I've seen one of those, but it was a LONG time ago, and I don't remember where.
Or maybe it was a Ford, and my memory is worse than I remember it being.
That said, what I'd like is the Disney version of the Nautilus.

Just do what the navy did - get an A-6 and some spare parts and fake it. :)

I thought about that...ID Models used to make a vac-form EA-6B in 1/32.
A little surgery...

It was black and silver...so it would have been old livery. Looked like it was a sight-seeing special.
...and the guy flying the Lufthansa DC-9 I was on must have been having a wartime flashback...we flew from Zurich to Frankfort at about 5K AGL,

they did a total resto to the exact standards if i read right, right?
what was the non jet and non hornet model for 54?
you can be in my dream if i can be in your dream.

There once was one from Frog. I do not know if they have showed up in Eastern European boxings. In any case, a new mould would be in order.

I'd like a mid 40's dodge power wagon in 1/24 or 1/25th. Fat chance.
Hmm, I'd like a '36 Dodge coupe, a '52 Hudson Hornet, a '54 Kaiser Manhattan and a '55 Buick Special. Similar chances, I fear.
Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.
Aside from the cars mentioned elsewhere, I'd like to swim against the current and ask for some more 1/144th and 1/100th stuff. Put me down for a B-45, AJ Savage, A3D, F-89, F-94, P-61, A-26, A-20, PBM, Boeing 247 and to be really impractical, an XB-46.

Just about every aircraft listed has been/is being produced in 1/72 scale. You may have to go to resin or vacuform, but they are out there.
Give me one or two specific aircraft and I'll post here who has done it from the ESM 72 database of 15,231 seperate kits/models.

There had used an A-20-or-B-26 looking airframe that they used for a test bed for the in-line fold up main landing gear in the fuselage for the B-47 -or- maybe the B-52
Just what aircraft was it that they did use
I would like to see more Aircraft like this produced as modeling subjects and put out in 1/48 scale. There were lots & lots of airframes that were altered to test out how projects they were thinking of would really work before they actually went and built the whole aircraft

Advertising! Get the kids away from the keyboards and over to the work benches to do something constructive (with their hands).
30 years ago, there were scale modeling magazines in almost all newsstands and store magazine racks. Now, I have to go to Barnes and Nobel to see any.
did you see my thanks for the decals? i can't remember....
limited appeal might make it too expensive.
in 48th scale.
Another vote for the Dragon Rapide, and a Hornet Moth. Both would be even better in 1/24. Maybe a 1/32 DH88 Comet too.
Agreed on the 1/24! While we're at it, how about a Beech 17 Staggerwing, too? BobbyG
...and a series of WACOs.
~Some~ folks would say that that's us...... 8-P
