I know that some suppliers and producers (CaptainJack for example ) are reading this forums with great care. Then it's the best places to explain what we need and wish to find on the market regarding accessories, figurines and resin parts.

So, here are my wishes :
Resin Accessories
Destroyed wheels.
Personal equipments of crews (money holders, games, sleepings)
Foods (eggs, bottles)
Vehicle crews (drivers and conveyors)
Animals (birds, cats playing with a mouse, rabbits )
Figurines:
Female israeli tank instructors
Civilians all periods and areas (ambulance crews all periods, policemen, shop owner)
Universal mecanics (standard working suits)

And you what's your wishes?

I'd like to see:

1. steel roadwheels for an M60 series tank to replace the Tamiya and Esci kit's aluminum wheels.

2. cupola interior detailing sets for vehicles like the M48/M60/M60A1/A3 (or for other common vehicles that you like to see with just the TC's hatch open).

3. a Bradley turret interior. It's so small that this wouldn't even be a big set.

I agree with Rob's choices, but would really like to see a decent 1/35th scale, water buffalo. As well as some Vietnamese civilians, villagers, inc. children. And some decent NVA and VC

I'd love to see a ammo set for .50,.30 and 20mm in plastic where most of the set isn't peices to make floor covering in a truck.

IDF personal weapons set to include Woodstock uzis, folding stock Uzis,Mags, .30 cal mgs,Heavy barrel fn FALs( those with wooden foregrips)a Besa machine gun and tripod.Gill atgw. Not test weapons. Maybe even include some IDF packs Like thos for LAWs. AT rockets Rpgs. I for one would drop some good money for a well thought out set. These weapons are used around the world.

How about a decent Staghound, or some nice plastic figures for countries like France ww2, Italyww2 And dont try foolin us with reboxed old stuff on email alerts everyone.

Sabot, Cupola interior are fairly easy. I scratch built interior for M60A1, only problem the camera I have won't focus well enough to take a good picture. Now the TC compartment on the M1A2 will be a different story

Sabot,

I want to apoligize as my comment about scratch building a cupola interior may have sounded a little snide. It wasn't meant to be.

I have seriously considered making a conversion kit for just that purpose, as an M60A1/A3 cupola interior may be within my capabilities.

I would like to see a good replica of the M85 .50 cal that is mounted in the M60-series cupolas.

I think that there is a lot out there. The problem is getting your hands on the stuff. Some of the more rare items can take months to receive after ordering them. This is just my own experience, of course.
Having said that, I would like to see more WWII Italian kits, figures, and accessories. Their availability is improving with companies like Model Victoria, but the big guys, like Verlinden, have very little.

A LOT of hand grenades, becasue the ones you get only come 4-5 in a pack

More Vietnam figures

M54 5ton truck( would be great for a M113 in the back, or turn in into Maverick)

Lots of shell casings

- A good set of modern mechanics with tools would be real great.
- Tool boxes.
- Spare parts like powerplants and gearboxes from Humvees and other trucks.

To be short, everything to build a dio on working on truck and tracks.



Ditto - me too! I'd like some resin weapons - all eras - if I had my wish...

I would also like to see some infantry weapon that can be assembled, nothing fancy, just the rifle or maching that has individual parts, maybe just the stock, and the barrel, should be nice for a weapon cleaning Dio.

And also like to see some 1/35 nice pistols, especially Mauser C96, don't recall ever saw one of this.
