My previous recs can be attributed to a blonde moment as I listed WWII/Korea era armor, so for modern subjects I would like to see the following items in plastic.

1/72 M939 (5-ton) & M198
1/72 MTVR (7-ton) & M777

1/48 AAVP7A1 RAM/RS

1/35 EFV (Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle USMC)

I feel a M54 5 ton truck is long overdue, as is the M37 3/4 t truck!

and a M76 Otter would top things off for me

MATV
RG series MraP
Actually any of the MRAPS made by Tamiya so I can shake the box and out comes the model
Rather spend my time painting and weathering that fiddling with ultra tiny parts
built the Buffalo and wanted to shoot myself in the middle of it all
I want to build the MATV but I don't want the hassle its a shame
Instead Tamiya releases the Mule or whatever that was and some silly French cars What the heck!
I would even be happy with some Trumpeter MRAP releases
Well theres My list

Cheers Rob.



I was just thinking "Any bridge layer" as I scrolled to your post!

How about AFV Club when they finally issue their new M60 to make a bridge layer out of that one! Wow! Imagine spending less than $100 on aftermarket and all that research time that could be saved to not have to scratch a bridge layer!

Im obviously not as hard core as you guys because i dont know half of the vehicles listed. My wish list is the same as it is most years. I want a Tasca M4 and M4A1(76)w, and for AFV Club to release their M60. I would like Dragon to redo their M103, too. Other than that, im pretty good for kits this year.
