It became so silent around the AFV Club M728. Hope it doesn´t go the same way as the M8 Mortar.

I think that might be the next post war subject that Miniart gets into next year, if they finish up the T-55 family
Personally I'm waiting for the following:
New Tool M3/M3A1 (a M2A4 would be nice too!)
New Tool M18 Hellcat
New Tool M551
New Tool M2A2 Bradley-Surprised the companies doing A3's haven't back dated
New Tool R35
New Tool H35/39-even though I have the 3d Printed one

I would love to see Tamiya do a M18 Hellcat. Their M10 was a great kit to build and the figures are nice too. I like how they have been putting "action" figures with their latest releases.

M5/M9 half-tracks. They've never been done, as far as I know. And if you're a Brit WW2 modeller, they are fairly essential, let alone iconic.

As an expat I would love to see some SANDF vehicles. And yes, I know we got the Takom G6 but I am greedy.
Olifant MK1A/1B (AFV Club could do this so easily)
Rooikat
Ratel (the whole family)
Buffel
Casspir
Olifant is announced by Hobby Boss in their 2018/2019 catalog (Kit #83897), and Rooikat IFV is already available from Trumpeter (#09516). So there should be hope for you, that the other items on your wish list might follow one day...

WAIT...WHAT!!!!!!!!! How did I not know this?
Only gripe is I cant seem to find a local store that carries the Rooikat. Means I will have to order online which means waiting.

Just how bad are the Trumpeter versions then? I thought we'd come on leaps and bounds from the Tamiya model?

There are "some" angles off and there is some trouble with the roadwheel spacing. There were two extensive threads on ML when the first kit came out.

- and the fender fuel cells are wrong. I'd vote for a new T-62 too.

Glad the Berg-ists got their most wanted kit. Even though it's not on my want list, it does show that there is hope.
I want MiniArt to do the M3 Honey with interior from Brazen Chariots! Still one of the best books on Africa.

Ditto, with new "action" figures, not the ones already supplied with the M-10. We also need new tooled M3 & M3A1 Stuarts.
Take care,

Another vote for a Ram 1 or 2 here, and any AC Sentinel variants (AC1, AC3, and a what-if ACIV preferably!)
Also, Purely personal wants, but I'd LOVE to see an M8 AGS, Stingray 1 and 2, and an XM800T ARSV in plastic someday!
(I should probably just learn how to scratchbuild)
