My next 1/50 scale project

Couple days ago I finished the Fiat 626 of the Royal Italian Army and today I'm ready to start the next project. But the problem is... I can't decide what to choose, which one should join the collection.
There're five possibilities:
1. Cuban UAZ-469
2. Australian Willys MB Mobile Cinema
3. IJA Isuzu TX40
4. Argentine M9 Half-Track
5. USMC M422 Mighty Mite

Whatever you choose, I'll be happy with that.
I can't wait to see the results of this poll. All options are very interesting.

So, let's vote!

Of course I would vote for the IJA vehicle, but I will be happy to see whatever you decide to design and build.

And as I also had one vote, I voted for the M9, even though it would be the most difficult one from all five options. Argentine Army also seems to be totally forgotten by modelers.

The Australian Willys MB was the another one I considered to vote for. It's also from the Pacific Theater, just like the Isuzu.
I'm sure that, sooner or later, all five vehicles will end up in my collection. Here, we just choose which one will join it first.

Karol, that VW Iltis... Well, I don't really find it interesting. I know the Canadian army used them and that's probably why you proposed it. If I do something Canadian, it will be... Ram II. This is one of my modeler's dreams and I would build it from scratch but it's an enterprise for at least 2 or 3 years. Right now I don't want to start such a long-term projects.
And remember that I also have an M-1978 Koksan to finish...

Here're three more photos of M9, M422 and Willys MB.
For the camouflaged Cuban UAZ-469 and IJA Isuzu TX40 it's hard to find other real photos.

The pictures are always useful. Especially the close-ups on details. If you send me any, I'd be really grateful.
However, looks like I have to remove the Ram II from my future paper models list.
I've just discovered that Bronco released it in May 2019...
Thankfully, I will not have to struggle with recreating the Ram's hull in paper. That would be a nightmare! Doable, but still a nightmare to do it from scratch. That's why I said it would be a project for at least 2 or 3 years.

Hi Kacper, I voted for the IJA Isuzu TX40. I too would like to see the Ram II in paper. My Uncle was with the 1st Canadian Armoured Carrier Regiment in WW2. They drove the Ram II with the turrets removed to carry infantry into battle. I have all his "stuff" from WW2 including his uniform. I have tried to design the Ram II many times in paper, never getting it the way I wanted. I have done a few Canadian/British armoured cars in paper. You can search the threads I started and check them out.

Brent, I see you've built an Otter LRC. Is there a way to get this model? Actually, I'd like to build this one and maybe even improve it a bit.
