Imagine this,you have the model companies of the world asembeled in one room hanging on your every word (oh,if only this was real!!),what would you ask (neigh, DEMAND !!) for and in what scale. Now for a bit of a reality check,no 1:1 stuff perhaps we might be lucky and they will read this.
Mine would have to start with the V-22 Osprey in 1:35 scale,what a beast that would be with loads of what-if potential.
What about you guys ?????

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.

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

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.

Cheers !

Having just built Airfix's Vulcan, how about new tooling's (preferably injected plastic) of the V bombers in 1/72nd or even 1/48th.
Andy
BTW 1/48th B-52, here you go .

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.
