With some time to kill and musing to do, I came up with a list of German stuff in 1/35th I would personally enjoy seeing from the above manufacturers.

1. SdKfz251 C and D- especially a decent /1W, /2, a new /3 all configurations, /6, /7, /8, /9 late, /11, /16, /17 schw.laf., /18, /19, + the other 4 types. AFV Club is getting long in the tooth and Dragon was never up to snuff.

2. SdKfz250 late- all types. Ones on the market are sadly lacking.

3. Opel Blitz 6700A 4x4- a good one.

4. PzIV H w/interior inc. engine. No resin.

5. PzIII L, M + N. Again, a good one with an interior. No resin.

6. Generators in styrene- Sd.Ah.23, 24 + 35. Plus some of the unnumbered ones. Along with this- Sd.Ah. 106 + 107.

7. Sd Kfz 6, 7, 8. 9, 10 + 11. Done properly. (9 is nice, but getting old.)

If you can think of anything please add to this list.

You know you're just setting up another Axis versus Allied kit debate?

Takom to do all the M48 and M60 series. Especially the slick M48 and M60.

And a series of Crusader cruiser tanks to replace a truly aged kit. A great one that it's held on forty years. But a whole new series would be spectacular.

The M11/39 through M15/42 Italian medium tanks.

RFM to continue with the Sherman's and maybe the M4A1E8 and M51?

And Blitzkrieg Pzkpfw III E,G,H and J. and IV B, D, F. With interiors.

I like to build German tanks from when they were still winning battles.

I love doing a good monochrome scheme. But that's me.

Unless it's WWII US/Allied, I'm not interested in any more late WWII German subject matter. The market is already overwhelmingly glutted with that stuff.

Anything else I have to say about this subject will fall on either deaf or hostile ears...

1/35 M60 with interior, M1IP with interior.

A Mack NO. it's sorely missed by Artillery fans.
VR, Russ

I'm not gonna take the bait...

A D7 Rome plow and M123 tractor with M172 trailer before I'm gone please! Wayne

I'd like to see an M53, M-56 Scorpion, new tooled Challenger I, 2s4 Tyulpan and a proper Polish or Czech T-55. All in 1/35.

1/35 M4A1E8,an nice updated M50 Sherman and even a Stridsvagn m/40L.

So, if any other manufacturer other than Takom or RFM would make some of the subjects mentioned, you won't buy them or what?

For years we've seen "we want Chieftain" posts here. Now that there are THREE KITS available, where are all those completed builds?

I guess the title should have included MiniArt since they have released interior kits as well (e.g. their T-55's are VERY nice as are their M3 Grants/Lees apparently).

They did release an early Pz III, but not an interior variant, unfortunately.

South African Eland 90 (Takom already has 2 versions of the AML90 kitted. They just need to change the molds a bit to make the SADF specific version)

South African Ratel series (none have been done before in plastic)

Swedish assault gun SAV m/43 and the PBV301 APC based on the Pz 38 chassis

Italian tanks from World War two.

Why does it have to be Takom or RFM,plenty of other great manufacturers out there.

Dragon,except what I heard about Black Plague
Tamiya
Meng
Trumpeter

To name a few.

Exactly!
Tiger model
AFV Club
Bronco

Come on, People! This is not very difficult and it is not to pit one kit maker against another, or one time period against another.

What I started was very specific and centered on two manufacturers. I love Tamiya and some of the others that were mentioned here, but I only focused on two of them.

I was thinking since Takom and RFM had come out with such great kits, what kits could they also sell to kit builders.

It was that simple folks! Not complicated at all.

Any kit from any period was welcome on the list that I started, so try again.

Rant over!

I'd like a 1969 Type 2. Takom already released Type 3's. Or a Mark III Jetta Wolfsburg edition) to go with their German Civilian Car.

RFM could follow up their new Type 82e with a 1949 Hebmuller convertible.

Post WWII US stuff:
Self propelled howitzer- M-53 M-55
M-56 Scorpion
M-65 Atomic Cannon
Missiles-
LaCrosse, Honest John, Little John, Pershing , Corporal and transporter

Well,if you put it that way,I never built an RFM or Takom.So then nothing.I'm out

All for the Mack NO. Another vehicle I would like to see is civilian tank haulers. Looking through the forums, I see Israeli, Iraqi, and others have used these for their logistic moves of their heavy equipment. Just on the variety of possibilities for us modelers, from our needs for a place to put our Merkava’s, to the automodeller who wants to save space for his collection, I think they would sell. Also, Trumpeter sell some of their trailers as stand alones.

Takom doing some T-34's. Continue on with the M60's and branch over to the M48's.

RFM, make a T-34/85. They already have 90% of it! Oh, and more M4's.

I am hoping for a Matilda MK.I (pleeeease).
- A13 MK.III Covenanter.
- BL 5.5 Inch gun (Howitzer?).
- Fordson WOT2.
- Light tank M2 (predecessor of Stuart).
- Sherman DD.
- French FCM36 and the german conversions into Marder TD
and 10,5cm Howitzer.
- SdKfz251/18 observation vehicle (with map-table).
- Sdkfz260 / 261.
- Sdkfz 247 B.

All in 1/35 styrene of course

Sorry, that's a long list

DD Sherman or Sherman Crab....I can't understand why the mainstream companies haven't tackled these before in 1/35 injection molded - easily do-able these days with modern manufacturing techniques - as they would be 'bankers' ..!

Gary

Oooh I'd love these! How 'bout an 'Aunt Jemima' too?

I want a 16th. Scale Sherman with a complete Interior.
Donald

M4, M4a1, M4a2, M4a3, M4a4
all with interior and engines.
