How about a non resin Diamond T Wrecker...injection!!! I know the question was for anything not already reproduced but, who can really afford those resin kits?
M22 Locust would be nice too.

I'm going to agree with Kenselot and say a Diamond T wrecker and a diamond T tank transporter, as well as a Scammell Pioneer and Scammell tank transporter.

How about an injection molded 1/35th scale bulldozer, like the one’s the Seabees used in WW2? They were everywhere, making airfields, clearing log bunkers, etc. Hundreds of cool diorama possibilities.


My $.02

Along with the Brit WW1 tanks in 1/35, I'd also like the AV7... and the bulldozer would be good, too

I've got two separate dioramas planned that are based on moments from the Indiana Jones movies.
One dio will take place with Indy fighting nazis on the truck from 'Raiders'. I'll have all the details there, the ark, torn tarp, bent hood ornament. Only one question; will Indy be hanging off the front grille, or will I have him being dragged behind the truck? :-)
I'll have to cross this model with this one, as there is no kit of the truck used in 'Raiders'
In the other one, I'll have Indy in a fistfight on top of the Mark IV tank... 'Nuff said.

The ultimate kit---a 1/35 scale Duplex Drive Sherman (here's the catch) #:-) #:-) that does not cost two arms and a leg to purchase, that has comprehensible instructions, and that possesses some of the fine characteristics of a typical Tamiya kit....

1/35 Simba - APC used by Philippine Armed Forces (note: I'm not aware of any such kit in the market. If there is, please point me to it.

Or the monstrous Caterpillar D-9 (?) armored bulldozer the IDF uses. Now that's a wonderful piece of machinery!

Oh, you mean the fying wing? Took me a minute to realize which one you were taking about. The Geramn flying wing. (at bottom of page)
That one would be a toughie. The plane, to my knowledge, was made just for the production of the movie. It was not an airworthy vehicle. It could be a challenging scratchbuild someday... :-)

There's so much in resin that a budget can't handle.There are those lovely staff & civilian cars that are too expensive for a guy trying to save for his kids university education.I'm building the S-model Staghound Mk.II but would love one in plastic and bulldozers,armored or not would be a treat .JOCK
