I would love a decal sheet of Piast eagles to turn Russian armor into Polish. The Eastern front Polish divisions used almost every Soviet/lend-lease vehicle and marked it with the eagle.

In keeping with the original thread: :P

1:285th Modern (x12):
AMX VCI APC for NATO
M-59 APC for US
M-75 APC for US & NATO
T-72 with ER array and/or the additional turret front armour
T-64 with ER array
BRDM-1 (common or garden version)
Open topped BTR-50
Ferret (pack of six, three of each type)
Ferret with Vigilant ATGMs
HAWKs (in a similar manner to the two SA-6 packs)
M-48 with 105mm without the cupola. Not sure if that could cover both the German and Israeli version
SPz 11-2

With luck, the older APCs would increase sales of the contemporary M-47s, which are a bit of an orphan at the moment. And the only alternative VCI is utter rubbish... :evil:

1:285th WWII (x9):
Another Sherman variant, just ‘cos (76mm on A3 chassis?)
PzKw IIIs with side skirts
AB-40 armoured car
Churchill Crocodile
Ground mounted Italian 90mm
Matilda I
US 37mm GMC
Assorted staff cars, motorcycles and bicycles (British, French, Italian etc, one assortment per nation)
US 37mm anti-tank gun
IMO, WWII is pretty well covered now, greater infantry variety and gun crews excepted. :o

1:285th Aircraft (x3):
A-4 Skyhawk for lots & lots of countries
Sepecat Jaguar for French, RAF, Omani
P-40 Kittyhawk – pick a version, preferably one with an Allison engine.
Given the chance, I'd drop three or four off my two lists above and put more here.

1:2400th WWII (x7)
HMAS Australia
HMS York
Fuso ‘44
USS Mississippi ‘44
USS Maryland ‘44
Miscellaneous freighter
Miscellaneous oiler or freighter

1:2400th WWI (x5)
CL Nurnberg
CL Rostock
CA Defence
CA Duke Of Edinburgh/Black Prince
CL Southampton
These are ships from Coronel, Falklands, Troubridge’s ships in the Med at the beginning of the war facing Goeben & Breslau (excellent 'what-if' here, or if you believe Churchill, what would have happened if Troubridge had followed the intent of his orders?), and the flagship of the CLs supporting Beatty's BCs. They'd go further to completing historical orders of battle, which people have been known to buy in job lots. :wink:

I don’t know enough about the rest to comment.

Not to be repetitious, but I'll throw in my wish list one more time. It's all WW2 1/2400 ships anyway.

Germany
Adm Scheer (or Lutzow): either of the pocket battleships that served past 1939. Scheer would probably be easier to convert from the Graf Spee model, all it would require would be a new funnel, a new conning tower (both separate pieces already) and adding a raked bow to the hull.

Hipper: Saw much more action than Prinz Eugen, that's for sure. Another conversion of an existing model.

Gneisnau: if you have a Scharnhorst, how can one not want her partner in crime?

T-22 torpedo boats: Unlike the previous T1 class, these actually saw action.


UK
Berwick/Australia class CA: A variant of the Suffolk, the Australian ones are particularly useful around ** CENSORED **.

L-M class DDs.

O class DDs

Italy
Pola: a conversion of the Zara model

What about the rest of the world?

Post by helgish »

Personally, I would like to see more modern vehicles...French (nothing more satisfying than watching wave after wave of obscelete AMX-10P's being shot to scrap), Polish (those that are not just ex-Russian vehicles, and it is getting really hard converte my own), Japanese, Iranian, Indian, more Chinese (PLEASE!!!) maybe some of the more irregular Eastern European, South African (scotia just really doesn't do it for me). :D

1) Updated kit on the modern US Infantry(everything from the kevlar vests with the integrated magazine slots, camelbaks, m4 carbines, updated m16s, updated m249 SAWs, m240 MGs, Mk19 AGLs. SMAW and Carl Gustav rocket launchers, and also the new Javelin guided AT rocket launchers. Larger variation on the poses would be nice too.
2) Scout/snipers with ghille suits
3) Special ops/commandos - US could have some to look like usmc force recon or rangers or SEALs. Russian spetsnaz would be cool too.

As you can see I'm all for updated modern infantry!

If I had to pick three recommendations for the next New Release List, they would be:

1. US Modern Infantry #2. Updated weapons and personal equipment. I'd like to see some Javelins thrown in.

2. An AVRE Accesories Kit similar to US50 for the Sherman. I'd like Carpetlayers, SBG's, etc for the 79th Armored Division to add to my AVREs.

3. Russian BM-27 Rocket Launcher.

Alternate choices would include more Russian/ Soviet SAMs and Radars, a Q36/ Q37 counterbattery radar pack and the Russian 2S7.
