A armor wish list
Posted by diggeraone on Saturday, February 28, 2004 6:22 PM
What is it that you would like a model company to bring out and into production.
As for me I would like to see Tamiya bring out these kits;M-24 Chaffee,German tank recovery veichle and the Muase.DiggerSmile [:)]Cowboy [C):-)]Smile [:)]

I'd like to see kits of really obscure panzer variants, or even allied "funnies". That, or readily available conversions!

I'm still waiting for Tamiya to build some British armor: a Valentine and a Crusader. More Russian as well, say a BT-7.

A good DD (Dual-Drive) Sherman in 1/35th, with the option of the wading skirt up or down. A Valentine Bridgelayer. A Matilda with Heavy Carrot device. A Sherman Crab II.
Just to name a few.

Some WW1 armor, a new T-62, a new M60A2 and a T-90 are on my wish list.
Erik "Don't fruit the beer." Newest model buys: More than I care to think about. It's time for a support group.

I am still hoping for an updated T-62 from Tamiya. I was going to buy one and make it an Iraqi tank during Operation Iraqi Freedom but I heard there was so many things wrong with it (little things) I just didn't want to touch it.

I'd like Tamiya to make a Challenger2, a Merkava3?(the new version),a T-90, and a new Stuart and Lee.( I think that its just a matter of time before these roll off including fixed versions of their innaccurate kits)

Your wish about a Tamiya Chally 2 may come true, Beans. Model Graphix recently ran an article saying that might be Tamiya's next 1/35 kit.
As for the Merk III and Stuart, Academy offer fine kits now of both those vehicles (AFV Club makes a nifty Stuart, too). I believe Academy will also release a Lee and Grant later this year.

Now, a T-90 would be nice...

I'd like to see the Centrioun updated so that it has the deck used by Israel in 1982 and reactive armour.

a tamiya armor with dry transfer decals, photoetched parts, metal tracks and tamiya paints included! that would be a blast! LOL

i think tamiya has a new factory here in the philippines, i was surprised to see a kit a week ago with a "Made in the Philippines" on the box. maybe they could produce some armor kits that were used here in our country with decals example philippine flags or markings.

I would like to see more detail and variant kits and at a resonable price. I found a detail kit for my Hanomag 251/9 from AFV [i believe] for 2 and 1/2 times the price i paid for the whole 251/9 kitAngry [:(!]

Well seeing as how the wishes of the 1/35th scale crowd is well represented here, I think I shall speak up for the Braille Scalers. Wink [;)] The top Armor models that I in particular want to see in 1/72 scale are:

M-26 Pershing
T-72 tank with decal and parts options for Middle East Armor.
M-109 Paladin S.P. Gun
Russian T-90
More modern French and Italian Armor such as APC's, and Scout vehicles.
Mobile AA systems from all countries.
HEMTT trucks, all variants.
MLRS from US and Germany.
Dragon Wagons

I think that covers it quite well so far. I think there is enough good representation of WWII German Armor to keep us busy for awhile, but the kits I just listed are the most neglected subjects in the Industry. Disapprove [V]

That's my My 2 cents [2c]

I'd LOVE to see a Russian t-90, the Dora in 1/35 would be spectacular, as well as a Conqueror. I know AA makes one in resin, but I want injection moulded plastic. Some recovery and transport vehicles would be nice.
