I'd love to see hobby boss
pop out the UK version of the HET M1070F

All I want is an FAV....

If one does a TAM (Revell or Tamiya are the most likely having a Marder IFV) then please allow for making any differences to a TH301 as well. And any upgrades it currently gets.

A TH301 would be a nice part of a Twilight:2000 diorama or two.

love to see AFV club do the fv600 series in 1/35th scale.

Sorry if it's already taken, but it's about time, that Dragon get their head out of their a.. and do the Bergepanther.

Having posted this before and elsewhere on this site, I thought it fitting to post here as well. My top pick and choice: the AML 90 (and 60)!!! If anything, just for the variety of operators (just think of all those decals that have to be purchased), and especially the camo schemes, etc.:

I second that, delivering around East Anglia I`ve seen a lot of these floating around so I`d love to have a model of one.
Also Accurate Armour have discontinued theirs (not that I could have afforded one anyway !)

I wish Tamiya would release an updated M3 Halftrack and an M4A1 Sherman.

1/48 Comet and Churchill in plastic...

I'll probably just have to build these in a different scale.

I would like to see the following,
M 55
M 53
M 746
A GLMC launcher and tractor unit.
Not much.

My list is as follows :

Note, all would be injection plastic...for ease of assembly.

1/35 Straight Flush radar vehicle..interesting subject...would be a nice companion for the Trumpeter Gainful.

1/35 FAV...either DML or Hobby Boss would be fine...both have previously promised it, but never delivered

1/35 RPG set..because you can never have enough PRGs...DML Quartermaster series style, with double of everything. Why have these never been addressed? Shameful.

1/35 MH-6 Little Bird..DML have reissued their AH-6 and Kitty Hawk are making one, too, but where are the MH-6s?

1/35 A more Modern US accessory set, geared toward armor..mainly for M1s and Bradleys, from Tamiya...Molle Packs, CIP panels (for M1s, this time), DUKE antennas, Water Boxes, Coolers & MRE boxes...skip the tiny dog and replace it with a vicious military working dog, too..ha ha. I've already bought both Meng sets, for some of these items.

1/35 Gator atv...great for an Afghanistan diorama.

1/35 M1068...I have a 3-d printed generator on the way, to modify an M577, but a proper kit would be nice.

All in 1/35th, with suggestions for likely manufactures:

- NVA Type 63 APC/tank combo (Trumpeter)
- Aussie Centurion Recovery vehicle (AFV Club)
- South African Buffel (Takom)
- South African infantry figures (MasterBox)
- Alouette III helo with "K-Car" mod in South African service (Airfix, Revell G., Dragon)
- British Humber Pig (N.I) (Takom)
- British Saracen (N.I) (Takom)
- British Army, I.R.A., and civilians from the years of The Troubles (MasterBox)
- ANY un-kitted amtrac or landing craft (Italeri, AFV Club)
- French Army and AFV crews, Algeria up through Mali (MasterBox)
- LVTE-5 "Potato Digger" (AFV Club, how 'bout it...?!!)
- Any Vietnam Riverine craft (AFV Club)
- Vietnam War hovercraft PACV, ACV
- SEAL STAB boat or a Boston Whaler
- Ch-54 Skycrane helo (why not...?)

And many more...


With Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

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...

My wish list is short. I want a New Tool, ACCURATE model of the only armored vehicle I crewed that I shed a tear for when they were replaced by M60A1s: the M551 Sheridan. I'll take it in any scale 1/35th and up. I was the driver, and I got that puppy to go 60 mph, actually drifting it around corners at Baumholder Training Area. Unfortunately it had a bad habit of frying circuit boards when that bigass main gun popped a cap....I thought putting a 30mm in place of the main gun and a minigun coax would be more appropriate for a recon vehicle. You hear me, manufacturers!?!?!?!? M551!M551!M551!

Nope, not for a single second
We're having fun dreaming and hoping though
but, who knows, maybe some manufacturer gets an idea or two ....
/ Robin

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!

Given how much of MY last lists exist now like:

New Leopard1A3/A4
New Gepard
New Luchs
New Chieftain (Including a Mk10)
M48A2GA2 in 1:35
...

Yes, I do believe this will happen.

M777A2 155mm Towed Howitzer!

Chris

you're right Joe, about the Halftrack, about time, and it's an M3A2 prototype, never made it into production.

Well said! But..... an M8 dozer kit for the M48 would be pretty cool, and a Merk 2 from Meng or Tamiya, or maybe Tamiya doing an update on their ancient but pretty good Merk 1 would make me pretty happy.
Mmmm, and the ammo trailer towed behind the M4(105) in plastic would be cool too.
And since I'm still here, anyone remember a poll from Pat Stansell a while ago about what might make a good kit in 1/24 scale? I'm still thinking a Sherman, any Sherman, in 1/24 would be a real sales monster.

* 1/35 CRRC with outboard motor
* 1/35 USSOCOM Ground Mobility Vehicle in plastic with the latest additions such as turret gun shield, ammo cans, backpacks, SATCOM, etc.
* 1/35 USSOCOM Polaris MRZR JP-8 with crew (can also be used by the Marines)
* 1/35 modern snowmobile with crew
* 1/35 "Big Game" African Safari animals, namely the elephant, rhino, lion, giraffe, and hippo
* 1/35 and 1/16 modern Arctic soldiers in snowsuits and snowshoes
* 1/35 USMC M1161 ITV "Growler" four-seater with weapons ring and crew in plastic
* 1/35 USSOCOM Flyer 60 and Flyer 72 with crew in plastic
* 1/24 U.S. "Ford Police Interceptor" sedan and SUV
* 1/24 U.S. Chevy and Ford SUVs to make government vehicles
* 1/24 and 1/48 modern machine guns, rifles, and shotguns in plastic
* 1/24 modern police, SWAT, construction workers, and firefighters
* 1/24 male and female figures in suit (makes for a nice government agent--could be armed or unarmed)
* 1/16 and 1/24 soldiers. Really, 1/35 is becoming too small for figure modelers who want soldiers displayed solo. I see some (3D) figure sculptors going to 1/24 (75mm) now.
* 1/35 Lenco Bearcat SWAT armored car
* 1/24 F350 cherry picker with utility body in plastic
* 1/24 F350 modern wildfire brush truck with skid unit in utility bed
* 1/35 African pirates with weapons
* Sci-Fi figure tech to become really high-tech like those soldiers you see in today's Sci-Fi video games (not the Post-Apocalyptic, zombie, Steampunk, Dieselpunk, or WW2-1946 Sci-Fi tech we have now)
* More 1/35 high-tech Sci-Fi soldiers
* 1/20 non-Ma.K Sci-Fi guns
* 1/12 modern soldiers ("Little Armory" makes cool and accurate 1/12 modern plastic guns for dolls, but there are few, if any 1/12 soldiers to use those guns)
* More modern books on soldiers, units, and conflicts. Gosh, I miss Concord's "Special Operations Journals" and "Armed Forces Journal" even if they didn't sell well (or was it distribution issues?). I miss them because those Concord journalists went to places, units, and conflicts that magazines and newspapers often don't go to. Some Japanese hobby books still do this, but the text is all in Japanese.

1/35 BTR-152
1/48 T-55
1/48 Shot Kal

I'd LOVE to see an M667 Lance missile system or a Pershing II system in 1/35th plastic
