Which model do you want produced?

How about a 1/48 2.5 ton U.S. refueling truck with a hardtop (instead of the canvas top one they have now in 1/35)? Also, in agreement with Don Stauffer, a REAL DC-3 (not converted from a C-47) and a Ford Trimotor both in 1/48. 

Hopefully all three could be less than about $40. each?

Some years ago there was a Group Build called "Before they were aces". That would have been a good subject.

Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny. Maybe if I say it enough times some manufacturer will notice.

A decent DC-3 model in 1:72 (not a warmed over C-47).  Also Ford Tri-motor in same scale.  Only two Ford models I know of are junk.

How about this !

 They can produce more of the light-skins and at an affordable price .Those are my criteria ! T.B.

While we're wishing, I'm always trying  to find the SAC version of the F-111 which had longer wings than the standard version. There are several nice 1/48 F-111 kits and it would just be a variation of those. I'm still researching.

Hmmm;

 Such a question . Well here goes

1- A good 1/350 AKA and APA .How about this for number two

 2 - T-2-Class oilers from WW2

 3 Any ammunition ships and reefers from the same time in 1/350

4 This is a hard one .Does anyone remember the Shell Welder ? How about a 1/350 ship if this class , both as an oiler and a dry goods freghter for the Navy Also in 1/350

I guess that's it for me .  T.B.

 

Good one,my father served on AKA-91 USS Whitley,I would like to build that one.

Same old same old if it doesn't have guns it doesn't sell

Actually the Model Airways/Model Expo kit doesn't come with covering material. It's intended to be completed as the uncovered "skeleton" of the airplane. (The modelers could cover it, but to my notion that would be a crazy thing to do.)

I checked out the Round2 website the other day. It's not well organized, but I couldn't find the Jenny on it. I think Round2 makes short production runs, and may or may not produce another batch after the first one sells out. (The Sea Witch is gone too, along with the Lifelike/Lindberg/Inpact Flycatcher. The good news is that Round2 says it's bringing out a 2 pack containing the Flycatcher and the Hawker Fury.)

I remember the Sterling kit. Comet also made a balsa-and-tissue Jenny, and I imagine Cleveland Models had one. That old Lindberg Jenny wasn't a bad kit by any means. (Aurora and Renwal also had 1/48 ones.) But imagine what a 1/32 Jenny from Wingnut, or a 1/48 one from Eduard. Or, for that matter, a 1/24 one from Merit.

You know John, the JN was a Model Airways kit, laser cut and tissue.Sterling made a stick and tissue.But best of all, the Lindberg 1/48 kit is released again by Round 2.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the world needs a good, modern Curtiss JN-4 Jenny. Now that the old Lindberg 1/48 kit is gone, there is, so far as I can tell, NO styrene Jenny, in any scale, on the market. The only Jenny kit I know of is the 1/16 one from Model Airways, which looks superb if you happen to have (a) several hundred dollars to spare, and (b) room to put it.

My preference would be a Wingnut Wings kit on 1/32, but any Jenny would make me happy.

Think of the possibilities: WWI trainer, Canadian bush beater, barnstormer,.... 

Thinking helicopters:  1/48 AH-1G (Vietnam version), OH-6, OH-57A and D versions,  AH-56 Cheyenne, I'll second the Huskie,

Fixed wing:  1/48 Banshee and Phantom I, F9F Cougar, Korean War vintage Skyraider,

I wouldn't mind a Piper J3C-65, an Aeronca 7AC or a Beech Stagger Wing in either 1/32 or 1/24 scale (preferably in the latter scale). 

And a question - why can't the Revell 1/72 C-54 be converted into a VC-54C?  Every thing I've seen so far is that they made it as indistinguishable from from other C-54s as they could.  You would need to find out the markings (particularly the tail number) and determine exactly where to scribe the doors for the wheel chair lift.

I'm praying for years for a new-tool P-36/H75 Hawk in 1/48. As I've already wrote somewhere, this is an aircraft deserves for a decent miniature! Hawk was a plane which took part on every war theatre and used by so many air forces, with different engine version, and with different undercarriage - what a great field for many kit versions, and with many decal options!

Would really like to see a 1/48 plastic, Ryan PT-22 or larger, before I die.

 

Would this help?

I would like to see an even bigger PT-22, 1:32!  Our local Commemorative Air Force has one that is beautiful, with the aluminum fuselage all polished. I do plan to do a 1:32 scratch version if no one does a kit before I start, but a kit would be nice, especially for that aircooled radial which sticks out there, real visible, and will be a bear to scratch.  I don't think that is available in a resin aftermarket item.

Hello

 

What military model do you want Tamiya to produce next/ in the future?

 

Thank you

 

So what would you like to see them put out next  ?

The kits that I have the hardest time to find, are car kits.  I was wanting to build a new car.  The best I could do was a 2014 Mustang, which is now the old generation.  Where are the 2015's, 2016's?  Corvettes, Camaros,  Challengers, Chargers are all using the same bodies.  Change a few interior parts, new motor, rebox, and you have a 2016.  Aaah the olden days when you had to choose which kind to buy.

USS Paricutin, AE-18. Amunition ship. That would be awesome to have in my collection.

Just about anything Coast Guard.

Don't know how I forgot about the Serenity, must be getting old.

As far as Pedro goes that kit came out from Hawk back in the late 60s and is pretty basic.  The front glass doesn't fit well, there's no jungle penetrator, the interior is almost non-existant, and there's several other things that need to be added.  It's a good thing Cobra came out with hte set for it.  It doesn't cover everything, but it certainly helps.

It would be nice to have a new one in the other scales.
