John whats up with U?
Ace still is a small company,and whenever they ask for a most wanted piece,zhey have to think about it if it will be making money or not,and that is the problem with many U.S. kits,cause most major companies concentrate on this topic. And tis means that more exotic items are more interesting for companies like ACE. E.g. Revell produces a wide range of Afv's but they concentrate on Germany,England and the US,Dragon mostly covers the US and so on.So just the rumor that anyone might produce this or that kit sooner or later tells ACE not to waste money with it,cause the danger is too big.but there are other products uncovered by thte major players (AA,Recovery,Utility asoand these are the kits ACE should make,cause others don`t seem to care,because u dont see them daily on TV or in Newspapers.So for example there are not so many French vehicles produced in Small scale currently 'though this is a Land Revell could wonderfully cover,but Ace is currently THE producer who offers most French kits.
BTW these are the modern kits mentioned several times

so I don't see the m108 or M109 winning this time.
So please stop Complaining and start to be happy about the fact that there are atleast 1 or 2 companies that try to realize topics wished by their customers.
