                        What Eric, you don't like the Blue Tank kit? Laugh [(-D]

                        This would be great -- just in time for the Towed Gun group build. Patton's rescue of the beleagured Americans in the Bulge was really helped by M4 tractors tugging Long Toms, which would be quite nifty to model.

                        AMERICAN WW2 INFANTRY FIGURES PLEASE!!!!!!!

                        I dont care what company it is Dragon Tamiya Italeri whatever, but no resin, weekly allowance doesnt allow that.

                        Preberably at rest fig's too.

                        This may just be my pet peeve but there are enough German figures, what about the British Italian French Japanese AMERICAN Russian Canadian North Korean, Isreali, Chinese,.... think of the money you could make from those...... the list is endless

                        Ok I'm done I'll get off my soap box now, Sorry just wanted to point that out

                        new US figures especially for towed guns
                        US towed guns.
                        the US halftrack with the howitzer and the other halftracks as well. [they sure seem to sell on EBAY!]

                        More artillery, big stuff. Like the German channel gun that shelled Dover.
                        Retooled ww2 stuff from their range. e.g sdkfz 7, panzer 2 etc..
                        More figures from more nations. (How about some WW2 Diggers!!!)
                        Another vote for armoured trains.
                        More rare WW2 armour, Japan, British, French. I love the German stuff, but there needs to be some variety.

                        1/35: "Char B", for Battle of France dio's.
                        I would also like to see more WWI tanks

                        1/25: Stuart or 75mm Sherman

                        If I can only vote on one........

                        Then it would have to be the Char B.

                        And by the way.....Throw in the parts and decals for the German "Flamthrower" version.

                        up to date russian armour is sadly overlooked, the T-90 series and later ... chinese amour ...and our arch nemesis .. N. korea ... they have the most threatening army of all now ... are there no representatives of thier army out now ... ( except for spensive aftermarket resin kits ?) How bout some iraqi armour ? that would be kool too ! there are a few out there already I know .... I suppose everybody goes with the winning team as does tamiya except for the Germans ( which lost WWII)

                        Jon, that turret on the A30 looks like it came from the U.S.S Monitor.

                        I'd say just anything. Tamiya needs to crank em out. Affordable kits no less, non of that high end die cast that's out of most peoples budget. There is still so many that they haven't ever done. Just because other companies may have one, I'd put my money on a modeler to pick up the same kit if Tamiya produced one. I thought for sure they would pop out a Hetzer after the two Marders came out.

                        If I could vote on the newest Tamiya kit, I would merely ask that they do away with their garbage vinyl tracks. Try putting in some Modelkasten's like Tristar, or even indy links like Dragon, but if they must be a one piece, how about some nicer rubber tracks like the ones AFV Club uses in their kits. I'm tired of spending $40 on a kit with crap tracks, which compels me to spend an additional $25-$40 on aftermarket tracks, a month later I'll spend $30 on a Dragon kit and be happy with the indy links. Despite the added effort it's nice to save $50 on my build, that frees up money for PE, barrels, etc. Maybe someday someone will build kits that have it all.

                        I agree on the 1:35 WW2 German diesel or steam locomotive (and tender), but probably it would be more economical for DML to manufacture it. Well, industry cooperation isn't unheard of. For me, I'd suggest a better HEMTT Cargo or Tanker version (can you guys see it beside the M1A2, refueling or re-loading ammo) or even the M925 series of 5-tonners (I always liked the precision of our Japanese friends). The LAV family needs to be redeemed, too.

                        I would absolutely LOVE to see the Conqueror in plastic from Tamiya. Heck, a Conqueror in plastic from ANYONE would be amazing. The AA resin kit is just far too expensive for a struggling student to afford.

                        Hi there

                        Olifant mk2a; Rooikat; G6 Rhino; Ratel 20 apc and finally a Buffel. In case u r wondering they r used by our army.

                        Just a thought.

                        Keep well.

                        More Brit stuff! Challenger with 17lb'er. Comet, A9, A10, A13 cruisers.

                        An accurate retooled T-34.

                        Char B.

                        T-90. That's a sorely needed tank.
