how about paying attention to civilian light aircraft (non era specific) in 1/48 and civil turboprop and short haul jet airliners in 1/72?

I'd like to see a complete line of updated, RETOOLED, and completely accurate U.S. WWII halftracks - all variants. If I can only have one, how about just an excellent M3. I'll use that base to make all of the variants.

Would love to see Tamyia release a new tool 1/48 P-80, then the entire Century series starting with the F-100. While they are at it, modern, quality kits of the F9F Panther/Cougar would be nice and top it off with a nice F11F Tiger. Well, I can dream can't I ?

for those who know me this is repeating myself. i would love to see early ww2 a/c. detailed, accurate, with marking from pearl, wake, midway, etc. they would include b17c/d/e, f4f-3, p40b, b18, that type of stuff. but then again i am repeating myself.

I'd like to see a 1/48 scale Grumman F8F Bearcat in 1945 markings (I believe a few units were supplied with Bearcats before the war ended, but they never got a chance to use them in combat).

I'd really love to see some decent transports and trainers. 1/72 prefered but I'll take 1/48. And a big ditto on the General Aviation stuff too. Love to see a decent Cessna 172 or for a classic how about a decent 195? The surface has barely been scratched for any of these three topics.

I would like to see a model of the Regulus One surface to surface guided missile (the US Navy's first cruise missile). There was a 1/72 scale model by Strombecker in 1958 that was a combination of wood and plastic and a French company did a resin one in 1/72 scale. So, please, one in 1/32 scale.

1/35 British armor such as the Valentine or Crusader. Wouldn't mind more Russian armor such as the BT-7 or a new KV-1 with indy tracks.

I'd like to see more civilian general aviation planes - Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft etc......plus some Ultralights (like the Jabiru for example) as well as any one of those freaky planes that Burt Rutan creates - he's a bloody genius.

I'd like to see more vintage and classic cars, more pre-1960's racing cars. Having built some of their Formula I kits, and enjoyed them immensely, I'd love to see Tamiya apply their talents to something like an Auto-Union, or Mercedes W163.
As far as vintage cars are concerned, Rolls-Royce's Silver Ghost was the the model that really established the reputation of the company, and were used by the British as armoured cars in WWI, so there's potential appeal for the military modellers as well. However, if I had to nail it down to one model I'd like to see Tamiya, or for that matter, anyone, release, it would have to be this:
[img=left] http://www.n-connect.net/benetton/cars/car-2000-06.JPG [/img=left]
A 1935 Auburn Speedster. At least two companies that I know of have felt there was enough demand to offer full sized replicas, and you've probably seen them in just about every film set in the 1930's, yet the only plastic kit I've seen anyone offer is the wretched Pyro/Lindberg offering.
