well I seriously think we need to take this a step further:

1. B32 Dominator

2. YB40

3. Neptune (can't remember all the numbers)

4. a whole series of the Northrup flying wings

5. revised hailfax with a radial version as well

6. a new HS 177

7. a new B17E

8. a new B17C

9. B24M

10. I no it's not a heavy, but how about a new Pe-2?

I am for new C-130 models, but I want to see some of the early versions too, C-130A, B and some other non transport variants like the gunships and drone control. I also want to see some early B-25s like the B,C and D. Also new tool B-52s, especially the early ones.

Please! I would give my left arm and both of my legs for new tools of these:

All of the C-135 series. Release a baseline kit and let us buy the neccessary conversions/upgrades to model any aircraft. Something like the current weapons sets that are out today would work for that. Having all of the conversions/upgrades in injection moldings.

An up to date B-52H. Again, conversions could be done in injection moldings. A D model would also be killer.

A new tool B-1B, but in 1/48. I would do 1/72 if it was detailed enough.

A new tool B-36 would be awsome, but I guess I won't see that in my life time.

That's about all I have for right now.

RYAN.

UM released a series of them, it is a really nice looking kit. Recessed panel lines and options to make all of the various versions. They're are still available out there at some retailers.

:D, My list, if it already exists in fibreglass (Amodel style) then I'm happy with that.

Canadair Argus

DHC-7

Canadair Transport (can't think of its name at the moment but it was a swing tail development of the Bristol Britannia, all plastic)

Bristol Britannia (Perhaps in an option kit of the above Canadair kit, all plastic)

Short Belfast (all plastic)

Blackburn Beverly (all plastic)

Douglas C-133 (all plastic)

A.W. Argosy (a/p)

Lockheed C-130A/E/H/J Hercules (accurised a/p)

Antonov An-70 (not likely in a/p but fibreglass will do me)

Antonov An-124 (as above)

Antonov An-225 (as above)

Junkers Ju-488 (a/p)

Junkers Ju-390 (a/p)

Junkers Ju-90 (a/p)

Boeing C-17 (a/p)

Lockheed C-141 (A and B models, perhaps as options in the same kit, a/p)

Vickers VC10

Ilyushin Il-62 Classic (fibreglass will do)

All the Airbus twins and their variants military and civilian (a/p)

Airbus A340 (all plastic)

Airbus A380 (all plastic)

Kawasaki C1 and the new C2 (a/p)

Beriev Be-10 (a/p but fibreglass would do)

Beriev Be-12 (as above)

Beriev Be14 (as above but possibly as a conversion kit)

Chinese Turboprop version of the Be-12 (probably as a conversion kit)

Chinese Turboprop version of the Tu-4 (B-29, probably also as a conversion kit)

Y-8 (Chinese version of the An-12, a/p).

that's all I can think of at the moment but I'm sure there are many more I'd like to see in 1/72 plastic or fibreglass model form.

:cheers:,

Ross.

Heck I would love a new 1/72 B-1. Hasegawa would be my preference though. If one of the Chinese manufactures does it theres no way I will buy it. Kinda sick of seeing all these new kits that are nowhere near accurate and have those godawful trench line and pothole surface detail. Just my 2cents.
