I saw this posted over on ML, I figure it can't hurt to fill it out. Maybe something will get asked for enough times and they will actually think about producing one (I can dream can't I ).

I completed one this morning. Like you said, it doesn't hurt to fill out a survey when they're asking for input...

I did also .
asked for get this an accurate Lee in 1/35 scale.

Nice to see Jim is still kicking around.

Have to agree they made a few killer kits in the last few years.

Hetzer,Marder,Pershing.
To bad they did not go and do a really good Sherman,before Tasca.

I did this as well. I've always loved Tamiya despite the flaws that they have. I hope they are taking a real hard look at their model line and will become competitive again.

Maybe will have to go in incognito and put more requests in for the Lee and Grant.

Stuffing the Ballot box

To bad as they have done some great models in the last 7 or so years.

Marder, Pershing ,T-55, Hetzer.

To bad they did not do a good Sherman before Tasca.

Nobody else does a T-55 do they?

New one not Skiff or the like.

I asked for them to do a 1/48 F-14 Tomcat,they do so many other planes in that scale I wonder why they never downsized their 1/32 F-14

The 12 tonne tractor, any of the Sdkfz's from the Kettenkraftrad to the Sdfkfz 11 3tonne half track would also be nice. Mr Tamiya please listen. A nice Drehkran Kfz 100 crane would be great too
