Yes!

I rectified!

All I want for Christmas is my two front t-34s! Okay so its teeth, but whatever we really need more russian armor.

I agree. I like their assault guns, pretty wicked.

I would like to see more:

Self Propelled Guns/ Tank Destroyers

More variants of the half-tracks (i.e. Anti-tank, Rocket)

ANYTHING from Italy, Russia, France, Britain, or Canada.

+ 1 for the Arado 196A

Panzer_M wrote:+ 1 for the Arado 196A

Yeah. I think it would be cool if they ever did the plane, one of the schemes could be that of the 196A used aboard the Admiral Graf Spee during her raiding cruise in 1939. As part of the ship's disguise, the whole aircraft was repainted with bogus French marking to fool merchant ship lookouts.

Speaking of floatplanes, I'd also like to see the Seiran fighter/bomber designed specifically for the monsterous I-400 "Sen Toku" subs Japan built.

I will make it easy on them!

Start with what should have been done already!

The 251 series half tracks! Give us a 251/6 and a 251/7 as well as the Zu Fuss! All would be very easy to do, all should include good figures.

Throw in another 251 troop version with some mtd and dismounting figures. Ambulance version??? ( keep pace with FOV...or they may take you out??)

Flak Panzers repaints... good schemes and place the 3.7 cm weapon in there. Ost wind and Mobile Wagon!

Sdkfz 7/1 with good crew! ( ya fov does a great one, have one, but would love a good cammo job and at $20.00 with a flak gun crew?)

Love to see some limeted edition armor. A Wittman Tiger, redo a few pieces on your tiger with zimmermatt, some good accessories, add in a few figures with the man himself. ( evryone else has done it, why not?) Do a Carius version as well.
Panthers.... Schurtzen???? Maybe some zimmermatt??? throw in a limeted Barkman edition, good new crews and personality figures??? Maybe even a couple mounted tank riders??

Lastly on figures bring some to market that will be there for a while. The basics and the sellers! US infantry, US airborne... how could they not have the 101 with its recent popularity??? ( Band o Brothers etc???) Brit inf 44.... and of Course Panzer Greniders and more Fallscherimjager... Anything in waffen ss camo or Falls sells like cray... Look at K&C, or any other manufacture... these things are money in the bank!

Rants so long Ill just stop right here!

I have given up on the long wish lists and instead pine over one AC/AFV at a time.

21C has to make a P-38. The only other 1/32 plane that would make sense would be a Spitfire, but FOV has one that is not too bad. Bring on the Lightning.

I doubt we will see it but I wish 21C would make a T-34C. I bet they could recoup their tooling costs just with sales to collectors. I am pretty sure everyone here would buy a case of them. Personalize them with some Cyrillic slogans and I can't think of a better sight. Baker's dozen perhaps? The running gear could serve as a base for the SPGs in the future.

Heres my list:
P-40E or later Warhawk
Bf-110
P-38 Lightning
Mosquito
Hawker Typhoon or Tempest
Late model Spitfire
IL2-Sturmovik
F4F Wildcat
F6F Hellcat
F8F Bearcat
F7F Tigercat
F9F Panther
Heinkel HE 162
F-105 Thunderchief

And last but not least we need a 1:32 Convair B-36 Peacemaker!

I know this was directed at 21st and FOV, however, since BBI was the first to strike with modern jets, and it's a hit, I would like to see them stick with jets. 21st and FOV can make the piston aircraft.
F-14, duh!
F-15
F-16
F-18
F-22
F-86
F-100
F-101 I'm really liking the look of this plane more and more
Mig 15 or 17. But really l think the 19 is cooler looking.
Mig 21 since we have a Phantom we need this one.
Mig 29
Su 27
Tornado
Harrier
A-10 of course!

As for props from the other two:
P-38
Spitfire. We need this one in plastic too
-4 version of the Corsair
Hellcat
All those cool looking Japanese planes picture on the first page of this thread. IMHO, I think those look better than the Zero. I never was impressed by its appearance. The Japanese had better looking planes.
Typhoon
Sea Fury
B-25 and 17
and the coolest of them all-F7F Tigercat!!

Need this heavy monster too:







Der STURER EMIL

What the heck, go for broke (since it will never be done in 1/18 scale), a B-25 along with:
B-27
B-26
p-38
JU-88

and especially

B-17
B-24
Lancaster

As you you can see, I am fond of multi engine. If you have ever seen Franklin's 1/48 dicast bombers, 1/32 would be HUGE. Throw in retractable gear and movable flight surfaces...
Cross my fingers....
