My wishlist:
Leopard 2A4 in 1:48 and 1:16
Leopard 2A4 Finland
Leopard 2A4 Singapore
Leopard 2 ARV Buffel
Leopard 1 ARV Standard
A new-tooled and decent Challenger 1
MENG should release their Chieftain Mk. 9 (overdue...)
A new-tooled and decent Leopard 1 - first batch
A decent styrene early track for Leopard 1 (Chevron pattern)
Think all these items are overdue.
Cheers / Stephan

Stephan, you didn't write down the scale, so is it 1/72 or 1/35? If it's the last one I agree with many of your wishes, especially the Leo ARV's and the finnish Leo. But let me add 2 more kits to that list:
1/35 Leopard 1 Bridglayer "Biber"
1/35 VW Iltis

Btw: What about that recently out Revell Leopard 1 (early) in 1/35? I've built it as a belgian Leo and enjoyed the build.

I totally agree with those pointing out Leopard 1’s in 1/35.
I good, solid and well detailed Leopard 1 tank would be nice for a start; one with a interior, being it only pertly, would be so much better.

Both the ARV and the Biber would be cool in plastic.

Besides these I would love to see
VW 181 Jagdwagen
Mowag Piranhia III - any version would be welcome
Honest John (such a Cold War icon)

That box - isn't that Calvin's Transmogrifier (from Calvin & Hobbes)?

Do you guys REEEEALLY think that any of these "wish-things" will ever come to fruition..? Seriously..?

The only real things that you can count on is more 1/35 re-boxed Tiger Is from DRAGON, and old re-boxed ITALERI kits from TAMIYA...

As a matter of fact I think the answer is yes! I mean really Dennis, did you ever think we would see the Object 279 in plastic? or the Conqueror, t-24, T-18, a new tool T-35/T-28. How about the T29 series, or the US T54, or how about the Hobbyboss Vickers series? I could go on and on about kits I never thought we would see in plastic, what a wonderful time to be an armor modeler!

Ok, might not be a long list but here is my 2 cents:

* BAE Systems Land Systems OMC RG32M
* Husky TSV (not the ugly mine-clearing thing...)
* The Quad-kit that Bronco announced some time ago.
* Swedish Archer artillery system.
* Swedish PBV 302
* Swedish PBV 401 (MT-LB, would be nice to be able to build it straight from the box... Hope someone from Trumpeter is listening...)
* And of course lots of Swedish soldiers to go with all the vehicles.

Well, I think that's it!

I didn't know about it until this morning. Then I realised that I have really wanted an HMEE (coming from Panda).

I have also a very big need for an MSS, Magical Storage System.
The system consists of a big box, about twice the size of a large U-Haul box 48 inches long instead of 24, which has lids on both sides and a stamp collector book/folder.
Open the lid marked Store and put the kit box inside, close the lid, wait for 10 seconds for the magic formulas to do their work, open the lid and retrieve the kit box which has now shrunk to the size of a stamp. Store the stamp in the stamp collector book. Those with really large collections can buy more of the storage books.
To restore the kit to its real size open the other lid on the magic box, marked Restore, put the little stamp inside, wait ten seconds and then retrieve the kit box. Always make sure that you only insert one stamp at the time. If two stamps are inserted the probable result is a kitbash with parts mixed between the kits.

It doesn't work on built kits but that is a minor problem

Astounding how many of the wishes from May 2017 have been fulfilled here in September 2018.
M54 truck?
Panthers galore
New M3 Lee different production versions!
M3 Stuart
New Sheridan
Assorted WW1 softskins
New Polish tankettes

But no matter what comes out or whatever variant is kitted someone always cries "why wasn't it X?

I predict interior Sherman kits on the way.

I can have fun with this.

Let's see for military:

MB Zetros

Fennik

CUCV (M1008, M1009 blazer, M1010 ambulance, M1031 maintenance contact truck)

HMEE (High Mobility Engineer Excavator)

SEE (Small Emplacement Excavator)

VW Vanagon (basic van, standard cab, and crew cab versions with USAEUR and German army markings)

M113 or M2 Bradley OSV (OPFOR Surrogate Vehicle)

Stingray light tank

M8 AGS

M7 BFIST

CV-9030/35/40

SPz Puma



Civilian 1/25:

Any modern fire apparatus (E-One, Pierce, KME)



Aircraft (1/144 or 1/72):

C-5A/M
C-141
A330 MRTT
KC-46

Panda already announced kits for the HMEE and the M8 AGS in 1/35
Hobby Boss already has the CV90 family of vehicles in 1/35
Revell already has 1/35 kit of the schutzenpanzer Puma in 1/35 (Trumpeter I think had the Puma listed as a future release).
