Some Gen 2 tank crews would be nice, and some Canadians, from any period in plastic.

I'm with Frank,

Some troops at ease"modern".
Isurgents and civilian figures all modern.
Canadian troops.
Viet Nam civilians and troops again at ease.

With all the specific figures being produced - mainly German tank crewmen. I would like to see DML do a figure set for their M2 Half Track based on this photo:

The two map readers, the guy laying on the hood, and the fella standing in the passenger seat.

I would also like to see both Argentine and British soldiers of the Falklands was. I love the Argentine Commandos with their black beanies.

I wouldn't mind seeing some modern forces. Canadien, US, Iraqi, Afghan, British, or German...

My real want is for Marines in MOPP gear in plastic from Dragon so that I can finally finish my Nasyria project!! I also wouldn't mind seeing a new Korean war figure set. Something where Marines are actually shooting... I am sick of guys looking around and walking places. For god's sake I want ACTION!

Hey all,
In plastic, anything WW II Allied, especially British or Commonwealth tank crew, vehicle drivers and passengers, European and North African theaters.
More figures, Japanese, ANZAC, U.S. and British, from the Pacific Theater would also be warmly greeted !!
Cheers

Hi there!

That would be great!

I´d like to see brazilian infantry figures in action at Monte Cassino (Italy - WWII).



That would be a little odd since they weren't there. They did however join in the battles on the Gothic Line and later on the breakthrough into the Po Valley.

Modern British servicemen, the UK was the second biggest contributor to both Iraq and is now in Afgan yet the last modern UK set in plastic I can remember were released by DML back in the early 1990's!

Masterbox please please release the russian hussar figure in 1/32 you said you would on this site!!!!

On a slightly separate note as much as I am impressed by both Masterbox and Miniart output, please please can you both stop announcing new sets and then waiting over a year to release them. I'm all for giving early production photos to get constructive feedback but there are sets on MB web site that have been " in production for over a year if not two"!

There is a shortage of DAK figures, for instance there are no DAK figures (exception being one Motorcycle driver by MIG) with great coats. I have seen several photos of DAK soldiers standing in the back of Std 251 talking to tank crews wearing great coats. The desert was cold in the mornings. Not enough DAK infantry, at ease with or without webbing, etc. Could be a greater variety of tank crew poses also.

There is not enough commwealth desert troops as well, tank crews, infantry.

Someone making some of the figures of the suggestions we post repeatedly over the years.

Seriously....when you think about it...this thread question is as old as the forums themselves.
