I will have to go with,
- A styrene M777
- A Styrene M916 (Put the wrong truck here before)
- More modern US trailers
- More modern US Engineer vehicles
- M88A2
and one honorable mention - More variants from the FMTV family
I will have to go with,
I think we could really use a new modern Marder 1A2-A5. Meng or Rye Field.
Operation Telic Challenger II from Rye Field
Operation Telic Warrior from Meng
Don’t need all that late slate.
M48A3 (none Mod B), M67A2 and Israeli Magach 3 from Takom .
How about an M75 APC
M59 APC
BK-1125 and BK-1124 Gunboats
Vietnam Riverine Monitors
Various LVT and other Landing Craft
Early M48 small hatch
A better M60
HS-30
or, maybe a few new Tigers and Shermans.
Easy peasy:
M60, Takom maybe, or Tamiya.
M48, w/ Chrysler cupola, same as above.
IDF M50 on the -A4 hull, HVSS, a good one please. Asuka has most of the tooling done.
M26A1 Pershing (Tamiya, are you looking?)
IDF Mack and lowboy trailer, in plastic is all I ask.
All in 1/35 too.
Let’s limit the list to top 5.
Like I mentioned earlier in the thread. I would love to see:
M1064A3 120mm Mortar Carrier
M1068A3 SICPS with interior
M88A2 Hercules HRV
M992A3 CAT with interior
M1283 AMPV with interior
1/35 M992 has been on my wishlist for over a decade.
Those M109s are lonely.
A2 and A3 measurements and walk arounds may help us more than an incorrect scratch build.
Terence, the ACV will be plain vanilla. For now.
M8 to replace the tamiya one
Turrentless M5 recce
Panther Ausf.F mod.O, one that actually was produced.
Progetto 46, what if but would be nice to have a phisical model of my favorite tank in WOTB.
Skink
What baffles me about it is- they have 50% of the kit done with an M109 chassis/hull trail etc. They only need to mould the top rear cab/storage area. I know there have been enough scratchbuilds to get a baseline in scale. AFV club announced one several years ago but nothing since. A decent M577 with interior would also be welcome to go with the M109s
I usually find that the answer to your wish list is to start kit bashing or scratching your required model. A manufacturer will then, once you are knee deep in it, produce a vastly superior offering out of the blue, at which point you abandon your own pitiful offering and buy theirs! Don’t ask how I know…
All to be made in styrene by Tiger, Meng, RFM, Tamiya or Trumpeter please:
Challenger 3
Ajax
Jaguar IFV
Archer SPG
Krab SPG
Leopard 2A4SG
Bedford MJ lorry
Nissan Patrol 4x4
Ratel / Ratel 90 APC
modern day Land Rover Defender
Jobaria cradle MLRS
An Emirati Leclerc
A Saudi M1A2S
Done. Thanks.
Sorry dude. Can’t help with any of those.
By all rights there should be a plastic KRAB by now…
