T10M
Type 59 (like the t55 plenty of marking possibilities)
Type 69
M48 series (the old tamiya kit could use an upgrade)

Oh... just remembered an important one... a new GAZ-66 + Zu-23 gun... and, of course, other versions of the GAZ-66 truck.

And the old Unimog 406 trucks.. I remember these were used extensively by all the military factions during the Lebanese civil war.. and I know they're used in many African countries also.

Just throwing the names out there... and even if in the end we get just a couple out of all these lists.. I think that will be good

This is great news, I hope it will be accurate.

This is sad that you can't provide any details.

@ Hisham

I will definitly talk with Revell about ......



Could you please talk to them about a rerun of the Leopard 1a4? They continue to get high prices at eBay every time - there is definately a demand for this kit.

A Chieftain and Leopard 1 series would be welcome indeed. I guess I was thinking primarily of current day originally.

@ Ken Oestergaard

Did you mean the Italeri Leo 1 A4? Revell only produced the Leo 1 A1 A1 and 1 A5

@ all

My contact at Revell told me that it`s more likely that we see a Dingo and a Fennek in 1/35 scale than any non-MBT (Biber, Bergepanzer Büffel etc.) Obviuosly, Revell thinks that only gun equipped models sell well.

But time will tell

If we are talking Revell here, how about:

Roland SAM on Marder chassis (they have a Marder)
Gepard 1A2 (the have a Leopard)
Roland on MAN
LARS II on MAN 7to (They have the MAN)
Jaguar 2 (The KaJaPa / TOW combination)
MARS (or at least the Add-on parts for the Dragon MLRS)
M101A1(L) (or at least the parts to make one from a Dragon/AFV M1/M101)


The "classic triple" of wheeled post WWII vehicles

Mungo
Kurierwagen
Iltis

would also be nice. I'd rather have one of those than a post cold war thingy

- M151 "Kirin" Fast Attack Vehicle jeep and the one with the HMMWV weapons ring. I mean, come on, all these M151 jeeps made each year and no one ever thought of making the LAST M151 jeep in U.S. service? That's just so odd!

- GDLS Flyer Spec Ops vehicle

- GDLS ITV USMC "Growler" with 120mm mortar in tow

- U.S. Navy SEALs 2-seat ATV with M240

- IDF armored HMMWVs in plastic

- USMC Mercedes G-Wagon IFAV

- Toyota Tacoma and Ford F-350 in 1/35 for U.S. Spec Ops

- Czech HiLux with weapons ring and 14.5mm DSHK

- German Dingo and Mungo in 1/35 for Spec Ops

- U.S. Spec Ops M-Gator and ATV in 1/35

- USSOCOM 1/35 HALO soldier with parachute and oxygen mask and aviator uniform

- U.S. S.W.A.T. Bearcat armored truck in 1/35

- Trumpeter should make more modern American La France fire engines...how about a rescue truck, wildfire brushtruck, or Airport Crash Truck?

- USSOCOM HMMWV Ground Mobility Vehicle and "Warpig" LMTV in plastic.

- Spec Ops Combat Rubber Raiding Craft in 1/35...really odd that no one has made the #1 venerable CRRC used by many Spec Ops.

- More 1/35 animals in plastic and resin. Really odd there is no 1/35 lion, African elephant, rhino, hippo, monkey, polar bears, bears, yak, and the like. I mean how about some animals for Ivory Wars, Drug Wars, Jungle Wars, and Arctic Wars?

- Modern Arctic troops in snowsuits and hoods.

- 1/35 modern civilians and females!!!!!

Peter,
Heller at some point made a kit with three scuba divers in a zodiac, it was quite some time ago. I have the kit just instructions and sprues the box is long gone. They must still have the molds somewhere.

Cheers Rob.
