Ideally Greg.  Wish I could convince model companies to send you 1/48 B-36, B-52, C-133, R6V, and Mars flying boat to boost your U.S. 50s era kits.  Need to increase my lobbying efforts.  Hang in there, keep the hope and I will too.

Graeme,

I was having similar issues with the registration page that had the process freeze on me several times.  I disabled my add-blocker and do not track features for that page and it was still giving me problems during the registration process.  Eventually I was able to finish the registration process only after refreshing the screen a number of times to get it cleared out and working for me.  The eMail was finally sent and I was able to log in properly registered.  Certainly was a bit out of the ordinary though. 

You should have included a request for a 1:35th Leopard Biber AVLB in your submission.  M48 AVLB and M60 AVLB would also be nice but one step at a time.

OK, I hit keyword Bundeswehr, and they all popped back up, in the "Conversion" category

Graeme, thanks for finding the missing entries.  I had also done the same thing as you and entered a search for conversions but nothing came up for me at all but a blank page saying "nothing found" which was no great surprise for me since the the page was acting a bit strange during my visit anyway I just gave up and closed it.

Trump did the Franziska with the 6-axle on-road trailer. This one is the Elefant with the 4-axle off-road trailer (as used by CAF). Revell do this exact kit in 1/72...I am hoping they scale it up to 1/35.

your suggestion for an VW Iltis is very good, i know a lot of Belgian modelers who would sell an arm and a legg for one of those  :)

* For reasons which are as incomprehensible as they are perverse, somebody has also asked for the Marut in the Wrong Scale. Can't imagine why anyone would want to vote for it, but for those who wish to satisfy their idle curiosity.... ;)

Just put up an idea for a 1/144th Skylon spaceplane. Would go well with the White Knight/Spaceship Two they've just brought out.

The poll isn't up yet 'cos it has to be approved.

It may be more a browser thing.  The few I've added pictures to were done from work, using a Windoze version of Firefox.   I know I can't add pictures using my older, Linux version of Firefox from home.  So, it maybe that if you're using (gag) Safari or Chrome, it won't work?

During lunch today, I was scrolling through all the suggestions (slowly, what's up with Revell's site?) and along with my previous vote-getters (Chenowith DPV, HH-3, NH-90, F-16XL) I had to add a vote for the 1/48 B-2 and P-3. 

So many choices, it will be interesting to see which, if any, make it into production.

As this is Revell Germany trolling for ideas I wouldn't get too excited about 1/48th releases.

Too bad they can't go through and merge duplicate suggestions... like I noted on ARC, no less than three people started C-5 entries. Scooter at 200, mine at 83 and a newer guy at 30-ish... then again, I'd suspect that part of it is their poor choice of layout where you have to see the whole tag list in this narrow column before you see your search results, and a lot of people taking the blank space to the right of that long-arse tag list as "no results".

A on concept, D on execution of it.
