Hi Gang,
2015 is now in all Armorama country. So it`s time for the obligatory wishlist. While we are live in happy times with MANY new releases, there are still some gaps to close:
- Chieftain family
- Transportpanzer Fuchs family
- Vehicule Avant Blinde family
- Schützenpanzer kurz
- Schützenpanter HS 30
- M728
- M60 AVLB
of course the list could be continued infinitly

Cheers
Hans-Hermann

I'd like to see a new-tool Challenger 1. The Tamiya kit, although nice, has a lot of details needing fixing. Oh, and a T-54 family too.

But the truth is, most of my wish list has been ticked off over the last couple of years.

Mine would be:

Australian conversion for Revell's Unimog 1:35
Australian m113as4 by meng or bronco
More trumpeter Aslav variants (fitter/recovery)
And some decent 1/35 modern Australian infantry kits

But what we will probably see is another 2/3 variants of the panzer IV from dragon

Any word if showcase models australia are planning another 1:35 release??

Hi folks

HNY to you all. Like to see some new head sets for WW1 British Troops and some new Generic WW1 figures, particularly Artillery crew and wounded troops. Mounted troops would be good too and some lorries for the WW1 era, maybe some Chinese laborers for the same period ans some Simplex engines, wagons and track.

I'd also like to see some Jungle Brits and Aussies with mules with loads and India Army Head Sets for conversions.

Cheers

Al

I'd like a new bergpanther. I had the old Italier kit before and wound up trashing it.

Hi friends,

Within end of January: to complete the sd.kfz.251/7 pionerwagen, then all efforts dedicated to a diorama about the battle of Berlin, April '45. Special guest stars: Cyber Hobby Hetzer and Dragon Jagd Tiger, both ordered and expected to arrive end of Jan.

Then...we'll see...

Cheers

Giovanni

I'll second M113, Pz68 and M18 Hellcat (ok, not modern, but its derivative, the M39 was mostly post war, so does that count?). And I'm still waiting for MR Modellbau's M109 KAWEST conversion.

Cheers!
Stefan

Ooooo, not to forget, we desperately need a new tool Pz IV Ausf. P and a Tiger II as manufactured on January 23rd 1945 at 10.25hrs...

I, too, would like to see some SADF kits in plastic. Especially a Ratel.

Another I'd like to have are some WWI German tank riders.
