Jennings Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Tell me what you think. I'm talking about regular tooling, not short run, not Eastern European. These would be moderately detailed, competitively priced, accurate (that's a key), and would have well researched and accurate decal choices in a regular spiffy looking retail box.

Josh1971 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 The vulcan and the BUFF would be of interest to me, but you'd clean house if you did a new mold of a 1/144 C-5 Galaxy. jb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I like all three, especially the Vulcan. However, I would love to see a 1/144th C-160. I know F-resin makes one, but that's not plastic. What 1/144th really needs is some Russian stuff, like the Tu-154 (Although these would be more civilian I guess). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vesper Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Ok, I'm goin nitty-gritty here, but which version of the Vulcan will be the mainline kit, and will other variants be avalible as well? Same goes for the C-119 (I think an AC bird would be sweet) Ves Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What 1/144th really needs is some Russian stuff, like the Tu-154 (Although these would be more civilian I guess). The C-160 is *way* too esoteric and of limited sales potential to invest in 1/144 plastic (Revell has its own agenda). As for the Vulcan (post above), we're talking about the B.2 most likely. I can't see there being a huge market for a 1/144 B.1/B.1A or a K.2. Blue Steel and possibly Skybolts would be a possibility, as would of course Black Buck parts, but this is all theoretical at this point anyway. As to the "Russian Stuff" post above - Zvezda is doing a 1/144 injection molded Tu-154M that was supposed to be out last autumn. It's expected sometime this year. If it's as nice as their (and now Revell's) Il-86, it should be super. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I did not know that about Zvezda. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'd be interested in the B-52. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PBoilermaker Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Vulcan and B-52, yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trash hauler Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Jennings, Just to add another opinion. I think the '119 would go over big. But since we are talking 1/144th, and multi-nation - how about a P-2 Neptune ? Plenty of countries flew it, and there are definitely more than enough varients to keep everyone happy. Just a thought. Instead of the "same ole thing" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonW Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I threw in my votes for all three. Depending on price, I'd probably buy multiples. If you're talking C-119's, I would definitely like to see the AC-119K Stinger. The cargo one doesn't do much for me, but the gunship would look sweet next to my AC-123 and AC-130 in 1/144. Also, as Josh pointed out, a 1/144 C-5 Galaxy would go over really well as far as sales potential goes. I'd defintiely buy one, maybe even two depending on price. Same for the B-52's.

svaz Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'm down for the C-119 or the AC-119K in the proper large-plane scale. Transall would be nice, too. 'Bout time for me to order that Amodel C-123 I guess ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TuveB Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 C-119 aerial tankers, AC-119 gunships and X15 carrying B-52's bring 'em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxtype Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'd be down for a Vulcan and a BUFF.....................remind me to tell my little brother,too,he loves the Vulcan! -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhead Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 B-52D in 1/144? I'm all for it. I'd rather see a Victor than a Vulcan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
