Cheers everyone

Some really interesting new suggestions. I'll try to get the list up to date when I get home from work tomorrow.

All the best

Just found this thread, and when I saw the Flapjack link in Merlin's initial post I immediately thought he was talking about a re-release of this:





Was one of the first kits I ever had as a kid, and thought it was so cool. Don't know whatever happened to it, but have long thought I'd love to get another one--just for the nostalgia.

My wish list is fairly simple.
In 1/48
Up to date styrene P-47C
New tool P-40B/C
Boeing P-26
In any scale, styrene Boeing model 314.

I would like to be able to afford more kits, and have more time to build them.

I have three at the top of my list all in 1/48 scale.

B-17
B-24
Avro Lancaster

I can't believe they did a 1/32 scale one first.

Cheers Rob.

Civil aircraft of the Golden Age.

1920 to 1939. There are plenty of subjects and multitudes of colour schemes and markings.

1/144 Embraer E-190


Welsh Models

Also, Revell has announced a 195 for this year; chopping it down would be fairly trivial.

what about a 1/48 scale Wright Flyer?

Why don't we have the first aircraft, or at least the aircraft nominated as being the first, on the modelling market?
