For me,
An I.A.R.-80 in 1/48th with a full selection of A.M. goodies.
They too will be ground up to lubricate the gears of progress.

Although a lot of previously neglected British aircraft have finally appeared i kit form in recent years, mainly through the effort of Czech manufacturers, one important aircraft is still missing in (modern injection moulded) kit form; de Haviland Venom, both single and two seaters!

Personally I only want it in God's scale, but I can see the need for it also in 1/48.
Please.....

As always starting with a nice 1/144 F-4B/N/J/S and even K and M. Bf.109 G series in plastic injection, preferably Sweet. I would say Dragon and Revell rerelasing their 1/72 Luft'46 series but THEY ARE ALREADY DOING SO!:}

Possibly a bit sad but I'd like to see Eduard bring out a 1/48 HE111 series.
If I could afford it I'd comission them myself

I would die to see a plastic kit or resin kit of a Latham 47. I've been looking for one for a while and I guess there isnt' one. maybe at one time there was, but I'm young, so I don't really know. That and a resin detail kit for the interior of the revell ford trimotor!

Hi Buddy,Airfix and Heller both made the De Havilland Dragon Rapide in 1/72 scale,hope that this is one wish that`s fulfilled.I built one and raided the spares box to make it an 8th air force comms aircraft,not a bad kit as i remember.

-- 1/48 P-61 series from anyone named Tamiya, Hasegawa or Eduard
-- 1/48 B-25J from Eduard (not too much to ask, huh?)
That's it, Not too much really.

Personally the one model I've always wanted to see ....
1:48 B-52
Yes it would be huge ... but it would be fun.

All of the above, plus
1/32 Albatros D.V / D.Va (Eduard or Roden)
1/32 D.VII (Eduard or Roden)
1/48 B-24
1/32 Dr.I from Eduard
Is this too many
Eduards entire line of 1/48th in 1/32
Rodens entire line of 1/48th WWI in 1/32
A nice hot cup of tea
A good accurate P-38 in 1/32
A P-51 from Eduard in 48 and 32
And an endless pocketbook.

Brigand, Beaufort, Javelin and Sea Vixen in 1/48. Hopefully the rumours about at least two of them will turn out to be true for a change. And now that Hasegawa has announced its Draken it would be nice if someone could follow up with a J32, too.

Special Hobby have a 48 scale Beaufort planned for release this year.
Trumpeter have done the DC-3 and C-47 variant as two seperate kits which may appear in late 2008 or early 2009.
I'd hope to see in 48
Lancaster B I/III {better than the currant one}
Sunderland III
Lysander III {retooled and better than the previous offerings}
Lockheed Hudson {better than the previous issues}
CA II Woomera

A 1/48 Martin B-10 and/or 139
A 1/48 DeHavilland Dragon Rapide w/ a lot of different markings.
A Caproni c-60 just for kicks (Oh, the rigging!!!)

Hi Danny
Well, some of my prayers look set to be answered this year (a new Boomerang and a Beaufort etc.) but, for starters, I'd love to see Eduard revisit their old Hawker Tempest Mk. V to bring it up to their latest standards - and maybe they could add a Mk. II while they were at it.
I've already got the following as 1/48 scale old short-run kits, but it'd be great to see them tackled afresh by the mainstream guys or today's much improved semi-short-run producers:
North American P-51H Mustang
North American F-82 Twin Mustang
Arado Ar 196
Focke-Wulf Fw 189
Heinkel He 51
and, like Derek and Jean-Luc, I'd like to see a new kit of the IAR 80.
One I haven't got, despite it being an all time favourite (Jean-Luc's epic struggle to build the FM kit convinced me to wait!

) is the Henschel Hs 126.
And a Hawker Hart (and family) - come on Classic Airframes.

All the best
Rowan

Decent 1:48 Fokker D.XXI's have been on my wanted-list for some time now, but with the release of Special hobby's good-looking kit, and with the wasp-engined 4th series coming later this year, it's off my list.
Mainstream Blenheims in both 1:72 and 1:48 would be nice.
Edit: I'll have to take back my griping about Eduard dropping their plans on Mig-21's. Apparently their going to do them in 2009 after all.

Think I have to say a Zeppelin Staaken R.VI in 1/32 scale.
Cheers !

BTW 1/48th B-52,

Forgot to add - I'd really, really like a late-model F2H in 1/48 as well. It's the last big gaping hole in the gull-grey-and-white era of the USN.
