Tell us about your fantasy kit - subject , scale , manufacturer , features etc.
Since this is wishing , let's keep it to subjects that are not currently produced .
( no 1/32 Mustangs , Spits etc - we already have those in spades )

As this is Aeroscale I suppose we should keep it to aircraft at the moment unless the Aeroscale family feels differently.

Come on dreamers ! Richard

Wellll....for continuity, all LSP (Large Scale Planes) in 1/32 to be retooled and produced in the dominate military scale of 1/35. At least the most common ones first. I think MRC has done this with some helicopters, and there was a resin 1/35 Bf 109 released a decade or so ago.

Barring that and being a P-40 and Pacific War fan, and getting old, I would like to see a 1/24 P-40 family and more Japanese subjects in 1/24.

Who would like to see a 1/24 P-39 , SBD, Avenger, and - wait for it... - O2U Kingfisher?

ME!!!!

Considering how well served we are in the subjects I can imagine ever getting around to building; I really don't have any.

For me 1/32 Or 1/24 aircraft are the wretched excess of cloud cuckoo land already. For me it is complete and utter fantasy that is beyond any want, need or even desire I could have. I just dont have a house big enough for the box, let alone a built kit.

If anything my fantasy would involve most manufacturers cutting their prices to 1990s levels. Sorry but $28 for a single engine World War II fighter is too much for me. I'm getting cheap in my advancing years.

Maybe some 1/32, 1/24, even 1/12 scale cockpits and partial fuselages for various large scale pilot figures. That I could Fit on the workbench and shelf.

A 1/48 scale A400M would do nicely.

And indeed, 1/35 scale planes going together with the rolling equipment would be atreat

I'd like to see someone churn out a 1/72 Douglas C-117D Super Gooney. They served the Navy and Marine Corps for many years and yet, the only option is the old vac-form conversion.

For about 15 years, up until December 2017, my all-time fantasy kit was a 1/32 scale Sopwith Dolphin, but Wingnut Wings filled that order nicely so I will die a very happy modeler. Not wanting to be "too greedy" though, I have a few other large scale types that would be nice too see done by specific manufacturers, in no particular order:

1. A Breuget 14A2 by WnW
2. A Camproni C A2 by WnW
3. A Hanroit HD 1 by WnW
4. I personally think we have plenty of WWII types, but one that has really gone neglected is a new-tooled large scale F4F Hellcat. The Hasegawa one is long in the tooth, and the Trumpeter one is badly deformed, so if Hasegawa or Tamiya would release a new tool one, that would be great.
5. A large scale F-102 or F-106 (or both) would also be a sight to behold.

I agree with Stephen above about the sections of large scale fuselage or cockpits too--or even turrets and gun positions which would be fantastic. What we have now is woefully underserved. I had to resort to drastic measures to obtain something for my aviation figure collection:

One of my wishes is about to be granted this summer with FineMolds releasing a Babs in 1/48 .

Even though I build aircraft in 1/48 predominantly , I would love to see Tamiya do what they do so well in 1/32 - a state of the art Hayabusa accurate in shape and detail. Seems like a no brainier to me - it was second only to the Zero in numbers produced ( something over 5,000 vs 10,000 + for the Zero IIRC) - and it was more familiar to most Japanese during the war than the Zero.

And for real fantasy a state of the art large scale ( 1/24 ?) Waco YMF - my absolute favorite!

Keep em coming- this is fun ! Richard

1/48 B-17!

Cheers Rob.

Howdy,

1/32 Pfalz D-VIII or an accurate P-51B.

Brian Riedel

1/32 SPAD XIII
State of the art 1/32 P-38 Lightning
State of the art 1/32 P-51B (I know you said no Mustangs, but what we really have is a lot of Ds, not so many earlier ones.)
State of the art 1/32 Hurricane

I'm sure I have about 20 more I can't think of right now, but those'll do to be getting on with.

Michael

1/72 de Havilland Venom FB.4

Richard,
Thanks for this opportunity to dream once again.
Aircraft while molded by Monogram a million years ago, a state of the art:
1/48 scale OS2U Kingfisher.
1/72 scale HU-16 Albatross

Race cars:
I'd kill for and die a happy man if someone came out with a 1/24 or 1/20, and a 1/12 scale 1967 Gurney Eagle. And the same for a Porsche 908/3.

Joel

A mainstream 1/48 scale Sunderland MkV (or III) that's reasonably priced .... yeah I know something that big and reasonably priced don't go together but hey we're dreaming!!!!

Oh .... and a state of the art 1/48 He115 again reasonably priced .... yeah yeah I know I'm getting more and more like my Scottish ancestors .... short arms long pockets.

Buccaneer S.1 and S.2B in 1/72 with a good selection of stores (Martel, Sea Eagle, thousand pounders, ALQ119, Pave Spike and Paveway etc). I know someone did a resin kit a few years back but we are way overdue for a mainstream plastic. Come on Airfix!

I would love to see the following between the wars a/c (these are jut the US a/c) my short list in 1/48 scale:

Douglas T2D
Douglas DT
Douglas Y1B-7
Douglas C-1
Douglas O-43
Keystone B-3
Keystone B-4
Keystone B-5
Keystone B-6
Martin T3M
Martin T4M
Martin MO
Naval Aircraft Factory TS
Northrop BT
Vought VE-7
Vultee V-1
North American BT-9
Grumman FF
Fokker PW-5
Consolidated P2Y
Consolidated P-30
Boeing NB
Berliner-Joyce P-16
Curtiss A-8
Curtiss A-12 Shrike

Bob

WNW - 1/32 SPAD VII & XIII and Nieuport 11 & 17...oh and a Dr1 Triplane.

Tamiya - 1/32 BAC Lightning F6 (I know, this WILL always be fantasy)

Tamiya 1/48 SR-71

Gary

Bob-- actually the A-12 has been done by Special Hobby in 1/48, and the FF too, but I think in 1/72. But I agree, these are sorely missing.
VR, Russ

Russ, if you know where I can get an A12 let me know.

bob

A newly tooled PBY Catalina family in 1/72. I don't recall the last time I saw the Academy kit and the Airfix example should have been retired decades ago.

Sci-fi, would love a good sized of the Normandy SR-1 from the game Mass Effect. A beautifully designed starship.
And some ships from Babylon 5 like the Earth Alliance Cruiser, Destroyer and a Minbari Battlecruiser and Whitestar. The latter would be a challenge to airbrush!

Some great models still desired so it seems.
I would like to see in 1/32:
Dornier Do17(come on Revell, you gave us a Ju-88 and He 111)
Caprioni Ca3, though I don't think WnW will deviate from their Anglo/German focus, so why not a
Handley Page HP O/400,

But mainly I would like to see Hong Kong models get their Lancaster out to the market.

cheers
Michael

I'd love to have many on the 'tween wars list, but my MOST wanted is a FE2B fighter in 1/72 scale

RU-8D, RU-21, JH-1H Left Bank
.- ... .-

Bob-- sent you a PM, but the short answer is I think Skyway Models in Seattle has at least one in stock. I'll get you the phone number.
VR, Russ

The one I cannot get without shelling out a more dollars than I'm willing to spend.. ..

1972 Ford Pinto fastback style, not the hatchback version.... hoping it will someday be re-released....
