1/35th scale armor/soft skin vehicles kits you would like to see released.
Posted by Gear Head 6 on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 8:06 PM

The 1942-45 Ford staff car would be a good subject for a 1/35th scale subject.  It has been kitted in 1/72 and 1/48th scale but no 1/35th scale versions.

For softskins, a more common vehicle that has not been seen in a plastic kit is the Vietnam-era M54 series of 5-ton trucks.  Also the later ('70s and '80s) M800 series 5-ton trucks.

For armor, how about a good M1 Abrams, M992 FAASV, M52 howitzer, M728 CEV, etc...

Most definatly. Accurate Armour has a 432 kit, but its resin and retails at over £90 or there abouts.

Funy you should say that. I do believe that those built in the first week of Oct 1943 have yet to be produced.

  Hear, hear!  There were a ton of them in the late Cold War.  Maybe the old Dodge pickups (M880) too.  And some more trailers - I'd love to see some modern generators.  And more HEMMT variants, like that big Marine Corps container carrier.

I think I may have said this before but there's still some fairly common Second World War French tanks and other AFVs that are only in resin and a lot of it that you can't even get at all.

As I'm only interested in Armor and Cobra helicopters at the moment:

- The A34 Comet (or re-issue by Bronco)

- T20-series American medium tank, specifically T23E3 and T23E4

- T-44

I would like to see Meng come out with a early M2A0 Bradley with the same level of detail as the M2A3 Tusk kits.

A good, accurate Merkava1, and even a -2 would be nice, either from Tamiya or Meng. I'd also like to see a good M60 slick, a modern M47, maybe an M48A- nothing, a proper HMMTT, and even a nice M3 Lee/Grant. Not much, I know......

A Terrapin!  What a goofy moon buggy-looking thing!  A resin kit exists, but I want plastic.

And a SA-4 "Ganef" tracked missile launcher.  Soviet Cold War era brutishness at its best.

With all the soft skin vehicles out there it would be great if Trumpeter, Bronco or some other company wouldcome out with a new tool 50s through 60s military Land Rover.  A short bed version would be great.  I wouldn't mind seeing a four door hard roof version with parts for a civilian version.

Here's my input for some soft skins that I would like to see made in 1/24 scale.

 A slat grill MB, Holden ambulance jeep used by the Marines, M-38, M-38-A-1, M170 jeep ambulance, M151- A1 and A2, M422 Mighty Mite and I almost forgot a Ford GPA.

 My list could go on for soft skin vehicle's. As long as it was used by the U.S. Army I would like to see it in 1/24 scale.
