                        A month back or so FSM asked what kit you would like to see the model companies produce. I know they can't list them all in the magazine so let's hear it!

                        Since I'm a dirt track racing fan it would be a 1/24scale dirt track late model stock car. Big Smile [:D]

                        How 'bout a good quality kit of the Bell P-59 Airacomet in 1/72 scale, i.e., not something that I have to half sculpt with Squadron putty to make it presentable. As long as I'm on obscure WWII Bell A/Cs, how about the Airabonita, the tail-dragging version of the P-39 that the Navy briefly flirted with for carrier use. I think it got as far as the prototype stage.

                        As long as I'm fantasising, I wouldn't mind seeing a Martin-Baker MB-5 in 1/72 in a good, Hasegawa/Tamiya-quality kit. That was one of the cool planes of WWII that never got into production. There's a guy out west who's built a full-size replica. Sssssssmokin'!!!

                        I would absolutely love to see a piagio P.180 Avanti in injection form in !/48 scale.

                        This aircraft is drop dead gorgeous and it would be a shame not to represent it in the plastic modeling hobby.

                        We need a few more civilian aircraft options in the aviation end of the hobby anyway.

                        I know that the FSM survey stated 'no reissues', and you probably mean the same thing here, but I just can't resist.

                        I would like to see Revell AG reissue the 1/144 Boeing 767-300. It's a big hole in this scale.

                        How about a 1/72 scale B-58 Hustler? As a kid, I built the 1/144 Revell issue of this plane, and I recently completed the 1/144 Academy issue. It's just a cool plane - it even looks neat parked at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio.

                        Have you tried tracking down the Italeri 1/72 B-58 kits?

                        They're probably well out of production, but if you do some checking around in classified ads you might find one.

                        I don't know much about the kits as I never build one of them, but there was a B-58 A and a TB-58 training version released.

                        Good luck if you try to find one

                        upnorth,
                        I didn't know about the Italieri B-58 - I'll look around for it on eBay and through collectors. Thanks for the tip!

                        I'm looking tor two - in the past Revell-o-Gram did such a nice job duplicating some of their 1/48 "Century Series" aircraft into 1/72 scale. The exceptions are the F-102 and F-106. Would very much like to see the old Hasegawa issues replaced by these!

                        Revell-Monogram released a very well publicised PBY-5 into their Promodeler range about 5 years ago, I believe they followed it up with a PBY-5A not long after.

                        By all accounts (including an FSM kit review) it was a great kit that was in need of very little aftermarket add ons.

                        Its been a while since I've seen either kit on hobby store shelves, but I can't see a reason why it wouldnt be re-issued somewhere down the road.

                        There were also at least a couple of aftermarket resin conversion sets made for it by the Canadian firm, Belcher Bits.

                        I'm sure those 1/48 cats are out there for you to find somewhere

                        Good luck!

                        Most of my "wish list" contains USAAC/USN between-the-war aircraft:
                        1/72 B-18A Bolo
                        1/72 J2F Duck (early version, e.g, -2)
                        1/72 new-tool A-20A

                        Of course if Siga (or anyone else) wanted to throw in that once-announced Grumman Guardian, I wouldn't complain a bit!

                        I'd like to see compatible scale models of the Boeing X-70 Valkyrie and the Tupolev TU-144 to compare and contrast the two jets... and the near-obvious Soviet (um) parallel "research" between the two jets.

                        A whole entire line devoted to WWI. I think the Model companies forgot about a little thing from 1914-1918 that in just a 4 year period displays some of the best acceleration in armored vehicle advancement than any other war.

                        Trumpeter, are you listening? I would like to see the following subjects. You are the only company that I think would do this...

                        1. 1/72 Gato or Balao class fleet submarine with the same quality as the Amati U-Boat. One that I wont spend the next four years working on. Big Smile [:D]

                        2. 1/48 scale 78' Elco PT Boat, and late model 80' Elco PT Boat. Same as above. I don't want to end up with the same effort as I've made on my Bluejacket kit. I need a break! These are great subjects because of the kit bashing possibilities.

                        3. 1/24 scale F4U-1 or F4U-1A.

                        I'm counting on you Trumpeter!

                        1/144 B-1A. I've seen a pre-production B-1 in this scale but not the production model.

                        Being a true Vietnam buff and wanting so bad to own one myself, I would love to see an injection molded 1/32 scale A-1H Skyraider. The predecessor to the plane that I currently work on for the AF and one fine sounding machine. Saw my first one up close and personal at OshKosh and absolutely fell even more in love with it!

                        Dead right, Edgar!
                        I'd like to build both and see. Been wanting to build the Valkyrie ever since the day I saw the Valkyrie - Starfighter collision and the resulting crash on 'Wings'.

                        Add the B-1 to the list. Me thinks that a lot of inspiration for that beautiful bomber came from the XB-70.

                        What say you?
