I like to see a newly tooled Super Connie in 1/72 scale with recessed panel lines and a very extensive pe set for it.

How bout a Beechcraft 1900, King Air or a Baron all in at least 1/48?

Well, heres my list all new and 1/144 without molded in windows kkthx:

DC 10-30

L1011

The 707 family except the 320, 320b/c

732

742f, 743

A300 b4 600

And I guess a A330

All in 1/72

I'd like a DC 4 and DC 7 to go with the Heller DC 6

A new kit of the Beech 18 / C-45

Beech King Air

Beech Baron

Some crop dusters, Air tractor, turbine thrush, Ag cat etc.

That should be a good start.

I'd love to see a Falcon 20, King Air 200, Lear 31, and maybe a Baron 58, all in 1/48.

For 1/144, an injected  737-200, Convair 240, EMB-120, DHC-8, DHC-7, Beech 1900C, and 717. Most of these are already available in vac and/or resin, but I really don't look forward to beating a Sasquatch Convair 240 into submission.

BTW, Welsh has just released a vac/resin C-46 in 1/144. 

Ben

1/32 or 1/24

Aeronca 7AC, Cessna 120/140, Cessna Cardinal, Forney Ercoupe, Taylorcraft Model B, Bellanca 14-19 Cruisemaster, Bellanca Citabria, Luscombe 8A, Helio Courier MK II, Culver V, Waco UPF-7, Bucker 133 Jungmeister.

1/144, 1/100, or 1/72

Boeing 737-200, Martin 4-0-4, Vickers Viking 1B.

Let's see, in 1/48, I would love to have a Piper Warrior or other modern Cherokee, a Spartan 7W Executive, and a good Beech 18... the $70 offering from Battle Axe hardly even counts as a kit.

Extratech makes a very nice PE set in 1/72 for the 1049.

Additions to Oldhookers 1/32-1/24 list:

Waco UPF-7 (or about any Waco bipe), any Howard DGA, J-3 Cub, PA18-150 Super Cub, Piper PA25 Pawnee, Cessna Agwagon/Agtruck

In 1/72 it's real easy:

Brooklands/Edgely Optica

Piaggio P.180 Avanti

Handley Page/BAe Jetstream series

DeHavilland Canada DHC-7 "Dash 7" and DHC-8 "Dash 8"

I know the Optica and Avanti have been out there in resin and I don't expect the Optica to ever be available in any other medium despite recent attempts to revive production of the type. I would have though that Italeri or Revell Germany would have furnished us with an injection molded Avanti by now though.

Airfix hada couple of militarized Jetsteam kits in 1/72 years ago so it would be nice to see them revisit the type with today's tooling technology.

I once tried to build Hobbycraft's 1/72 Dash 8, but I'll be happy if I never see that kit again.

I grew up watching Dash 7, Dash 8 and Jetstream 31  types coming and going from my hometown's municipal airport and would lave to have good representations of them in 1/72

In 1/144:

A really good long pod 737-200 would be great. It's another type I saw a lot of growing up. if it could come with a Canadian specific decal sheet with Pacific Western, CP Air and Canadian Airlines marking options, so much the better. I still maintain the white over polished metal scheme with two tone blue trim of Pacific Western was one of the most attractive schemes ever put to an airliner IMHO.

Back when they weren't afraid of colour on airliners! 

Beechjet 400A/Diamond in 1/48th

C-141 in 1/144

B757/200ER  in 1/144

B767/300ER in 1/144

Well, for me a short list (all in 1/48 please):

King Air

Twin Otter

Beech 18

Cessna 310

Piper Navajo

Cessna 195

I've got LOTS more, but I'll leave it a that for now. I'd love to see things like a DC-4 or DC-7, or even a B.737 in 1/48, but the condition of my wallet and space needed would put those out of reach.

Civilian jumpships. The bigger scale the better.

Cessna's 182, 185, 206U, Caravan

Twin Otter 300

Shorts Skyvan

King Air

Casa

Dang, I can't believe I forgot to add the PC-6 Turbo Porter!!!

Another vote for a 48th Connie.

I tend to prefer 1/72 scale, and I would love to see some civil aircraft made to the same level of detail as Roden's or Eduard's WWI and WWII aircraft. Naturally some Cessna and Piper single engine aircraft would be great, but I'd also like to see some of the other classic high wing monoplanes like those form Luscomb and Aeronca. I'd also love to see some of the new GA planes like those Cirrus and Diamond. Naturally, these models should have detailed engines and interiors with the option of good PE sets for some of the details.
