Some really good suggestions above.
I think my top 5 would be:
Caterpillar D9
Caterpillar/JCB aggregate mover or a front loader of some description.
Heavy weapon technicals with recoilless rifle etc.
BV206S or Bronco
Insurgents on mortorbikes/scooters
---
Although not really a proper request, in general in any light infantry pack, as standard I'd like to see:
A commander type, binoculars etc
A sniper type
A radio operator
Also a normal soldier lying down

GHQ already makes a Fox armoured car (N114). Is there a different one you're referring to?
Second the Wombat and Stalwart suggestions though. And throw in another, the Dutch DAF YP-408. This is another "Not sure what I'd do with it but I like the vehicles so what the heck I'll throw in the suggestion anyway" suggestion.

Ayup, the Stalwart & Abbot are definitely needed, as is the oft-mentioned Conqueror heavy tank.
Someone else on another thread mentioned the Jaguar strike aircraft, which would be awesome. Also, how about a Harrier GR3, Sea Harrier and also a Buccaneer strike aircraft ??
Scimitar II based on the Spartan hull for Iraq/Afghan??
The Peak turret for the FV432 is already part of GHQ's offering, but you only get one of them in the pack (perhaps negotiate a deal with GHQ??)
Some more of the Israeli vehicles to round out that line would also be good, notably the 120mm mortar on the Halftrack, a modified M16 with 20mm AA, the M48/60/Centurion with Blazer ERA for '82?? Also, 60's/70's Israeli infantry would be good & they could also be used as Canadians in Europe since they wore similar gear and used FAL's.
Oh, how about an M38 jeep?? It was used extensively by both Israel & Jordan,not to mention everywhere else.....
The Patria AMV now has thousands of actual vehicles in use worldwide and there are a variety of cool version which could be fielded.
There are a few nice items for me in the current release schedule, but I must admit to not being really excited. Bring on 2018-19 releases. !!
edit - I forgot about the Israeli SP 160mm mortar & M50 155mm, both on the Sherman chassis.
South African Rooikat 8x8 armoured car - now there's a COOL vehicle.....
Generic 'commonwealth' infantry in bush-hats with FAL's would also go well.
Also, Israel used a variant of the M150 (M113 with TOW), which is a GHQ offering sorely in need of upgrading. Even better, it could be done very easily and cheaply, not even really needing to be a "new release".
There are few models I can think of off the top of my head which could be 'upgraded' or alternative versions released quickly - eg M60 with dozer blade, the aforementioned Israeli SPAA (an M3 with the Maxson turret placed in the back, NOT an M16 variant), an Egyptian BTR-152 with quad 12.7/14.5 AA.
These could be very simple additions to the line not requiring the level of effort for a full/ new release', but would IMO sell well.
I (and I'd assume others as well) would really like to see these gaps in the not-so-modern lines filled in.

From Wikipedia....
"SPW 50PK(MRF) (Minenräumfahrzeug), also known as Minenräumfahrzeug 50PK (SPW) – A mine-clearing vehicle, equipped with two containers for mine-clearing charges WLWD of Polish design. The containers were loaded onto the roof of the troop compartment via two ramps, welded on the engine deck."
(The WLWD for Warsaw Pact.)
I have also seen the WLWD on a T55 picture.
