To be honest, I wouldn't care if there were no more Tigers released for the next 5 years. There are currently over 7 Tiger I kits in 1/35 scale available on the market and that seems like quite enough for even the most die-hard Tiger fanatic.
The list of subjects NOT available in 1/35 is extremely long and tops on my list are accurate M2 and M3 US Halftracks as well as all their varients. There are also a gazillion US guns that have not been produced, numerous allied tanks - such as the Char mentioned above, and additional German, Japanese, Italian, Hungarian, and Czech subjects that no one has produced.
"Variety is the spice of life."
Instead of trying to out do Tamiya's or Academy's excellent Tiger I kits, AFV should have done something new and innovative. I guess they would rather stick with a "safe" subject and for me, this is extremely discouraging.
Enjoy your modeling...
