I’m hoping for a B-24D from Airfix, but I think a J more likely. I’m guessing Coastal Command markings. The recently released H suggests other versions and they would be foolish not to.

I am hoping for a 1/35 scale model of the tracked version of the Battleship Bismark, with a gate out the front to direct fire V2 rockets, complete with a diorama display base allowing it to be posed attacking Gibraltar from the land side.

I hope that RFM will release the M992A3 CAT, now that they’ve released the M109A7 SPH.

I also hope that the new M2 Bradley based APCs will be released by Magic Factory.

M777A2 in styrene would be nice - AFV Club should get on it.

I know that AFV Club tried years ago to release updated versions of the M106 mortar carrier and M577 Command Vehicle; they should to the updated versions - The M1064A3 and M1068A3 respectively.

As for WW2 armor, adding more versions of the Sd.Kfz. 250; like the /8 Schützenpanzerwagen.

The monitor was smaller in real life but I like working on larger boats so…

CSS Virginia was about 275 feet long. At 1/96 thats about 2.8 feet
USS Monitor was 171 feet long. At 1/72nd thats about 2.3 feet
