I'd like a decent 1/72 scale B-32 Dominator.
Y1-B-17.
Boeing B-9.
Douglas B-7 (though there was a excellent vac kit many years ago).
Ditto on the yb17 and would like a xp38.

Regarding the Hu-16, Trumpeter did one recently In 1/48.

I'd like to see these kits in 1/72 scale: Boeing Model 299 (Flying Fortress prototype), YB or Y1B-17 Flying Fortress, B-32 Dominator, and XB or YB-52 Stratofortress.
I'd like to see these kits in 1/48 scale: Boeing Model 299, B-17B, B-17C/D.

Rareplanes did a vac kit of the Y1B-17 many years ago, which I converted to the 299 for a museum. It wasn't too tough of a job, and there is an excellent resource in the Detail & Scale book on the Fortress. Lots of good close-up photos to work from.
Lone-Star models makes a YB-52 conversion kit. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/225589-lone-star-models-lsm70354-xb-52-yb-52-conversion
Here's a kit to make the XB-36. Only two hundred bucks! http://www.click2detail.com/store/p18/1%3A72_XB-36_Conversion_Set_%28Early%2C_With_110-Inch_Main_Tires%29.html
Very cool, Sailor Steve!!! Thanks for the reply! I found some decals a while back for a Y1B-17 in 1/72 and assumed from that that someone had made a kit or conversion at some time. That YB-52 conversion looks pretty awesome. I went to the Lone Star Models website and the price is reasonable. Interestingly they also had a replacement engine kit for the AMT 1/72 scale B-52H that look pretty good and is affordable. Guess I'm going to dig a little deeper into my already stretched modeling funds and order both. The B-36 conversion looks great, too, but is a bit out of my price range.
Adding to thte list:
XC-99
YB-40
XF-90
XF-91
T-39
C-140
this:
whatever it is.
There are resin or vac kits for every single one of those, if you're willing to learn new techniques. I doubt anyone will be willing to spend the money to make most of them. The YB-40 should be a fairly straightforward conversion.
"Whatever it is" looks like the Curtiss XP-37.
I would also like to see injection molded kits of some other favorites, including North American's B-45 Tornado (or did someone already mention that one). Also the XF-107.
There is a 1/48 resin YP-37 kit at LF Models.com.I don't know how to do links.
For years I'm yelling for a brand new 1/48 Curtiss P-36/H75 Hawk!
We have a lot of P-40s, Bf-109s, Spitfires, and the plane which is quite nice looking, with a great history and many different versions with different engines, retractable and permanent "spats" landing gear, used by nearly every air force still hasn't a good representation in this very popular scale. Isn't it a shame for model manufacturers?
I wish someone other than Glenco would produce an old B-10 bomber. I love this era of aircraft.
Of course if Tamiya or Trumpeter did it, I couldn't afford it anyway LOL.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
kits I'd like to see: (all in 1/72)
Chasing the ultimate build.

Sailor Steve I'd like a decent 1/72 scale B-32 Dominator.
I'd like to see a B-32 in 1/48th
My other aircraft wish kits are a C-46, a Fieseler Fi-167, and a B-18, all in 1/48th. I do have a project in the queue to scratch-build the Fi-167, though, but if someone brought it on the market, I'd save myself the effort.
Best regards,

Would like to see a 1/72 and 1/48th KC-130F/R/T. And a 1/48th Grumman TC-4C
On the bench: So many hanger queens.
I forgot about a 1/48 F11F, I'd like to see one of those in styrene.
seastallion53 There is a 1/48 resin YP-37 kit at LF Models.com.I don't know how to do links.
I have an old RareBits conversion kit; the YP-37 in 1/72. It's just a fuselage and canopy, designed to work with a P-36 kit. Maybe someday...
Oh, yeah. To post a link simply copy the URL from the address box at the top of the page and paste it in the box here.

Yeah, I'd like to see one, too. I know you can get a conversion kit, but it'd be nice to have a ready-to-go kit.
splitter24 Mach 2 makes an injected B-45 and Trumpeter makes an injected Ultra Sabre, both in 1/72.
And so they do! Thanks for the heads-up. Great price on the F-107. the Tornado is a bit pricey, but if you have to have one...
Ah, Lindberg makes an F-11-F 1 in 1/48th scale. And yes I am NOT serious.
I wish for Airfix to make a night fighter version of their Defiant in 1/48, with the shark mouth marking found in their 1/72 kit!
I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.
Have fun.
