How about a new tool Centurion Mk 5 with 105 mm gun? It will be even better if it is the Israeli Sho't version with reactive amour.

My vote would go for a new Chieftain and a new T-62. I'd also like to see a Centurion in plastic as well.

M-24 Chaffee would be nice.
The Italeri kit's not bad, but you know...

Yes, WWI armor is sadly overlooked. And some in between war armor should be given thought too.

How about the MCLIC? That's a Mechanized Line Charge Mine Clearing System incase you don't know. Normally pulled by tanks or amtraks. Check it out : http://www.hqmc.usmc.mil/factfile.nsf/7e931335d515626a8525628100676e0c/6b234caa30de31c18525627a004df31a?OpenDocument

www.usmc.mil -> equipment file -> mine equipment -> line charge

I've blown up about 13 of things; they're AWESOME!!!

Check out the Trumpeter Challenger II!
But a Tamiya Challenger II would be nice, too, eh?

AFV club has an excellent M88 recovery vehicle. IMHO it's one of the best kits ever produced by any company. I want to cast another vote for any French or Italian WW2 armor.

How about an AVLB? Nobody has one of those out there. I've heard of some expensive conversion kits. Hey this puppy is being used in the present war and has been around for 30 years. Nobody else makes it either which would make it truely unique and not some minor variation of an already overdone vehicle.

How about an old Ontos in 1/35 scale OR how about a line of helicopter in 1/72,1/48,or 1/35
And a comment to jmorgan_11. I operated the line charge, mine clearing system when it was
mounted aboard my AAVP7A1. I was in MCM Plt. That is at Camp Del Mar aboard Camp Pendleton
in California. And it is a BLAST!!!!!!!!

I agree Japanese armor would be really nice. I have pictures of rusty demolished Japanese armor when I was at Okinawa. If anyone would like to see them let me know.amtracdaddy1@yahoo.com

That'd be great, but Fine Molds is cranking out some great kits, and Tamiya might not want to tangle with 'em!
