Rover if they were available in plastic 1/35 scale. Probably a Ferret Sc as well.

Some soft skin vehicles like Lada Niva, VW Iltis, ARO, UAZs, Tatras etc. would be nice - these are used by a number of nations. Also a good early T-54. Additionally some artillery pieces and mortars.
