Why o why hasn't anyone done either of these?

1/48 - TF-9J "Twogar "

1/48 - a real T-45 Goshawk

Exactly, those two would be sweet.

I think we'll see a 1/48 t-45 announced some time this year.

The TF-9J will have to be from Collect aire.

Oh Hobbycraft/Trumpeter if they ever get around to producing more variants from their new F9F series.

Unless someone else has the foresight to realize that we really need a good Cougar series.

40's/50's jets are a seriously overlooked market segment. We've got a few Panthers and F-86F Sabres, a couple of decent straight wing F-84's, and finally a couple of FJ-4 Fury kits.

But no Phantoms, Banshees, Cougars, new F-80/T-33 Shooting Stars, FJ-2/3, F-86A/E Sabres, and so on.

Trainers in general are a seriously overlooked market segment. The T-28 served for at least 30 years in 27 different countries, training God knows how many aviators.

And the Monogram kit from 1956 is the only one available? Seriously?

Sorry. Previous post turned into sort of a rant that wasn't aimed at you.

I'm not feeling good. Hopefully you didn't read that as if I was angry/arguing or something with you. That's not how that was intended. I apologize if it came across that way.

It's kinda funny trying to come up with a new kit that is commercially attractive and viable in all those categories.

For my 3 votes....

48th F-86A/E

48th F-80/T-33 series

48th Do-17 series

350th ship

USS Enterprise CV-6 - you could do what probably 3-4 boxings of the differant periods

But it is funny I had a 'ell of a time trying to think of what else to do that a mainstream mfg could think of that is not yet announced or thought of. Considering all of the wild rumours I have heard of future Trumpeter releases (48th Sunderland?) almost anything is possible (Paper Panzers seem to be a fertile ground right now).

Funny for a rumourmonger I have a hard time trying to come up with something in all of those catagories

Sitting here, having a brew, watching the Masters and waiting for the first person to list about 30 kits. <_<

I put my list up over there :woot.gif:
