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

Anybody ever take a crack at converting Mono's C model to a Nam version?

Hasegawa did a SH, IIRC.

RoG did the UN version - G model?

YES! WE NEED THESE! ;-)

I think I've seen one of those from somebody (Fujimi in a Testors box maybe), but it might be subpar.

I'd love to see a quality Grumman S2 family, S2F, COD, Willy Fudd all in

There were a couple resin conversions for it.

Yes I definitely would go with most of your selections also. The Duck, Seamew & Hudson are available. Building the Seamew right now.

Best,

Hawk made an OV-10. That's probably what you saw in a Testors box.

AP-2H. I'd like to see it first-time tooled in injection-molding in 1/48.

And a Spruce Goose........;)

i was serious. there are 1/48 ju 88's, how mucj bigger would a 188 be.? and the ju 86 was smaller, i believe. think of how cool a condor legion 86 would be with a guy hanging over the dustbin with a row of mg holes stitched across. and a rata flying cross beam.

Who made a 1/48 Me 321? Who makes a 1/48 He 111Z?

both were vac, i don't know the makers. call the hobbytown in vegas for more info.

I would like to see the Sukhoi Su-34/32FN Platypus/Fullback . Its as awesome aircraft ! Only available in 1/72 :(

And I was being silly. The 1/200th kit made for a somewhat largish model. 1/48th would just be too outlandish

Not a lot.

and the ju 86 was smaller, i believe.

I don't think so based on once owning a Supermodel kit in 1/72. That thing was much longer and wider than an 88.

That sounds good but it would take up considerable space when finished. OTOH you could use a 1/72 Rata and force the perspective.

Outside of dabbling now and again in 1/48th I stayed with 1/72 almost exclusively from 1964 'til now. The size just always seemed right just as HO always looked 'right' for trains.

BTW, the movie was great. There was some disturbances in the soundtrack during the opening credits but that disappeared and everything was great. I enjoyed the movie too much to pick at the dialogue this time - maybe on the next viewing. ;)

i'm still looking for a vhs copy for you. glad it was ok. i would hang the 86 dio...too big anywhere else.

There already are Ju-188s in 1:48 scale. Dragon does an A and an E version. (I don't think they are in current production, but you can still find them around...) I'd love to see an He-115. Ju-86 is a good one, too. Others I always cast a vote for in the polls: Martin B-10 and Douglas B-18. The B-23 would be good, too. And more Japanese twin-engined bombers. As cool as a 1:48 B-15 and B-19 would be, that's a might bit too big.

Eduard needs to do a the Salmson 2A2. It's far too important a plane to leave unmodelled.

I think that you can get a 1/72 pegasus kit, maybe merlin. There aren't any Salmsons in 1/48th injection molded, maybe not even resin or vac!

Why wouldn't Eduard do it in 1/48 and in 1/72 like they did with the Sopwiths and DH-2?

Please!!
