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

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.

MY dad flew planes of the DC-9 series, until the 717 for 21 years (just got layed off from Midwest a few weeks ago) so I'd like to see some more stuff with a DC-9 and a 717. They've got an MD-80, but it's a pain in the rear to convert it.

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.

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.

Well this thread has gotten me thinking of old times. I grew up around the airlines and airliners, TWA to be exact. My dad was in ground crew and later lead man in stores at LAX so I went up to their hangar often. I remember as a kid building smale scale kits of the then current jetliners 707s, 880s, the upcoming 747 and Boeing SST... I would love to see some of those kits again for nostalgias sake. No idea which company made them. I just remember they were in the markings of the big US flagged Airlines of the late 60s early 70s, TWA, Pan Am, American.

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

In fact, the whole propliner world is basically non-existant at that scale. DC-4,7. Viscount, Electra, Britannia, 440, any one in a new IM kit would make my day!

I'd love to see a nice 1/48 or 1/32 scale Beech 18, or any older Cessna or Piper light aircraft, also in 1/32. 'Love to see a quality Stearman in either of those scales too. (can you say '50's cropduster or airshow version?)

A Sky King Cessna 310 to go along with the Czech Model new release. A 1/48 Gulfstream 1 or any other of the present day types. A Falcon 10 in Coast Guard markings or any other series od the Dassault Falcon. A 1/48 Beech Staggerwing and a whole lot more of the older types.

Hello all, I have been lurking for a while and got excited when I saw the new forum section so I just had to jump in. I thought I would ask what civilian models you would like to see.

 For myself I would like to see larger scale single engine airplanes. A Beechcraft Bonanza or ground-loving Cessna in 1/24 scale. It would be nice to make a diorama with your favorite car and light plane together.  I know that many civilian airplanes are available in 1/48 but they are too small for me. Manufacturers are making warbirds in the larger scales so who knows what the future holds.
