I guess I'll toss in my 1/35th scale plastic wish list. A 78 foot Higgins and 77 foot Elco P.T. boats. A Japaness landing craft would be welcome too. More figures. W.W.2- U.S.M.C. and U.S. Army, Japaness, Australian, Indian, British and natives of the South Pacific. A set of coast watchers and natives with radio and hand cranked generator. Also more U.S.Navy figures for the P.T.'s and landing craft. American air crews either in planes or running to them. Early Marine Corp. figures from Wake island. Some Sea Bees also. S.P. natives in their types of boats. Anything South Pacific related. At ease, patroling and fighting, working. Korean war figures, both sides. North V,N, regulars and V.C. and villagers, and of course U.S. Army and Marine Corps. Navy figures for the river boats that are out and helicopter crews for all the hueys we have. Also some wild life figures of animals from the South Pacific Islands, wild boars, monkeys, birds and ducks, crockadiles and other reptiles you would encouter. A few Navy equipment tractors like the type for loading torpedos and lifting large engines. A plastic Bucyress crane and shovel which would be more affordable then the resin stuff out there. Some Japaness construction trucks and a bulldozer, grader,dump truck. As for planes, a 1/35th or 1/32nd scale Devestator; An .W.W.2 aircraft ordenance set would be nice also, bombs, torpedos, depth charges and the trolleys to go with them. Some life boats, allied or axis. motor and hand rowed. Just a smal list to give manufacters ideas.

In addition to my AML 90 in 1/35th styrene...

more 1/35th train/locomotive/railroad related subjects...any country. Start slowly by coming out with WW2/Korean subjects...then other eras.



As to more 1/35 train/locomotive/railroad-related subjects- Wasn't Jon at COMMANDER MODELS working on a 1/35 WWII US Army S-160 2-8-0 Steam Locomotive w/Tender..?



I recall something to that affect on an upcoming 2-8-0.

I also found out that LZ Models (Ireland) is still working on a couple of locomotives releases as well, in 1/35th. I think the BR80 could be first, and I think they are also working on a BR01. These two loco's are delays from 2014 plans. No date for a 2015 release however.

And since we're at the ongoing desires on what we want in plastic...

more 1/35 marine subjects: PT boats and the such.

more 1/35 aircraft, choppers.

more 1/35 cars, pickups...for that 'terrorist', 'technical' display. The ZU-23 (et al) screams to be mounted on the family station wagon, sedan, or pick-em-up!!

more 1/35 decals: for the above mentioned bad guy stuff...especially terrorist/technical related and focus on the Middle East, Africa and the Baltic region to start. Be patient on other areas, the terrorist will be there soon enough too! LOL

AML-90;



Alright! Another AML 90 fan...aren't they just the cutest!

Like I mentioned before...endless possibilities with this little gem of a vehicle...at least 50 countries, with at least 50 paint schemes, and at least 50 different markings!

How many vehicles, from any country, at any one time in history, can have numbers like this vehicle! Damn few!

Less emphasis on 1/35. I want this to be the year of 1/24 and 1/16 scales.

How about some 1/35 injection molded WWII French vehicles,i.e., motorcycles, halftracks, trucks (lorries for those of you on the other side of the pond(s), armored cars (a new Panhard perhaps?) The old Heller and Alby kits are really showing their age.

These vehicles were used by the French and Germans. The German 21st Panzer Division in Normandy was mostly made up of captured French vehicles and equipment.

I don't have the cash to purchase all of the Resin kits of these vehicles.

Jeff



A Somua S-35 is quite in order. Check out my comments in this thread, asking for PLASTIC kits, in lieu of resin kits and conversions. Not all of us are wealthy...



Just read a news story here on Armorama that ICM is going to do a new Panhard....YEAH!!!! There's hope yet!
