I would like to see more individual weapon sets in:
* 1/35
* 1/24
* 1/20
* 1/16
...scales.
Shapeways prints some guns, but they're usually cheap plastic and not very detailed, or they can be pretty expensive. Sometimes Shapeways is slow to print and deliver too.
The odd thing is that some vendors did print new 3D resin guns on their Facebook page months to years ago and have yet to sell anything.
Even changing the weapon on a figure can make all the difference in the world in making the figure unique to the builder and the viewer.
I wish Shapeways had a better search engine. The one they use is awful.

I'm pretty new so don't have a long list. But when I was looking for interesting subjects for Soviet motorcyle battalions, I couldn't find an SU-57 which I gather was used somewhat frequently in those formations.

Agreed. I wish Shapeways would use better 3D printers because the best ones being used these days on ETSY and other sellers have absolutely NO PRINT LINES showing.
That said, I wish that better marketing is used these days for new releases. One literally has to go to the vendors' websites and Facebooks to order some of these new items and kits because online hobby stores don't stock them (maybe because they don't know about them). Basically, that means one has to research and stock their own hobby interests because the (online) stores don't due to overhead. It's like Easter Egg hunting for the proper colored eggs.

Now that's a kit I'd get. A couple manufacturers have made variants of the US halftracks so it wouldn't be a stretch to see a SU-57 one day either. Maybe AFV club will do it, they ran amok with their Churchill variants, maybe they'll do that again since they just came out with the M16

I'd love for Live Resin to do for modern Soviet/Russian arms and gear what they did for modern US/NATO stuff...
They've started with some of their modern Russian figures and some of the crew weapons, but there are a lot of options.

You already have two Crusader AA (mk 1 and II) in plastic but based on the old Italeri Hull, I second your list however but would suggest a large hatch Sherman II DD so that a US D-Day and a Commonwealth D-Day one could be done, the DD Gear can easily be transplanted to a III for later war ones by the modeller.No offence guys but never mind all this M and Ausf stuff, about time we had in 1/35th:-

I'd add to that
Ferret MK 1 and 2
Alvis Stalwart
FV 434 (Come on Takom, 3/4 the way already)
Cent ARV
Chieftain ARV
