An accurate Chieftain Mk5 in 1/35th plastic.

An accurate Land Rover kit Series 1, 2, 3.

That will do me.

WWII Pacific subjects. Marine tank riders and crews. Japanese tank riders. US Army in the tropical uniform. As for poses, put some on patrol, or relaxing, sitting, cleaning equipment, eating, or in the middle of a fight. In plastic.

Assuming 1:35 scale: (And preferably plastic)

1960s to 1980s european civilans. Kids, Teens, Peaceniks/Protesters, police. One can improvise farmers and workers from existing kits but these are not there

Same time era: Civilian vehicles. Small ones (Scooters, Motorcycles, small cars) and other civilian stuff like shopping carts, modern wheelbarrows etc.

Small staff vehicles like the VW Iltis and "Kurierwagen" (Both also used/sold overseas and to civilians) or the Mungo. And a long wheelbased Mercedes G/Wolf

Cold War Landser, Squaddies, Poilus etc. There is a lack of European NATO soldiers from the era. There are quite a few cold war/early post cold war german kits (Marder, Leo 1, M109s, Luchs etc) out but no figures to crew them. Same for British (IIRC the only plastic kit is Dragons Op:Telic inspired set). Preferably units from the H&K G3 / FN-FAL era not G36 / SA80

If you plan bigger kits:

British vehicles in plastic. There are tons of cold war vehicles missing, some of them resonably small. The british equivalent to the M113 (FV430?), their armored cars (Ferret, Fox etc), most of the CVR(T)series (Two have been done by AFV-Club - maybe conversion kits?)

Oh, and a plastik kit of the Unimog 404 - used all over the world. If you do only one - I prefer the radio version so I can sink it in a cesspool up to the doors(1). Otherwise the basic (troop carrier) would be nice as well

(1) As a driver did during the 1988 "Golden Crown" exercise...

I would love to see Dagon, Masterbox, Miniart, Trumpeter produce their excellent 1/35 figure ranges in 1/72. All us Braille scale modellers are crying out for them to do this, they would make a killing and all it takes is to pantograph the originals down to the new scale.

All the best,

Paul
