Ok 1st We NEED a M1/M1IP w/interior.

A M113 family of vehicles with interior.

A AVLB from AFV.

A M2/3 Family with interior.



I'm perfectly fine with this ABV.
I will be very happy with a M60 AVLB also, but that's a thing for another post, as any "we need" or "why not the ... instead?" we always find with every single new release.

What do you mean with a M2/3 family with interior? You are talking about the first versions of the Bradley?
We already got the very good Meng M2A3 kit, and I may be corrected here, but we can still build more than decent models with a bit of work mixing it with Tamiya parts.

I was about to say the same thing. First, it's off-topic. We need to celebrate M1 ABV.
Then Meng has great recent M2A3 and M3A3 kits, while the old Tamiya (and Academy copies) Bradleys will look good with some elbow grease.
Newer M113s have already been announced by AFV Club and Takom(?). There's a rumor for a Dragon's version, too. We need some patience. Additionally, old Academy kits can still be made into decent M113s.

AVLB - I don't expect it from happening. Takes up too much polystyrene plastic. LOL

Long live RFM!

Dragon already has the M60 and M48 hulls, an AVLB wouldn't take that much more research

Get over it and stop whining. Why can't people just be happy we are getting new kits? You may want something, but whining about it here does no good and people just get tired of hearing about it.

Ok lets slow down.

RFM is being discussed here, They made the M1A1 w/interior so I know they look at post an email too me says so.

But RFM we need a M1/M1IP w/interior.

So this is my opinion. This isn't a dictatorship.

With this new kit on the way (supposedly),
Some diorama inspirations for ABV from Youtube (some Abrams and Bradley actions, too):
