Nice,

 

Just need them to release the T-55AM with the Marksman turret from the Cheiftain kit to make a Finnish Marksman.

Yes!

I haven´t built any AFV for some years now but an Itpsv 90 would sure look nice, and also our modernized -M version of the MTB with all added stuff (skirts, eyebrows, stowage boxes etc.).

Please ! V-P

Agreed - Takom have everything ready, they just need to bundle the sprues together.

 

Now that they're doing the non-Russian version I wonder if they'll do the Enigma as well as the Tiran 4 and 5? Seems a fairly logical move as all would be quite popular and judging from the King Tigers Takom aren't afraid to tread on Tamiya's (or Dragon's) turf.

Looks like I hypothesised correctly - Takom have shown box art for a Tiran-4 (at top, above the Maus' and FV432):

 

 

I make a wild guess and say that the Tiran could be in South Lebanese Army colours - it looks more blue-grey than the standard IDF sand grey.
