So..... what should I wish for next?  :icon_beer: A new Chieftain? AMX-10RC? ERC-90? Something South African? That Tamiya continues their T-55 line-up and gives us a nice T-55M next?

An Olifant in 1/35 would be nice.

Maybe that is something that could be done by AFV Club since they have a very nice Centurion already kitted up in several versions it would make sense for them to offer the Olifant as part of that family of vehicles.

Hopefully the M103A2 will not be far behind. 

Maybe they can also produce the M51 ARV in to compliment the M103?

Another one to consider would be an M103 with the 152mm gun/missile launcher from the MBT-70/XM803.

This idea is growing on me!

Glad to be of assistance :)

How about a Bundeswehr M103 armed with a 12.8 cm main gun?  Ammunition size was about the same as the American 120mm two component ammunition so it would not be too far fetched to just give it a bigger gun :)

A low velocity gun/missile launcher, with coaxial 105 or 120mm and a turret mounted RCS with an 20-30mm auto canon?

Given the current pattern of releases, Criswill Predicts! a Conquerer Heavy gun tank from Meng...
But I Dragon does one too, that's be great. There is also an M 103 up at Ft. Hood - or there was twenty some odd years ago. Like the good father said - its huge.

The USMC Reserve Center located in Yakima, Washington has an M103 on the front lawn.  I was lucky to have had access to the inside of the vehicle one year during a local mocel show.  Huge is a good description for the internal space afforded the crew of an M103.  It is indeed very spacious inside with a lot of room for the two loaders to maneuver the separate loading ammunition (cartridge and projectile) to service the piece.

You could have a party inside that turret with all of that space available.  The empty shell racks would make excellent bottle storage :)

About bloody time someone offered an injection molded MBT-70/XM803 in 1:35th scale!  Of course there will be much hand-wringing and lamenting on the part of those that purchased the resin kit.  :)

M103, MBT70, looks like the Cold War is finally getting a look in.  I wonder how soon before we see a Conqueror?  Meng might be the best bet for that.   I also wonder how soon before we see various conversions for the MBT70?

Well as I have just started the Accurate Armour Mk11 Chieftain.. you can almost bank in one of those.
Already appeased the Resin gods with a finished AA Conquerer as well.. so big chance that will happen as well
