Sorry Glenn I just reread my message and realised I muffed up.
Instead of “You noted you’re into air and armour, but any specific era or just in general?” it should have been “You noted you’re into artillery, not air or armour, but any specific era or just in general?”
Apologies! I’m blaming a combination of editing on an iPhone and a solid dose of Chemotherapy brain!
I have a suggestion though for your continuing in the artillery vein but also varying a bit. What about trying some artillery support vehicles? You’d know from your personal experience the range of vehicles required to get arty to go Boom! Maybe consider a Gamagoat delivering supplies as a nice starter?

Glenn,
As an old artillery officer, I’ve been working through the US artillery from 1900 to present. There is a surprising number of 1:35 US artillery kits out there if you don’t mind a bit of cast and 3D printed resin.

I’ve been working my way through the list. I’ve still got a lot of arty in the stash to build. The Commander Models kits can be challenging. Some are good, others are a lot of work. The Vargas kits aren’t bad. You need to gather up walkaround photos to flesh out the minimalist instructions. In addition, there are several easy conversions like the M43. I also try to influence the kit manufactures to do the stuff that interests me. I was able to convince Vargas to undertake the M777 and the M119.
I haven’t tackled any full scratch builds yet; but that day is coming if I can’t convince a 3D company to do the US 4.7-inch gun.
Enjoy!

Depending on how specific you want to get with US - Army only vs adding USMC to the list, it appeared the LVTH-6 was missing.
You can go all plastic with
https://www.scalemates.com/kits/afv-club-af35141-lvth6a1-fire-support-vehicle--1135675
or get the AFV Club LVTP-5 and Masterpiece Models resin turret.

That’s an impressive list of arty pieces, looks very comprehensive. I see you didn’t include the M106 4.2" 107mm Mortar Carrier and the M125 81mm Mortar Carrier, also the M1064 Mortar Carrier and the M21 Halftrack w/81mm mortar carrier of WWII use. How about Air defense artillery, The M42 twin Bofors and it’s predecessor the M19 SPG and don’t forget the AC130 Spector with Bofors and 105 howitzer.

Fantastic list which I’m gonna save. I have never worked with resin before but will get my first taste of it with these M60 door guns HeavyArty suggested back on what appears to be a now defunct forum. Will see if I have the patience and skill to attempt the microscopic PE parts they included. Love how you also added the era in this list.
