Hi everyone,
I am so glad RM is about to release vietnam vehicules kit range that I don't know how to wait quietly for the due kits. So before to be able to buy them online I would like to share with you a little synthesis of what is comming and what I would like the most in terms of building my armies for a team yankee like 28mm wargame :
Up to now we have for US and NZ
- M113 ACAV and M113A1
- M106
- M163
- M577
- Ford MUTT
- M40 gun
- Mule
- Sheridan
- huey
- Centurion mk5
- V100
For North Vietnam we already have
In My Opinion we are lacking for vietnam :
for USA
for North vietnam
- PT76
- BRDM2
- ZU23
- ZU57 AA guns
- SAM7 with zill 157
For the future would be glad to have more PLASTIC eighties stuff for cold war area wargame NATO vs varsaw pact :
for NATO
- M60A1
- M1
- Leopard 1A3
- chieftain
- AMX30
- ATM tow
- marder 1
- FV432
- AMX10
- VAB
- scorpion/scimitar
- landrover
for varsaw pact
- T62
- T72
- ATM sagger
- BMP1
- HIND A/B
But that's an other story for the future which will rely on the size of the market and so on the volume of the sales of vietnam stuff I presume (or of the competitors of RM who knows)

For me the m48 is a must have and pretty sure its in the works.
Another couple of suggestions the first would need a new turret and twin 37mm that could be added to the already available t34 hull

This one would be a complete new kit but does have other potential uses versions

yes Somtec the BTR-40 is really a good idea. It could be used for korean war too.
and the T34 AA option is attracting too.
