WW-2 Czech trucks & unarmored Soviet tracked gun-tugs.
Jagdpanzer 1 on the French (Renault?) chassis...
Maybe a Flakpanzer 1. Yah, I know there were only a couple dozen.
But how many Flakpanthers, mice, & armored-cab T-26t's were there...?

How about the following:

WW2 Japanese TYPE 89 Main Battle Tank. Used extensively in China and the Pacific.

WW2 Soviet SU-12. A GAZ truck with a 76mm Infantry gun mounted on the rear chassis. Used in the 1939 campaign against the Japanese. If you can make the French Laffley, you can make the SU-12.

Tops of my Wish List:

- 47mm Schneider AT gun for my Romanian forces to use.
(An actual Schneider gun.

)

- New Soviet WW2 Infantry with Mosin-Nagant rifles. Summer uniforms first. Greatcoats for winter would be nice, too.

- Mid-war US Army Shermans. Could be M4, or M4A3 (M4 might be better), but mid-war production (split CO's hatch, VVS, M34a1 mantlet, applique armor). Fills the gap between the current early-production (M4A1 75mm with M34 mantlet) and the current late-production (M4A1 76mm, M4A3 75mm, M4A3E8).

- A 1950s US Army APC. M59 would be best, but I'd settle for an M75 if that's what came up. One of the two, to go with those lovely M47s and M48s, and face-off against the T-55s and BTRs, please. I mean, how can I resist early cold-war?

My list is short. Got too much to paint as it is. But these are the items I would not be able to resist buying.

Already commented, but want to add agreement to some other folks sugestions and a few more-

Hungarian heavy weapons. Don't forget the Solothurn 20mm ATR's & Schwarzlos MG's
Infantry & cavalry would be nice too, but I can get by using Germans for now.

German and other Euro-Ford trucks.

Romanian built Schneider 47mm ATG- Agreed, unfortunately too true.
When I got the current model, I decided to give them to my German Infantry as "Pak-38 substitutes". Just put a "G" code on the current pack & it's OK for that.

Romanian hv.weapons- revise it to include the issue MG's; not Soviet "trophy guns".
And how about some Romanian cavalry too?

The SU-12 idea is interesting. How many were built? Any Barbarossa era service ?
Other "odd but early" SP's for the Russki's-
The "SU-57" made with a ZIS-2 on a Stalinets tractor- about a hundred used in late 41/42; Moscow defense etc. Odd, fragile; but deadly...
Wasn't there also a 37mm AA on a heavy truck that pre-dates the H-Track version?

Last (finally!),& high on my "want list"-
Czech and Swedish "export" artillery, flak, and motor vehicles
Soviet towed 76mm flak guns. Italian 75mm too.
Italian 65mm inf/mtn.guns & 75mm field guns. (I know; the Jap. "Krupp", but...)
Horse drawn limbers, carts etc.- needed all around, but especially Soviet.
Last, I might as well mention that Renault-based Jagdpanzer-1 again...

JimR.
EDIT-Darn! Forgot to second the Soviet inf. with bolt-action rifles!

I agree with Jim. Let's get the Hungarian heavy weapons out there along with a Romanian heavy weapons pack without the using the the Russian heavy MG as the main machine gun. I also agree with the Italian 65mm Infantry gun. Hopefully we can get some late war Germans with MP44 and some U.S. Airborne. I guess time will tell soon enough the list should be coming out soon.

Being a moderns junkie, I'd like to see:

Mi-6 Helo

With this post I'm hoping its like entering a free draw at the last moment (and stuffing the ballot box!).

My FINAL 10 wish list for 2008-9 Single Blisters.

1. Matilda I...(still haven't gamed France 1940 since going on my Matilda I - strike...weak...can't hold back the Czech tanks much longer...thirsty for 25 pounder gun crews...

2. Re-do WWII H/W packs for US...too late for UK, Russia and Germany...I made 'em myself. Need .30 cal and 81mm mortars, bazookas and crews.

3. Jerry cans, oil barrels, ammo boxes, spare tracks and unrolled track - as in immobilized tanks...I may do this one myself when time permits.

4. Tank Riders but most especially Russian Desantniki. Molded on a T-34/76 or 85 turret or loose to be positioned.

5. Churchill Crock - flame on!

6. Engineers (Pioneres) for Germany. with satchels, mines, wire cutters, and russian PPSH's...Stalingrad anyone?

7. Russian Rifle Infantry with ATRs in the pack...common as ants at a picnic. Maybe a crouching ATR with 2 man crew. Charging with wedge hats and rolled greatcoats over the shoulder...Urah!

8. Tank comanders. A sprue for Germany, US, UK and Russia. WIth molded on common turret hatches.

9. Command Teams for all nations - in one blister. Radios, tents, officers and orderlies.

10. Ten more wishes...

Troy

I personally like the recommendations of several members regarding tank accessory packs.

Pack 1: pack of 60 tank commanders (from chest up and with both arms out.)
Pack 2: could be Jerry cans, Soviet fuel drums, ammo crates, mine rollers, hedge row cutters, antenna wires? any good combination would be fine.
