I completely support the notion of an Oddball Productions Centurion Mk III through Mk V MBT family, and variants.
Likewise, the Chieftan MBT family is not (as far as I am aware) represented in paper modelling.

I can suggest a unique family of vehicles, all of which have the same 6x6 chassis but differing bodies, and few if any of which have been represented as paper models.
Alvis Stalwart: Amphbious Military Cargo truck. Alvis Saladin: Armoured Car.
Alvis Saracen: Armoured Personnel Carrier. Alvis Salamander: Amphibious Fire Engine.

In naval models, I can suggest five unusual vessels.
An X-Craft miniature submarine such as attacked the Tirpitz.
an XE-Craft, same shape as above, but slightly enlarged for service in the Pacific against the Japanese.
A Delphin miniature submarine, evolution of the Seehund class (more or less).
A Seeteufel miniature submarine, basically a Delphin on Panzer IV tracks.
A DSRV. Deep Submergence Rescue Vessel, USN.

As far as I know, few if any of the machines I have suggested have been modelled at all, let alone modelled in card or paper.

I admit: Stalwart, Saracen, and Saladin have been done as diecasts and in styrene, though even so they are relatively rare.

I'm willing to help with pictures and research if necessary.

Zathros, Thank you my friend for suggesting the Centurion to Aaron, I'd intended to do so but ended up going to bed before I had done so.

Kind and Respectful Regards Aaron my friend, Uyraell.
