Wish List of 2025 (armor kits)

Mine as well. Not really loss of motivation, just a little lower on the OML.

You have one of those as well? Mine has more unfinished than finished projects on it.

A New tooled Grant and Lee in 1/35 scale.
And a T-34/76 model 1941, preferably by Tamiya.

I understand that many modelers like subjects from the 2nd World War, but I think the market is saturated. For my part, I would like more modern subjects that have not yet been produced. There are a multitude of variants of the M 113 that are not available in styrene… I would like to have a Canadian M113 Tlav and the extended version with 6 wheels, the latest versions of the Stryker and the Lav 6.0, there are plenty of new armored vehicles that are not available. For my part, I am no longer able to see a 200th version of the Panzer.

An LCAC to bring ashore US Marine equipment would be nice. Not sure if 1/35 or 1/72 would be better.

Has anyone here built it?
I guess the real queston is, would a 40 cm x 77 cm model in 1/35 sell? That would be a pretty large beast. But at least there’d be more vehicles in that scale to put on it.

Does help with kit storage. You can add a number of kits inside to “save” space and be legit except it could only carry one M1 as I recall.

Did find this build in kitmaker.

That is indeed a great way to store models, as well as have something different to build. All of a sudden I want to see one in 1/35. Anyone else?

I would love to see a 1\35 styrene LCAC! Probably by Trumpeter - they’re good at large kits. Would probably be in the $200 - $250 range. But impressive!

It would be impressive.

I bought a very similar one a few years ago to convert, but I can’t even remember where it is at the moment. Never started it.

Is there any kit out there that the tracks can be bogarted from and made to fit? A millimeter or so difference in width would not bother me as long as the pitch is correct.

Dont forget though … you could only drool over it online due to your self imposed kit buying embargo :grin:
