As in the title. I'm working on a few reworkings of some models in our lineup, to include open turrets, interiors, engine compartments, etc.

But is there anything else desperately on people's want lists in 1:56?

WW2 only though. My moderns list is miles long.

We already offer both versions of the Aerosan.

Standard:

Armored:

Thought about doing the Passenger "troop" version...Also thought about getting skiers made to hang onto the sides. Need to sell more Aerosans first though

I would like to see a "Hummel Panzerhaubitze" and a "Jagdpanzer Marder III" for the Germans.
The US Army needs a "Pershing" to recreate the epic battle between a German Panther and a Pershing in front of the "Köllner Dom".

Hummel has my vote if enough folks want it! We do have a Panzer IV kit to base it on.

Not quite WWII, but a 1/56th Crossley Tender would have serious Great war and interwar potential.

I'll buy you a drink - no, wait TWO drinks - at Historicon if you'll make me one.

Drawing me back into WW1 eh? I will say this... I'm just about done with another master. A 1916 era total complete from scratch our Model T. It's a bit bigger in scale, about 1:52 to take on the larger figures. An it will blow our other offerings on the subject out of the water. I have the say the engine and drivetrain came out very well in the test casts, as did the lettering on the tires

If you would have a Kickstarter Account I would pay you money for a "Hummel" and if you make the "Hummel" you could make a "Naashorn" without much extra effort as well.

Sounds great. I have the Rolls Royce AC, and that's a lovely bit of kit.

I do need about six 1/56th Crossley tenders, though....

French stuff:

Laffly trucks, all kinds.

Lorraine Carriers, all kinds.

Gnome Rhone cycles.

Polish stuff:

Vickers E Polish service

Fiat truck Polish service (all kinds of useful for all kinds of stuff)

Ever thought about Huey choppers for Vietnam? Something a little different.

That's all I can think of for now...

Bedford QL with 6lb portee.

There seems to be some really obvious stuff missing:

Jagdpanzer IV (L/40 with zimmerit and L/70 without please)
Marder variants ( IIIM please)
Daimler Armoured Car
QLD and QLT trucks
sdkfz251/22
Stug 39H (and other 21st Panzer variants)
Steyr 1500
German horse drawn equipment

... to name a few

I think WW2 is pretty well served already.

The only things I can think of, off the top of my head, that aren't covered in this scale.

Italian P-40 Medium tank. Limited utility but it seems to be a gamers fave, which is remarkable for an Italian tank.

Steyr ADGZ. Used in the early war period and saw quite a bit of service.

Most of the Czech tanks save the LT-38/Pz-38 The LT-35/ Pz-35 saw service up into 1942 with the Germans. Of course there are also the Czech tanks that saw service with the Slovaks, the Iranians and... Peru. I have some photos of the Peruvian TNH tanks that I took in Callao earlier this year if you were ever interested.

The Marmon-Herrington tankettes. Saw service in the Pacific and lets's face it who wouldn't want a dinky little tank that comes in two versions, a left handed turret and a right handed version. Sell 'em as two packs.

The Soviet Monsters, the SMK and the T-100. Eat yer heart out Maus fans and tremble ye Finns. The fact that a combined total of three examples of the two types were ever built shouldn't put you off, it's never stopped Panzer freaks and at least these saw actual service. Postage would be ugly.

I think the thing that's most missing in WW2 are guns not tanks but then very few ever get fielded.
