A 1/48 Mi-8 Hip and Ka-52 Hokum.

 

I would buy those in a heartbeat!

More TOONS, cars or planes are good, no very good!

Fun thread with some great suggestions. For what it's worth, here's mine. In 35th, lots more allied military figures from 1939/40. More British soft skins, particularly the Morris line of vehicles. In 1/48 injection molded, the Lockheed Electra, Ford Tri Motor, Boeing 247, Junkers Ju W33 and Ju 86.

Plus........ an entire re-release of the Aurora catalogue, in particular their figures.

Cheers

oooohhhh!  I'd LOVE to do a Lao Che Air Freight Ford Trimotor In 1/48

 

 

 

 

 

 

i thought about trying it with the weird "box scale" or whatever it is (1/77, I think....) kit from Revell, but I started that thing on my return to the hobby, so I butchered that thing.  Bad....lol

This site is always kinda interesting.  You can get the B-26 & He-111 for 106

Unfortunately it's not the kit with the Flak Bait decals.  I built it once, but my skills have far improved since then, and I would like to do it justice.

Maybe it's because the Trumpeter 1/32 A-6E Intruder is on my bench, along with a parallel build of Revell's 1/48 Intruder (which, by the way, is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get the clear sprue for!), and I know there is a HobbyBoss kit and a Kinetic kit....but I'd like to see Tamiya put out an intruder in 1/48 scale.  I think it would tie in perfectly with their Tomcat and recently released Phantom!

 

That's a good one !!

I found 3 view drawings to the H-43.  It does not look to complicated to do a scratch build, so that has gone on my project list. 

Also, for kits I am longing for, I'd like to see a good 1:72 Ford Trimotor.  The Monogram is not quite 72 scale, and resin engines do not look right with it.  The airfix version has trouble with the struts that hold the two outboard engines.  Trying to get them trimmed right was like leveling the legs of a stool, and I could never get the engines pointed straight ahead.

...The early and late B-26 had differing wing incidence as well as span, so a separate fuselage center section would be the minimum to properly accommodate all versions.  Did the fin height also change?  I might just be confused.

I can imagine people might want an early Midway or an RAF version, as these are not availble in 1/48.

I have been waiting for years for a decent Ford TriMotor kit in 1:72 scale.  The only two kits I know of are the Airfix kit and the Monogram kit.  The Monogram kit is not 1:72 scale and resin 1:72 engines look funny on it.  The Airfix kit has engine mounting issues- the struts provided do not mount the engines at the right angle, and it is so hard to alter the struts- sort of like cutting back on legs of a stool!

Baron,

A new B-26 in 1/48, that includes parts to make both the early version and the later ones, so, include the short wings, the different cowl, tail gunner configuration, vertical stabilizer, etc.  Is it impractical, and likely to be expensive and probably not recoup the costs?  Maybe.  But we can wish.

YES!!!  I totally agree with you Keyda81 about the need for a newly tooled 1/48 B-26 Marauder kit.  ICM  has done the A-26 Invader & Accurate Minitatures did the B-25 so it's the Marauder's & Havoc's turn.  I presently have the B-26 Monogram and an ESCI kit in the stash but they both require a ton of work.  This important bomber needs to be recognized and kitted again.

   Hi Stuk, long time no see THANK YOU for the links to thise pix. Brings back some memories. (Side bar) Spanky was a shipmate that died after a PFT run.

A new 1/48 B-26 Marauder, with decals for Flak Bait.  I think the only offering is the old Monogram, and right now people are asking an insane amount for them, and I highly doubt the decals are even usable.  They are listed on evil bay for 75 bucks and up.  Just can't bring myself to pay that much.

 

Yeah, the B-26 is much more sexy than a lot of other medium bombers.  And Flak Bait is a strong sell to me.  Sadly, a new tool kit would probably cost $75 or more.  But at least it would hopefully offer a better fit.

If anyone, Clear Prop! or Modelsvit are my votes for most likely to produce an injection kit of the P-75.  Heh heh, or Trumpeter/Hobby Boss will do it, but they will mix-n-match details even more than the real thing!  

I seem to recall the USAFM has one in their collection.

And stupid wish- an injection molded 1/48th Fisher P-75 Eagle...

There is a resin kit available- it's just that I don't want to spend that much for such a butt-ugly abomination of an aircraft. I think I'd buy a cheaper one to set on a table and get people ask me if I scratchbuilt the thing out of the collection of spare parts I had in the left-over drawer...

Wishes are lovely. But 99.99% of the things listed are thoroughly impractical, would never sell, and bankrupt any company that did release them. If you're so sure they're 'licenses to print money', bankroll them yourself. It's a sure thing, right? Pretty easy to wish with other people's money, after all.... 

That's the great thing about wishes, they are completely free.  This thread is not a demand list to any manufacturer, nor has anybody said as much.  This is the adult equivalent of looking at the Christmas toy catalogs that used to arrive in the mail.

I would point out that there have been countless releases of obscure one-off vehicles over the years from Dragon, Tamiya, Trumpeter, Meng, Takom, etc.  This has obviously not bankrupted them as they continue to do so.   The subjects are obviously intriguing someone who is in turn buying them.

Let's see, girls carrying donuts.  With your luck they would end up looking like Homer Simpson.

Theose crabs are on Bikini Atol, so they should still be somewhat radioactive, perfect for a Japanese movie.  Wait we already did one about giant crabs on a island.

 

Actually I look more like Dale Gribble...

And radioactive giant coconut crabs with chainsaws- that's even better! Thanks Ikar!

And I'll second a new 1/48th A-20 Havoc! And on that subject I'd actually like see some more 1/48th Japanese bombers too other than just the 'Betty' and 'Sally'.

Another one that I'd really like to see is a new mold A-20 Havoc.  When ICM put out the A-26 Invader, I was really hoping they'd put out a Havoc at some point.  Now with the invasion, I'm not going to hold out much hope that it will ever happen.

Here's one for a ship:  A 1/350th carrier Wolverine...and maybe the ship it was built from.  That way I could get rid of my 1/700th scale Wolverine.  I have learned that 1/700th is just a bit too small for me and although this has its own PE set and good resin hull, I can't do it.  Right now it's more of a piece of proof that it really did exist than a kit I'll build someday.
