Check this site out, you can pick any country profile listed and the vast majority of the ground vehicles would be great choices, IMHO.
Somtimes when you select a country and a new page opens, you have to look down towards the bottom of the page to see any data.

any country listed would be good vehicles to make, they’re not the same old vehicles

I realize what they want, they just have to go to the link and pick any country and make almost any vehicle listed for that country. All the countries are pretty much countries that nobody is making and their hardware is listed with pictures. Look at China, Japan, or USSR/Russia/CIS, great vehicles just with these countries.
I could go to the site and open every country and copy everything listed and compile a mile long wish list for them. I think it is easier for them this way.

To be specific, the one vehicle I would like to see in 1/72 die-cast is a South African Rooikat 105 AFV.

OK, you pulled my string.

How about a French Char B? And a Jap. Type 89?
Here's why..
Both tanks played predominate roles in their respective armies in the early war years. The Char B had a short but brilliant carreer against the PzII/III/IVs. The Type 89 was used extensively in the CBI and Pacific TO's.
Both tanks are VHTF as affordable kits in almost any scale.
That means that us plastic modelers would likely scarf up a couple of each and re-paint on our own just to have 1/72nd versions in our collections. At least I would.
And while we're at it...
An IDF Centurian and "M5x SuperSherman", Italian M11/39, and a PzIIIG (to beat Dragon to the punch).
