I recall seeing a large scale resin M1A1 on eBay, very rare kit. I would like to see these done in affordable (non-R/C) mode. I have the large scale Tamiya Hummer, basically a HMMWV body on an R/C dunebuggy chassis. The wheels are correct for a Hummer though. I bet Tamiya could take the body and reverse engineer an interior and accurate chassis for it. Strip out its R/C stuff and make it a static model with detailed under carriage and engine. It would be cool.

Even Though this is not an Armor subject, I think it would be great to see a 1/24 scale
Airfix, Or Tamiya series , Disney Movie Nautlis Submarine. I for one would buy it !! Has anyone seen one of them yet ?? in any scale ??

I'd have too agree with lightining don on wanting those halftracks,but i'd want the infantry and quad .50 version. And more allied figures,there's enough german subjects out there.
And matbe a British churchill.

No doubt here. Any US softskin would be great, to begin with the M54. But a 1/16 HEMTT would be cute too, woulnd't it ?

Well, a Cromwell would be nice, a Willys would be nice as well. And then of course any Swedish tank of soft skin would also be welcome...
