Well for me it would be a big BIG one, The new Landrover wolf xd lwb in 1/18 scale. The conversion potential is just about endless but i would start by doing a u.s rangers recon vehicle. Gregers

I'd love to see them do a SA-8 Gecko in 1/35, but I'd settle for some 1/72 armor kits!

I agree wholeheartedly with amtracdaddy1...Let's see a good kit of the Ontos. I have the old Renwal kit--what a dog! In addition, how about a good kit of the Swedish S tank?

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

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

What about some new WWII Japanese armor kits. Great for dioramas in the jungle of Burma or China

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!!!!!!!!

For a 1/25 scale, well, I have been dreaming of a M-4 Sherman( any version) with full interior. Smile [:)]

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.

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.

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

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!!!
