I would like to see a K200 and a K21 KNIFV. THe K200 shouldn't be too hard since it's based off the M113.

A 1/35 Leopard 1 mine plow would be great.
How about an injection moulded 1/35 Centurion ARV Mk.2?...AFV Club?
Revell-Germany needs to keep their Leopard momentum going and upscale their 1/72 Biber to 1/35. There is no excuse now...the Bundeswehr has them deployed in Afghanistan and their new 1/72 combo kit has a Biber in the camouflage used in Afghanistan.

I'd like to see an M19 SPAAG in 35th (are you listening Bronco?).
A Type 63 conversion for a T34 wouldn't be bad either, but really and truly, I want an M1A1 and an M2 90mm AA gun in 35th.

I'll second an updated Bradley series, with full interior (come on Hobby Boss, you did it for the LVTP7/AAVP7 series). An updated M113A3, with full/accurate interior. The M777 howitzer, HIMARS, M119 in plastic.
How about some more 1/35 helos: a new UH-1D/H/N/Y, AH-1Z, UH-43.
Softskins: M54 series trucks, M800 series trucks. Trumpeter needs to release their M1078 and M1083 armored cabs, along withtheir USMC MTVR. M1075 PLS, PLS and FMTV trailers. CPK (Cab Protection Kit) for M900 series 5 tons, and M900 OIF Guntruck.

Just registered, but a long time "lurker". Some real great suggestions here, would love to see the M911. I wish someone would do a Diamond T 980, one of the nicest looking trucks in WW2. While were at it, how about a Scammel Pioneer? Can you tell I love the tank transport rigs?!

I love these "wish list" threads!!
Top of my list:
M777 Howitzer
Close second:
One of the big companies to do ANYTHING from WWI!! Start with an FT17 or Mk IV. C'mon Tamiya and Trumpeter! The 100th anniversary of the tank is approaching!

I'd just like to see more animated figures out there. All the recent kits just have figures standing around or pointing And Russians. Somebody has to make another good Russian infantry kit. I don't dare suggest MORE Germans, but another Fallschirmjager kit would be cool too.
I know this is under the Armor/AFV forums, but I just thought I'd throw those out there Everyone else posted all the good armor suggestions

I believe the man asked for suggestions ONLY FOR MODERN VEHICLES
I just thought of one.. and they already have the basic hull for it.. how about a new Shilka?
And I also second a new Bradley w/inerior.. M113A3 w/interior.. Warrior w/interior.. and so on. All the major vehicles (tracked and wheeled) used in OIF

I echo a few voices on here about an updated M113A3 or just an updated series of M113s. Academy tried and its held up ok, but how about a really up to date one with todays kit standards? AFV Club and Hobbyboss I know you can do it!
And how about an MTVR already?!

Hello Gentlemen,
first of all thank you for all the suggestions.
But I need how to explain how thinks are going in Nuremberg.
The Nuremberg Messe is VERY big, but not all major companies have their own stand. There are stands from Dragon, Trumpeter, Heller, Revell, Tamiya, Hasegawa and Italeri to name a few. Some other companies, like AFV Club are only represented by the distributors. The guys at the stands are mostly from the companies marketing department, which means they have no knowledge about the models they produce. So if you go there you better have you laptop full of pictures of the desired subjects.
As for the Mk.48 LVS truck, I spoke with Trumpeter about the HEMTT family (I can provide very good materials about this vehicle)some years ago. If you consider, how many (or few)
good detail pics of the Mk.48 are out on the net, it it´s unlikely hat we ever see the LVS in plastic. So first we a need modeller/soldier who has access to the truck and take a VERY detailed walkaround (a thousand pics or so). Then we would need a set of drawings which will be really hard to come by. And the LVS`s articulated joint is tricky to construct.
As you can see, it`s really not easy to make a favorite model for an affordable price.

Completly forgot about the BV-206, BV-206S and BvS 10 family . A lot of NATO contries have this in their inventory in different variants.
Or the UK MOD BRONCO .
There are some many variants that could be built with these, even civilian..
