Honest John & Launch Truck (later model)

Iltis 4x4; potential for recce, TOW, Ambulance, and more versions

40mm Bofors SP Gun on CMP chassis...AFV Club & IBG?

M-777

I'd also like to see AFV Club produce a Centurion ARV and AVRE 165mm

Trumpeter to release a LAV Coyote based on the ASLAV and a LAV Bison based off ASLAV-PC kits

Dream kit: 1/35 UDL Cheyenne Dropship from Aliens.

Without scrolling through all 18 pages (!) forgive me if I'm repeating something, but I sure think a re-do of the M48 by Tamiya would be a super seller. It seems like a natural, what with them going back and revisiting some of their older releases and doing them again, modern tooling and all, like the Matilda, Sheridan, Stuart....

You had me at ………….Dream kit: 1/35 UDL Cheyenne Dropship from Aliens.
But add the APC inside it and the Marine Squad and make it from Tamiya or Meng

Halcyon kitted the APC from Aliens. https://historymill.wordpress.com/aliens-apc-135-halcyon-kit/ https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC2.A0.H0.Xhalcyon+aliens.TRS0&_nkw=halcyon+aliens&_sacat=0

A decent Early Tiger

The Halcyon ALIENS APC kits are super-rare and hard to find these days, commanding high prices for complete unbuilt ones.

They're really not that great kits...just a hollow box...but they are the only 1/35
"Game in town."

Someone on StarshipModeler made accurate resin wheels and front wheel pivots that allow the front wheels to pose steering at an angle.

Or maybe an all new M60?

Takom and Afv-club finally did her justice after Dragon's half hearted tries. Afv-club has been teasing an M48, maybe before the new decade is out.

I have noticed a trend with Tamiya. I know it could be coincidence but it has happened more than once. Tamiya will reissue their old version of a kit and then a couple of years later announce a new version.

It happened with nearly every redux by Tamiya so far to include the Sheridan. (Re-released 2011 after long time OOP then original M60A1 and M60A2 in 2013)
Stuart M3, M10, Matilda all followed same pattern.

I think it's a kind of trial balloon. Other companies watch the big T so may be judging what to do next based on them. But this is a long term process that takes years to come about.

Ironically, there is a book out now called "Alien: Blueprints" with detailed specifications and schematics of the vehicles (Licensing is another issue). So a model kit company could make a 100% accurate representation of the ALIENS UDL Dropship and APC in various scales. The green ALIENS Technical Manual has detailed photos of the Colonial Marines and their weapons.

But getting back to the real world it would be great to see

Can anyone tell me more on the possible 1/35 M-65 Atomic Annie by I Love Kits? I have never heard about this company....any more news on the release
