Is this the Airborne Miniatures one?

@deerstalker36 No, the rollcage and front are different on the MRZR Alpha.
The 1/35 Airborne Miniatures is a plain MRZR 4-seater that Magic Factory made in 1/35 plastic.
Although they look very similar, the Alpha’s hood, front, pushbar, and headlight designs are different.
The MRZR Alpha has improvements over the MRZR.

Pretty dry looking to be standing in a lake…

Yes, even to this day, no one makes modern wetsuit figures anymore besides 1/35 DML and the long OOP Kirin 1/9 resin SEAL.
However, SEALs can’t go inland that long and far in a full wetsuit or else they’ll roast from their own body heat. SEALs will have to entirely take off their wetsuit, or at least peel the top down to the waist if they intend to patrol or infiltrate far inland.

I just saw a joke about The Joker having a wildly successful crime wave, because he did it in the daytime on hot sunny days, and Batman in his kevlar armored bodysuit would roast alive.

1/32 would be great to replace that monstrosity from Revell
would like to see an M-901 ITV and the Canadian M-113 TUA in 1/35 scale and a Korean war era M-46 Patton 1/35 scale Oh and some US or other countries Field kitchens and maybe some quartermaster troops cooks, bakers and supply. 1/35 scale and of course another Gunfighter F-8 crusader. 1/48

1/35 P-47 or Russian fighter.
I did a water infil into Denmark for REFORGER 1984. I was in the water for 4 1/2 hours. Even with the drysuit I almost felt like I was getting hypothermic. Water was seeping into the drysuit.
When I go to the coast i had to haul my rucksack up a 12 foot embankment. By the time I made it across the coast highway (about 50 meters to the treeline) I was nearly a heat casualty. Since I was alone there was no one to unzip my suit. I had to thread my rope through the loop in the zipper pull on my my back and tie the rope to a tree to unzip myself, By the time I was out of the suit I collapsed into a heap for bit. Best exercise ever!
My 2024 wishlist may come true before the end of this year.

We have 1/35 German locomotives, and a 1/35 USA 2-8-0 in the works. How about some Soviet steam?

Or a Mikado made to look like Strelnikov’s locomotive.
Leopard 1A3 & A5 by Ryefield Model’s (RFM) or Tamiya if 100% ALL new.
Meng’s Leopard 1 doesn’t count as new kit since the suspension & wheels look like they are from 1970’s.

Greg and Fred, I was hoping this thread to stay on the armor kits and not other topics like aircrafts…
1/35 would be my choice, simply to maintain “Scale Compatibility.”
Never noticed that until you just posted that. The thread title didn’t specify, and yes, I now see that the category underneath is there, albeit in a much lighter and smaller font. I barely see it on my computer, let alone my cell phone.
It does bring up a talking point though - would an armored locomotive, with armored vehicles to protect it, fall into armor and not necessarily AFV?
If Trumpeter announced one in the Railroad Modeling section, how many of us have our settings set up to receive that?

Whoops. Sorry. When I saw the helicopters, Top Gun drones and watercraft, etc., I thought it was asking for anything and to do with 1/35 “military scale,” or other scale military subjects. 18Bravo has a good point about armored trains.
