Vehicles / Trailers?
Gear?
Weapons?
Stowage?

Thanks for you're time!!!

a new tooled 1/35 plastic cheiftan would be top of my list,

some falklands figures in plastic.

1/35 plastic kits ;

Alvis Stalwart
FV430 APC series
CVRt series (samson, spartan etc)
Combat Engineering Tractor

Foden 6/6 recovery and gun tractors

Matt,
M1008 and M1009 CUCV'c and Blazers. That is what I started out driving when I entered the service. Lets see, what else. AH, M109 Vans. I guess you can say any support vehicle you would find in a support battalion or Foward Support Battalion. Oh, here is another one, well a conversion at least. The Smoke generators for the M113. I;m not sure what is the nomenclature, but its the M113 that has the two large boxes on the top back that generate a smoke screen. Yet another one, the ammo carrier version of the M109 Paladin. A cheaper version of the Patriot system, not that expensive resin one (Trumpeter are you listening.) A PLS HEMTT. I can go on and on, and on.

Nice to see a man with taste

Pretty much everything and anything. A truly modern set of M16s and M4s, more new gun kits (G-36s, etc.), more figure kits in all scales with the modern equipment (Interceptors, Camelbaks, etc.), more armor in 72nd scale, more kits of obscure subjects (SEAL and Ranger FAVs for example), more civilian vehicles, more retools of "old but faithful" kits (Tammy AAVP7 comes to mind), and more conversions for stuff that you see on fas.org and think "I never knew that existed" just to name a few.
Kyle

They could be smaller kits in resin too!!!



Hint Hint

Your absolutly right Marcel. Since where are talking Bradley's, why not a conversion set to make an A3 version of the Bradley.

M-54 five ton trucks and wheels and tires for dame. Vietnam era trailers of all types. M-37 3/4 ton trucks.

What about a M76 Otter? Or an engine for the Pibber patrol boat? But I'm also very happy with a m113 bridgelayer!!
If I'm not mistaken Skybow promised us a M37 3/4 truck, where did this (idea) go?

Mark

I would like some tyres for jeeps and other soft skin vehicles.

Skybow was bought by AFV Club!!!!!!

Just a Bump.... Any other (even smaller items) Crates.... Containers Buildings Etc....

I would also like some more m113 variants..the 727 hawk launcher comes to mind along with the lance launcher and transporter...bridge layer...radar conversions for our nato brothers like the archer....also more soft side variants...pls equipment and transporters...a 1/35 patroit system...more variants based on the bradly fv chassis ...would also like to see some 1/35 navy deck equipment..would make some fantastic deck dios..with the cobras....would like to see more missile equipment and missiles like the pershing II....also some airforce support equipment for dios...and for our helo builders...how about a chocktaw and ch47 chinook.....well thats my 2 cents...have many more requests....how bout it manufactor...lets get to developing some kits......ww2 is just tooo overdone already....lets get to the new stuff

thanks Ray

UPDATE SETS: To update older kits to make newer versions.

An update set to the old Tamiya M551 Sheridan. I know Jaguar does a resin one and offers the track set separately, but a conversion set to update the Vietnam era Sheridan into the version used in Panama and to the TTS version used in Desert Storm.

Also the Combat Identification Panels (CIP). I know that Tamiya includes a set in their new modern equipment set and Eduard does a PE set, but they are rather pricey and only contain enough for one vehicle.

How about a set by Tamiya that includes multiple CIPs, enough for a number of vehicles like the HMMWV, Abrams, Bradley (got those funky shaped ones on the storage boxes), etc. A two sprue set that includes nothing but CIPs.

OEF M1A1HA/M1A2 update set. This set would contain the necessary fittings to upgrade any of the current M1A1s or M1A2s models into variants used during OEF. For the USMC variant: CIPs, APUs, MCDs, M259 smoke grenade launchers. For the US Army: CIPs, APUs, SEP fittings (A2), etc. And for both, the various turret bustle rack extensions and rear grill RPG shields.

I would like the M-54 truck (done by someone like Academy) who would then do endless variations on the same theme.

A Centurion (same comments as above)

Affordable modern Land Rovers. The AA ones are beautiful but a little outside my price range...

The vehicles that Panda have been promising us ...That would be a brilliant start...

Oh yes a U.S. Hovercraft in plastic in 1/35th scale...

That's it really....Jim

APC's All sorts. V100, V150, V200, V300, V600. Ambulances. Land Rovers recon vehicles. The Samaritan. So far.

Passive Armor upgrade seen on the bradleys in Iraq

a Stryker of Course

New tool Cent...plus all the IDF flavors

M4 Carbines would be nice and more modern US Figure sets

Id Like to see More Weapon Sets And Figure Parts.

Ive been Searching Sites I buy from for Modern Head Sets and I cant find any good ones so Id like to see those too!

Id Also Like to see Some Modern Troops from Other Countries Like more IDF And British and Maybe Some Iraqi Figures.


And Maybe even a set of Weapon Attachments

More Jeeps, softskins, ambulances and stuff like that

Costas

would like to see resin or injected 1/72 c-141 starlifter

I would be happy just to see a plain old M1. Not an A1 or A2. Just a good old 105mm main gun Abrams. In 1/35 scale. I would be pleased with the old Tamiya kit coming back.
