Friendly survey - What 1/48 aircraft kits would you like to be newly tooled?

A Spitfire XII. A companion kit could provide a Seafire XV.

Never gonna happen though...

1/48 CAC Boomerang DH 88 Comet racer Heinkel He 119 Heinkel He 70 Lockheed AH-64 Cheyenne Lockheed 9 Orion Lockheed Vega PV-1 Ventura Martin AM Mauler McDonnell XP-67 Moonbat Mitsubishi F1M Pete NA X-20 Dyna Soar North American F-82G North American F-86H Northrop A-17 Northrop BT-1 Northrop Gamma Northrop N3PB SAAB Draken Vultee Vengence

Not that I've given it much thought...

Not too much

I would like to see some of the development types:

Douglas B-19 Boeing B-15

Tony

To go with your collection of 1/72nd scale Zeppelins, no doubt?

My gawd, where would you PUT a 1/48th scale B-19?

Cheers,

Very nice list. I totally agree, but i'd add a Hawker Hart.

Martin PB2M Mars - just kidding.

But seriously... somewhat

PBM Mariner PB2Y Coronado AM Mauler B-17D and earlier B-10 or export version, e.g. Dutch versions in SEA during WWII B-50 Keystone Bombers Navy Curtiss Small/Large Americas Flying Boats from Dubya-Dubya-One Grumman Duck Grumman Albatross Grumman Goose Lockheed Hudson Lockheed Electra Lockheed Ventura Lockheed Constellation (mil, civ - doesn't matter) S2F Tracker and COD versions E-2 Hawkeye and COD versions Douglas DC-4 Fairchild C-123 Provider S*k*rsky H-57 S*k*rsky H-34 (wouldn't hurt my feelings to get that in 1/35 either. I love this chopper!) Vought A-7 Corsair II PT-17 (another great big scale 1/32 candidate too) Piper J-3 Cub (ditto on 1/32) X-Planes - X-1 thru X-15 and beyond Curtiss SC Seahawk

and

the Curtiss (SO3C?) Seamew - for those days when I need to upchuck but can't ;-)

Just off the top of my head...

Airacobra, but then I also want it in 1/32 and 1/24.

All of the early B-17's !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lindberg already makes a more than decent 1/48th scale PT-17.

The mold is ancient but the kit is pretty accurate in outline and dimensions and goes together fairly nicely.

As befits a kit of that age, the detailing is pretty basic but scratch-built details can be added easily enough if that's your thing.

There's not a lot in a PT-17 cockpit after all.

Cheers,

How about an Antonov AN-225 or a C5 Galaxy (:>

I'll take the A-6 (all variants), AD Skyraider (Korean War era versions), UH/MH/HH-60, F-105, and the F-111 family (including a what-if F-111B production example).

Got one - want better. Thx.

WmB

i really want an injection kit of the me 321. the vac is too rare. i have just enough living room cieling for it and a

111-z.

T-34B Mentor T-2C Buckeye TA-4J Skyhawk

All long overdue.

=== None specifically. I would be more than happy if they would replace the damaged worn out molds with new ones (or at least fix the old ones) when they reissue an old model. Case in point is the Revell B-29. The front glass canopy has been worn down to the point that you can barely make out the alum frame. Some years back they (Revell) sent me three of the same with the same problem after I complained, but to no avail since the problem is a worn out mold.

Re the 1/48 kits I'd like to see.

I agree on the re-tooling of the Revell-Monogram bombers (B-17F/G, B-24D/H/J/M). That said, I'd like Hasegawa or Tamiya to do them given that they do a better job on the detailing. Other's I'd like to see - mostly from the Vietnam era - by Hasegawa/Tamiya (in no particular order)

A-26K (B-26K? Vietnam era attack aircraft) A-37 C-47 (WWII and Vietnam variants - there were some changes) CH/HH-3 helicopter (Was one ever made in 1/48?) CH/HH-53 DC-3 (with the correct landing gear) F-100D/F F-105D/F/G H-34 (R)B-57D/F/G T-28D O-1 O-2 OV-10

Ed

- A Yak-9 that's up to the standards of the Yak-1 and -3 from AM and Eduard

- Viggen

- F-101

- MiG-17 and MiG-19

- Do-17 (Hobbycraft is terrible)

- Beechcraft Staggerwing

Can we please have decent versions of those last two in 1/72 as well?

Pretty please?
