Just wanted to poll people and see what would be top on your want list, for resin model kits and accessories not previously or currently being manufactured by anybody. The resin kits would be pressure cast for 100% bubble free castings with crisp clean detail.
I second that YF-17 but in 72nd XP-59...XP-80...Piper Enforcer...a real T-38(not just a warmed over F-5B).A true 1/72 Wright Flyer... All in 1/72 as the good lord intended
I can't think of anything better than a Skydiver or SKY1 except maybe a Thunderbirds 1,2,3 or 4 in a large scale that will not cost 400.00! Also must be accurate to the prop and no little tires and wheels like some of the Japanese model kits. Cheers, Max Bryant
I'd like to see a resin conversion, in 1:72 scale of course :-), of a TseTse Fly for the Tamiya Mosquito kit. Ought to be fairly easy as Tamiya molded that area of the nose as a seperate part. Put an aluminium gun barrel in there for the Molins cannon and you're good to go! I'm surprised Tamiya hasn't released this yet. Understandably they like to make various versions of the same kit that only require the use of a seperate sprue tree. Hasegawa does the same thing.
Here's some other stuff, all in 1:72 scale: OV-1 Mohawk cockpit for Hasegawa OV-10 Bronco cockpit for Hasegawa - open rear compartment for this one too. Radio gear, roof, sides, floor.
A quality F/A-18F in 1/32 or 1/48, a 1/35 FANSONG radar system, a 1/35 SA-6 conversion or kit, a Birdcage conversion kit for the 1/32 Trumpeter F4U-1D, an F.3 conversion kit for the Revell 1/32 Gr.1 Tornado, a proper
1/32 Me 109K4 cockpit kit for the Hasegawa kit, and replacement ROUND wheels/tires for any and all aircraft kits in all scales.
Used to fly NA-50 replica modified from a Harvard. As a result I have pretty good files on both the NA-50 and P-64. Let me know if you would like some research help.
How about any lightplanes in the Cessna, Piper world?
If it's to be a short-run, a Lockheed "Little Dipper", an Aero-Commander, early Stinson Station wagon or Voyager, and any, repeat, any of the better-known homebuilt designs like Rutan's Veri-EZ or Veri-Viggen, or the Long-EZ. All in
1:48 owing to size constraints to put in a cockpit interior and detail. (although I'd still get off on 1:72!)

Hmm, the first thing that jumps to mind would be a 1/25 1956 Dodge Coronet hardtop. It could be a curbside. Now in the aircraft category I'd nominate the Tu-22 Blinder in 1/144 followed by a Northrop YB-49 and Convair B-32 in the same scale.
1/48 - due from Revellogram later this year (not the reboxed Italeri.) Which'll be great, since I'll have a whole hornet chronology, except for the YF-17...
Some vehicles and mechs from Macross/Robotech/Battletech not done by Armorcast, in an equivalent scale to those for compatibility sake(1/72? I think). People play wargames with them, hence the compatibility suggestion.
The oddball vehicles from the Star Wars universe. Fine Molds is doing a great job on the "common" stuff (TIE Fighters, X-wing, etc.) but no one's filling the gap, and there's plenty of fodder there no one's touching.
1/35th Aliens "stuff", critters, Colonial Marines, much like the good stuff AEF Designs did years ago.
Heck, 1/35th Predator stuff to go with the Aliens critters...just in time for the movie this summer, if it gets released.
I second the motion on the Battlestar Galactica idea mentioned earlier.
Resurrect the Weird-Ohs line, and include the ones conceived but not executed like the Aero-toons, some of the Sports types, etc.
More, more, more W.W.II Allied figures, 1/72 and 1/35th scale.
