Maybe a Taigen JS3 one day if Tam produced one.

You know, I used to mock the Chinese manufacturers for "following in Tamiya's footsteps" when releasing tank models, but recent years have shown that they have tried to do their own thing - PanTiger, T-55A, ZTZ-99, Abrams (Hobby Engine/HL), and the Challenger.
That being said, they could have done a KV-85 or something, given the mix-and-match nature of Soviet tanks. And how about a few assault guns then, like an SU-152?
