Sikorsky HH52A in 1/48th scale. Exactly what I want only in 72nd. Ok, other than know it is a helicopter, I would have to google it to see which one but I know what you mean. There are several aircraft, helicopter, armor, patrol boat, etc kits on my most wanted list.
I know they have a different mag for Autophiles and that Sci Fi gets the black hole treatment but if FSM is presenting their findings to Industry as an example of what a small part of the modeling community wants, to not show the Industry that there is a desire for certain kits just doesn't cut it. The new FineMolds Falcon gets released tomorrow and there are so many preorders for that it is ridiculous, especially at $190 a pop. The Polar Lights 1/350th Refit Enterprise has been another popular kit as have their 1/1000 kits but PL is gone. How do we convince RC to keep the Star Trek liscense and make some more new kits like the 1/350 original Enterprise or more of the 1/1000 scale kits. Statistics is how which is one of the purposes of this survey. The article did mention that there was a lot of interest in Star Trek kits even though there are no new shows like that was a surprise. Trek has been going for 40 years. The ships from Battlestar Galactica would sell well as would a decent sized model of Serenity from the movie and Firefly TV show. Heck, there are so many fans of this movie/series that any kit of the ship or figures would sell well and many of these have probably never built a model in their lives.
All I am saying in my long winded way is that if they had a list of the top 5 vote getting sci fi pieces, maybe one of the larger manufacturers would say "lets get that license and take a shot". Then again, maybe not but would be nice to see.
Ok, rant off, I will go quietly back to my bench....
