At Silver Wings, we always try to live up to our slogan "by modelers for modelers". We have tried to do this by producing high-quality kits of niche subjects that are not likely to be done by another company.
Fortunately, our subjects have been met with enthusiasm by you, our customers. This has both encouraged us to try even harder to provide you with the best possible kit we can create, as well as enabled us to continue to invest in our company to create even more kits. As we have mentioned previously, we are working towards producing some injected kits of more popular subjects in addition to releasing resin kits of other subjects.
As you can imagine, there are still a large number of aircraft that are not available in 1/32 kit form. We have some ideas about which kits we would like to produce, however, this represents a significant financial investment for us.
As you, our customers, have kindly supported us over the years, we have compiled a list of possible releases, and have decided to ask for your help in determining which kits we should produce.
How can you help? Simply visit our website, www.silverwings.pl, click on the poll link and select your top 4 choices from our poll. We will compile the votes and announce what our next releases will be on December 1st, 2012.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to take our poll and tell us which of the kits we listed you would like to see. We will be working over the next several days to analyze the results, and will post a listing of our planned releases for 2013 once completed.
Sincerely,
The Silver Wings Team

Silver Wings Planned Releases for 2013/2014
We would like to thank everyone who took part in our recent poll regarding possible future releases for Silver Wings. We were pleased to have a great number of votes which helped us to choose subjects that you, our customers and friends, would like to see. As we have mentioned previously, we are working towards the ability to release kits in injected plastic in addition to our existing resin kit line. Of course, this is not easy, and although we continue to make progress, we still cannot say for certain which of these kits will be released in resin, and which will be released in injected plastic. That being said, it is indeed our goal to release some of the more "mainstream" kits in injected plastic.
Accordingly, Silver Wings is pleased to announce our next 12 planned releases for 2013/2014:
1) 1:32 Polikarpov I-153 Chaika (January/February 2013)
2) 1:32 Bristol Bulldog (February/March 2013)
3) 1:32 Hawker Demon
4) 1:32 Vought OS2U Kingfisher
5) 1:32 Fiat G.50
6) 1:32 Boeing Stearman
7) 1:32 PZL P.11
8) 1:32 Fokker DXXI
9) 1:32 Yak 9
10) 1:32 Lavotchkin La5
11) 1:32 Fiat CR.20
12) 1:32 Heinkel He-112
Some of you may note that one subject we had previously hinted at producing, a 1:32 Curtiss P6-E is missing from this list. We had indeed planned to release this kit, but it would have been in resin. An injected plastic kit manufacturer was kind enough to contact us about this subject, and expressed their desire to release an injected plastic kit of this subject. Being modelers ourselves, we know that most of our customers would prefer to have a lower-cost injected plastic kit of the P6-E rather than a more expensive resin kit of the same subject. Accordingly, we have dropped this subject from our planned release listing, and along with many of you, hope to see an excellent injected plastic 1:32 Curtiss P6-E in the future. Note that if for some reason the injected plastic kit manufacturer decides not to pursue releasing this kit, we will certainly add it back to our planned list.
We hope that you, our customers and friends, are excited as we at Silver Wings are about these future releases. Due to the excellent response we received from our future release poll, we plan to do more of these in the future and will ask you to vote on planned kit marking options, etc. Be sure to visit our website www.silverwings.pl for the latest information about these new releases, and to see our existing products.
Sincerely,
The Silver Wings Team

Hi again
It's great to see 3 of my choices on the list. I'd still love to see a Gauntlet someday, though.
So - any chance of some 1:48 releases?
All the best
Rowan

Rowan - it's very hard to find something commercial, what has not been released in 1:48 scale yet.
Let's focus on 1:32 kits
We feel we're better in that
