I would like to see,and or find the
1. MTLB
2.entire btr series
50,50pk,60,70,80,and the rc 
I'm positive that Skif (or ICM?) does the MTLB, as far as BTRs, I know that DML does a nice BTR-70 and BTR-80 and there is the Glencoe re-box of the ancient Ringo/ITC BTR-50 in 1/32 (bad kit but usually runs less than $10).

Skif make a MT-LB, see
this review. Quoted Text

Skif also make a
BTR-152. Glencoe Models offers the BTR-50, which is rather poor. Apparently AER announced the BTR-50, but I don't know if that actually came about. Torophy Models offers the BTR-60, but I don't know anything about that.
DML make a
BTR-70, which does have
some problems. They also offer the BTR-80, which has
similar problems. The BTR-70 M-1986 Afghanistan Model is BTR-70 with BTR-80 turret and AGS-17 grenade launcher.
Italeri offers the DML BTR-80 also.

Oki, then, here comes my list:
1. Stridsfordon 90, altt versions.
2. PBV-401 (MT-LB) Know SKif makes one, but I would like Tamiya quality.
3. PBV-302
4. PBV-501 (BMP)
5. Strv 122 (Leopard A5). Like to build the Swedish version straigh out of the box.
6. IKV 91
7. The varoius versions of the swedish terrain vehicle.

Which BMP? DML makes a BMP-1 and BMP-2, as does ESCI. The later is apparently...interesting. Finally, Skif (again) make a BMP-3.

As far as The BTR -60 goes Panzershop currently sells one. It was also made in the past by velinden and AEF.
Armo makes beutiful BTR 50 and OT-62 topas, The also make the similarly hull PT-76
You can see the BTR-60 on my website

As far as I know the Swedish army uses the BMP-3, but I'm not 100% sure....

DJ, Accurate Armour made a staghound and I've built most of it. It's one of their earlier kits and a bit rough around the edges it's also OOP. You might be able to find one around though or special order it through AA. I didn't like it as much for the roughness of the casting and the use of white metal for springs and axles( I just don't like White Metal).

I'd like to see anything that begins with "LAV"
like:
LAV III
LAV Coyote
ASLAV (ok so it doesn't begin with LAV but you get the point)
LAV Stryker
Oh, and I'd like to see an M113 ADATS, but I'll be dead before I see that.

Tamiya makes a VERY nice set of Russian infantry (12 in the box!). Although it is plasitc, it is still very sharply molded and wonderul positions! Sells for around $15 - $18, and worth it too!

I'm sure someone has said it all earlier but my top 5 have to be:
1. M2/M3 US halftrack
2. British Centurion
3. French Char B1
4. British AEC Matador
5. Re-release of the M4A1 by DML
Some are available in resin but I prefer the plastic.

Would also like to see more JAPANESE NAVEL and INFANTRY figures in 1:35... there is only one box from Tamiya i know of, and a few resin pieces.... would really like to see about two dozen so I could pick and chose!
Fine Molds has a decent selection of IJA and IJN figures. They are very nice and can be had for about the same price that you would pay for a box of DML figures. Check out HobbyLink Japan
http://www.hlj.com/ for a full listing of their figures.

In 1/35? Several. Honest John, M40 GMC (I know its coming), GMC variants between the M40 and the M109, A decent M60A2, A decent M551 Sheridan, Van bodies for the Duce & a half and 5 Tons and a Nam era 5ton, AVLB for the M48, M114/A1 and a 1/35 M56 Scorpian. The M56 may fall into the M40 to M109 listed above.

I'd like to see a French Char B1, a British Vickers Light Tank (maybe somebody makes this?), and some Italian tankettes. The last one would be interesting, because there were so many varieties that shared most of the main features, so there could be many possibilities for modeling.
