I have no doubt that this will be a thread which will spiral out of control - perhaps it already has (no offence Joey!)

My wishes are quite simple:

M59 - I don't care if it's in resin or plastic (Commander Models please take note)

AMX 10P

It would be nice to have a Ferret and a Saracen in plastic but I already have them in resin so won't stress this too much. Ditto the YP408, HS 30 and M114 as the resin ones I have look a little daunting.

Some NATO missiles would be nice to complement the 1:35 Atomic cannon we now have in plastic such as Honest John, and Corporal; an M55 in injected too would also be nice.

Other than these, I'm relatively happy with my stash - huge though it is.

Since I limit myself to WWII German most all of the armor I need has already been produced; I could just use a few re-toolings of some of the older kits. When it comes to softskins and miscellaneous vehicles I wish to see some of the other variants of series like the SdKfz 251 that aren't in kit form, like the /8 ambulance. Refueling trucks to go along with the V-2 stuff already available.

But when it comes to 1/32 aircraft my wishes are more definite:
Devastator
D0 17Z
B-26
B-29
more Italian
more Japanese
more Russian
more anything not U.S. or German

Once more into the breach,,,(in 1/35 scale);

The M-8 HMC we've been promised for many moons;

I'll second Shell's call for retooled older kits. And if some company does a new series of 250/251's, please offer something other than those awful tiny indy-link tracks.

In figures, I'd like to see someone (maybe Miniart?) do various sets of US, German and even Japanese WWII mortars w/crews.

Just a couple things:

-1/35 new-tool Nebelwerfer (preferably by Tamiya)

-more MiniArt, Tamiya (their recent German infantry set is quite good), and Master Box figures (since it appears Dragon is no longer doing figures).

a GOOD and accurate M103 in 1/35
I would like to see some Panter G kits with Zimmerit molded on
some more 1/16 scale tankettes. I built the Takom panzer1 earlier this year and loved it.

Nothing too specific, but I would like to see more armored trains and railway subjects in 1/35 as well as more inter-war tanks and armored vehicles. There are still lots of interesting subjects out there that haven't even seen resin yet.

I would like to see more individual weapon sets in:

* 1/35
* 1/24
* 1/20
* 1/16

...scales.

Shapeways prints some guns, but they're usually cheap plastic and not very detailed, or they can be pretty expensive. Sometimes Shapeways is slow to print and deliver too.

The odd thing is that some vendors did print new 3D resin guns on their Facebook page months to years ago and have yet to sell anything.

Even changing the weapon on a figure can make all the difference in the world in making the figure unique to the builder and the viewer.
