How about an Armored cab version as seen on both US and British beaches in Normandy ? Maybe as  a resin/pewter kit ?

How about an M3 Medium (Lee/Grant) tank. Something a bit more useful to more people.
I'm just saying.

I thought the M3 medium was the next one on the existing M4(A1) pipeline, so it does seem a bit redundant to mention it on someone else's wish list.

Now you have piqued my interest.

The M3 Medium (Lee/Grant) is not on any of Rubicon's project lists. It has only been very loosely mentioned in the forums. Talking about something and doing something are two different things in this industry. That being said, this means a Caterpillar D7 Bulldozer is just as likely to be produced.

These days we should count ourselves lucky when it comes to these plastic gaming model kits. Not so long ago – just a few short years really – we were very limited in choice and quality. Now we have a much better choice, but there are still some common items that gamers would like to see released in a good plastic model kit. What I mean by “common items” are items that would see a lot of use on the typical gaming table for games like Bolt Action, Chain of Command, Battleground WW2, Operation Squad, and several other skirmish level type games. Before a Caterpillar D7 Bulldozer, I would think that gamers would want something like an M3 Medium. Would getting a Caterpillar D7 Bulldozer be nice? Well, heck yeah! However, given a choice of which kit we would like to see first, well, I hope that the majority would want to see the M3 Medium (Lee/Grant) before the Caterpillar D7 Bulldozer.

I was also surprised to see that there are no good Caterpillar D7 Bulldozer files for 3D printers.

They have said the M3 medium is on their radar once the M4A1 medium is completed.
