I think manufactureres need to take note of what the oposition is producing as well.....better to have the whole market in plastic for a vehicle ?
Than have both produce the same thing and put their resources into it only to have cut their sales in half or more because it is also produced by another manufacturer.   ?

I would  like  to  see the  M-26 Pershing tank come  out. I  am  also  hoping  that Rubicon  Models  might  also  produce  some vehicles  for both  the late WWII period  such  as  the Centurion and  the  Cold War- Israeli Super Sherman, M-48, T-55, M-112

Rubicon have said they are concentrating on WW2.

Well  the  M-26 Pershing  i and  the  Centurion  both  came  out  in the  1944-45 time  period  so they  are  WWII as is the  Comet.
 Still  would  like  to  see someone  release 1/56 scale   armor from the  1950-60.

As ultravanillasmurf said, I think they're sticking to WWII (plenty of subjects after all) - if you're after early cold war stuff, Force of Arms produce a very nice Centurion MkIII (resin/pewter) which I can wholeheartedly recommend & Blitzkrieg are in the process of starting a range of cold war armour (check their facebook page).
 Hope that's of some use.

I think an M26 and Centurion I would be rather cool.  But there are a lot of more important WW2 subjects I'd rather see Rubicon do first.  See the list at the start of this thread.

I would  agree with adding  on  some  of  the  early  war tanks. Considering  that  the  T-26 served in  great  numbers during  the  Spanish Civil War,  Invasion  of Finland in 1939 and   for the   First year  of  the  war in the  east it might  be considered as should the   Soviet T-70 tank, which  was  produced  in greater numbers than  the T-34. The  Earlier models  of the  Pz III is also  a good  choice as is  the  Pz II, which soldier on until nearly  the end of the  war. Since  Rubicon has  done  the   Tiger I then perhaps somewhere  down the line  should  be the    JSII. The  US  2 1/2 ton  truck  might  be another  good idea. Still I  am  glad  to  see  any new  releases.
