M2 CLETRAC 1/35 or 1/32, I ainā€™t picky :slight_smile:

Ben Hur trailer 1/35

And I second the 1/35 Ward LaFrance wreckersā€¦

In injection molded styrene (Iā€™m aware of the resin offerings for the first two, but, noā€¦.)

And I like @Gary_Totty ā€™s suggestions for SeaBee equipment etcā€¦ love the esoteric construction equipmentā€¦

Stryker serie with all the armor pack in styrene

Not my era but have you checked out Hobby Link? 3D printed M123 ten ton tractor and matching trailer.

Wanamakerā€™s getting them in.

I havenā€™t seen anything in Hobby Link in stock on Wanamaker in a while, and I look several times a day.

Heā€™s added a bunch of new HL stuff, but itā€™s not in stock yet.

The word I got from the man himself was the shipment of HL stuff left Viet-Nam on 10/24 and itā€™s due this coming week.

Yes, thereā€™s been way more interest in HLā€™s stuff than they figured. I heard back from HLā€™s owner after Iā€™d suggested he do the M39 dump as a conversion. He seems to be planning on doing more M35 variants.

Also, with our own James Lee doing the M800 hood etc conversion, there are the M800-based versions of HLā€™s M54ā€™s to consider!

Exactly what I plan doing w/the HL M52 conversion and an RM M800 cab; M818 tractor.

Is the HL product not configured for the AFV kit? If so, wont the RM product be incorrectly sized for the HL conversion kit?

Either way, I can make it fit as needed, donā€™t worry.

Iā€™d love to see the South Korean K9 produced, along with the K21 (Redback) and a big bag of Unimogs, especially and RHD U-1700l :slight_smile:

A K9 would be awesome. Iā€™d love a Krab as well.

I must admit Iā€™d love to see a 1:35 T-92 - such an interesting vehicle - or at least to me. I recall theTamiya box art when they brought out a 1:50 version:

T92 (3)

How Iā€™d love to see that updated!

I probably should have said that Iā€™d like a K9 in styrene that wasnā€™t a clockwork conversion, but thanks for the link :slight_smile:

My wishlist:
MBT-70 (since Takom have already issued the VT it shouldnā€™t be too much of a stretch!)
Strv122 (Ryefield or Tamiya)
Strv103
K2NO (Black Panther Norwegian demo)
MPF
M1068

My wishes, all in 1/35 of course:

M50A1 ONTOS with interior, decent crew figures and ammo and an accurate ā€˜suspension stanceā€™. (Tamiya or RFM)

M151A1 Jeep, with the USMC TOW squad leaders modifications (radio/KY38 rack and spare missile racks). A decent aftermarket detail set would suffice.

M15 anti-aircraft halftrack (combination gun motor carriage).

An M4 Sherman DD tank, with parts and markings for either US or British. (Tamiya or RFM).

Thatā€™s all I can think of right now.

I kinda figure Academy measured the T165 parked about 30 minutes south of me. Their kit is pretty much that same hull with the one big exception being with the gun tubes. Their stance is correct for the T165, as I measured it twice. You just donā€™t see many M50ā€™s sitting around waiting to be measured up. I do agree that this would be a good one for Takom or RFM.
gary

For me it would be great if maybe TAKOM makes the Challenger 1. Furthermore the Leopard 1 AVLB BIBER in 1:35- And last but not least the later Unimogs of the Bundeswehr.
