As we are nearly half way through 2011, with quite a lot of new kits either released or in the pipe line. I was wondering what new kits would you want to see released? My top five would be the following:
1.1/35th scale FV 432 in plastic
2.1/48th scale RAF Jaguar
3.1/48th scale Buccaneer
4.1/35th scale M113(series)
5.1/35th scale Mastiff2
ok so those are mine, what are yours?

Ah, wish list time... 
To be honest, there have been so many great new releases I'm a bit overwhelmed... Two big must haves in my mind though:
A new M113 family and a new M24 Chaffe, make that the whole family while we're at it...
And I would also like to see some pre WWII US tanks, but this is pure fantasy...
Cheers!

Stefan is right. Pure fantasy, but I too would like to see some WW I tanks and the figures to go with them. A Chaffee tank would be cool too. More civilian figures and more seated troops of all armies.

How about one of the early non-standard jeeps produced by Bantam car company, before the army created the one model standard and handed production over to willy's.. in 1/35 of course..

Top of the wishlist is a larger bank account 
A modern tooling of a MiG 25 Foxbat in 1/48
I would love to see Miniart expand their line to cover some WWII pacific theater stuff in 1/35.
Someone to do a line of WWII Japanese armor that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I'd like an IS-1 or T-54. More generally, I'd like to see more interior details as Tristar and Dragon did with their Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) kits.

Open up the hobby to WW I stuff. Tanks , artillery, figures , horse drawn stuff, you name it. It would open a whole new era to model in. 35 th scale please.

Wishlist?
Well to be honest I don't complain.
New releases are quite interesting especially the Trumpeter ones
But anyway, as usual, I hope in a new T-72 family
More of them
I think that it would be very nice If Tamiya produced some military engineering vehicles based on the T-55 hull (I know...It's almost impossible but anyway...I hope)
Regarding russian ww2 staff cars, I don't know why Tamiya doesn't sale any more the Gaz-67 in 35 scale. I hope in a kit reissue or in a new tool
And of course,me too, after the Miniarm kit, I hope in a complete Bantam series
cheers

More MONEY, more TIME would be really nice. There are tons of new and way-cool things out now, and I'll never even get to most of these, I'm afraid!
But wishing.... WWI armor and transport, early WWII Italian, French, UK, Japanese armor.
I'd love to have a new state-of-art kit of a Horch 1A or Krupp Protze, with interior and motor, please!
All in 1/35, of course!

This might be pure fantasy as well;
M911 Het and Talbert Trailer in Plastic (Trumpeter you reading this??)
Scammell Commander in Plastic
IDF Tank Transporter Trailer in plastic and the Mack Gopher
A new M1A1 Desert Storm style would be nice
A new m109 IDF specific
again these might be fantasy, but we DID see the Dragon Wagon in plastic not too long ago and recently we have also see the Faun and soon the M1070. There is always hope.
OH! and maybe that bad A$$ Belgian Unimog SF gun truck too. . . .

Here's mine,
* Some decent 1/48 airfield accessories (the more obscures the better), ranging from WW1 to WW2, for all contenders air forces (ambitious ain't I??)
* Tamiya, could U do us a favor a launch a Dornier 17/215 family in the quarter scale ?? Not much to it, some details like those made in the 1/32 Spit, would do
* What about the Sterling bomber ?? the Hampden?? no plans there for a 1/48 edition with enough detail and good budget price??
* Going about bombers, what about some lesser known Japs, hein Hasegawa !? Not forgetting a 21st century mould for the fantastic B-26!
Just wishful thinking, not enough lifespan to build all these
Cheers

Well... this IS a wishlist, and we're all dreamers... but that's reaching!
I don't think anyone would know what to do with an HONEST politician, if one were somehow to appear! Please keep breathing while you wait!
Now that I have tried out that old Esci 2cm Flak 30 kit... why no modern kit of that common piece? Maybe Dragon, now they have done the Sd.Kfz. 10/... with the Flak 38? The earlier versions had the Flak 30. WISH!

@Mike R.;
HONEST politician(s) on MY wishlist? Nah. I got OVER that one a long long time ago!
A modern 2cm Flak 30 in 1/35? You BET! That would make at least one slice of my day!
@MAURO;
Even 1/4 scale would be GRAND.... IF it EVER were to happen, we'd be mighty lucky to get something in 1/244 or so! Whatever you do, don't drop it into the carpet!
